I have a question...
how do I create a link on my page to my web site? or myspace, etc...

There is a "Text Box" on your page that allows you to enter any HTML that you want. Checkout my page. I've just added a couple of hyperlinks. Let me know if you need more help or have other questions.

The way photos are added to the media/photos page could be better. All NEW photos go to page 1 and all older photos are pushed down. That's great if you only want to look at new photos. If you 're trying to find a photo you've seen before you can't refer to the page it was on previously. If they are added at the other end it would be better. New photos should go at the highest numbered page. Capice?

My only sort options are "Latest", "Most Popular", "Random" and "Top Rated". Which picture are you looking for? Who added it?

I was just looking for my own photos. I first noticed the problem (?) on the LiveBluesWorld page. No biggie.

I've noticed the site clock is EST. What's up with that? :-)

I've fixed the clock. And to view your pictures, simply view all pictures and there is a link to view My Pictures.

Hi Mike,
Two quick questions:

1) What is RSS? Is that a way to post links?

2) I can't seem to find where I can add additional photos. Where do I click for the photo album, or do I have to add an application?

Thanx & Rawk On

Hey Rob. RSS is a way to get the contents of a page or part of a page in a computer readable format so that another computer can redisplay that information somewhere else. For example, Southwest Blues could take the RSS feed from our Events listing and using a simple RSS display widget (I know, geek speak) they could display the entire events list on THEIR page. Same for anyone else. It's a little tricky if you aren't used to using it. But once you've done it, it's simple simple simple. I could help anyone do that, if interested.

As for the photos, if you go to the Community menu and select Photos, you'll see all the community photos. There is also a link to Add a Photo. Click it and you can add your photos. Now, if you want them to appear on your page, go to the Help section and I've written an article on how to do that. I think that if I add the Photos app, you guys will all have that option on your pages. I'll look into that.

Good questions.

I haven't visited in a while, and I noticed my music I used to have posted on my page is gone. Also, I can't find this "text" area to edit. Should I just create a new page?

No. Go to your page and look for a link under your picture that says "Manage My Page". Click that. You can edit what appears on your page there.

If you have any problems, just send me a message directly if you want and I'll help you.

HTH,

Michael
