Blogs

<p><span style="font-size: small;">In this Episode of "Did You Know?" we will discuss Blog Messages!! After seeing some of the messages I thought we should visit this area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Links</span></span> - I see a lot of links in blogs that are not clickable links. The easiest way to make a link clickable in the blogs is to type the name of the link in the editor window, highlight it and you will notice that the two icons next to the anchor in the tool bar have become active. Click the little chain link icon and then past the url in. Your highlighted text is now a link!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Pictures</span></span> - If you have the url for a picture like www.mixposure.com/picture.jpg you can place the cursor in the editor and click the picture icon next to the smilie face. Paste the link in and you are all set. From here, you can also resize the image if it is too large!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">YouTube and other Videos</span></span> - I see this all of the time. People trying to add youtube clips or other video embed codes and just can't get it to work. For youtube there are two options. The first being to click the youtube icon and pasting the video id. This is the alpha-numeric code that looks like xvg4ye7j.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The other is using the full embed code. For this type of code, click the HTML box on the top left of the toolbar. This will open a new window. Paste the full embed code in here and click update. Do not be surprised if you do not see the video in the editor. Submit your message and you will see the video in the blog!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">I hope this helps!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p>

<p>I still have no new songs in the works! I am working on a few collabs but every time I start doing vocals, I have my 3 year old coming in the room saying, "what are you doing?" So eventually I will figure out the timing and get something done.&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks to everyone for stopping my my page. Hey maybe I can get an instrumental done!</p><p>Dazed</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I've done some further work on a couple of my tracks.</p><p>On One Hour With You I completely redid the vocals. There were a couple of unnecessarily aggressive sections in the original vocals, and I've settled into the song more now so it seems to flow more smoothly.</p><p>On "Can't Stop Thinking About You" I again redid the lead vocals (and fortunately they still matched the harmonies), changed the percussion in the chorus section, redid the organ and added a lead solo.</p><p>Both tracks wlll be included on my forthcoming "Tortology" CD, so I would welcome any suggestions for improvement before I commit myself to the necessary financial obligations.</p><p>The songs are on my page at</p><p><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Self_Tort/music.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Self_Tort/music.php</a></p><p>Cheers</p><p>Brian</p>
