Bottom line, you guys are not using this site to your full advantage. So I felt like I should type up a little motivational speech for you.
Very soon, we are adding a music management system that works pretty much like soundclick. So, that will be one way to help promote your music. On top of that, do you guys realize you have the power to promote your music, other than using the forum? Well you do, and listen up!
Check out my own page here:
My Personal Page
Thats right, this is my own personal page I created using the wiki. You guys can do the same thing! You can write your own biography, and organize your music on your personal page, and link your pieces to the discussions. You will also be found on Google if you type your page correctly. I will personally look at every page to make sure it conforms to the rules, (everything in 3rd person) and to help optimize your page. Oh yeah, this site is very search engine friendly, why don't you take advantage of the power, and of the fact I am letting you guys use this power?
If you organize all of your music links on this page, you can direct people to different parts of your threads, threads that may be long forgotten. I am giving you the opportunity to remind those who forgot about your threads, or who never responded.
I am also encouraging you guys to put your created personal pages in your
signatures. Although we do not allow external links in signatures, we will allow these internal links to your personal homepage within this site, because it will help promote you as a composer within this community. You may also remind people of your personal page when you type a thread, or would like people to check out your collection.
If you go here,
Write Articles and type in your name in the box and click submit, you are taken to an edit page. Here is where you can get started. If you are unsure of how to use the wiki, read my tutorial which is located at the above link.
Make sure you type your profile in 3rd person. No "I" is allowed. I would like everyone to follow a single format, for example, take a look at my personal page. It isn't imperative, and it obviously doesn't have to be exactly like my page (we all have different interests) but if we all follow the same kind of format structure, it gives this site a sense of professionalism and conformity, and makes it easier for new members who aren't so creative with formatting, to type up their own page (they will just copy our single format). I highly recommend that you guys do NOT put your email addresses on your page due to spam. You could put the nickname you use on the forum on your page though, that wouldn't be a problem.
Any questions?
