Challenge: Update your BMD profile, a Friend's, or the Site

Postby Freewave » 06 Jun 2013 10:26

Hey guys. I am going away on vacation in just under 2 weeks and one thing I'd like to do to fill some of that brief downtime before it to get BMD (at http://bronymusiciandirectory.blogspot.com/ or bronymusic.com) a little more up to date. But to do that i really need a little help for anyone and everyone.

The site has always been designed so that you can get information about large and small brony artists, search via genres, and find plenty of links for brony music around the web.

Here's what I'm looking for:

1. Check to see if you're listed on the alphabetical list on the left hand side
a. if not, click on rainbow dash icon on the top right of the website and fill out a profile submission (you will need at least 2 "pony songs" and on ytube (not soundcloud)
b. if so, make sure it's got the summary, links, and videos you want (if not then submit for some changes in the comments field on your artist profile PAGE, not anywhere erlse.)

2. Check to see if your friends or peers are listed and are up to date as well. a. If not then you can make comments on their profile page on how it can be improved.

3. Click on the genres section in the top right menu and pick a favorite genre or two, now drill down on the banner of each genre until it searches for brony musicians who do those genres.
a. Are you finding all the musicians that YOU know who specialize in those genres?
b. If not then list a few in the comments section that should show up in results and I'll tag their profiles so that they DO.
c. See a genre that brony musicians specialize NOT listed? Lemme know (Trap and Electro Swing will likely be created soon...)

4. See anything that's out of date or can be improved?
Let me know in here! I'd be glad to discuss anything that can help the site be more useful or user friendly then it is. If anyone has any ideas to encourage repeat traffic or further exposure of the site too let me know as we do pretty well but could always do better. ;)

Thanks everybody.

I never did ask you to update my page.
Here's my info -

Name - The Ocular Invisible
Photo - https://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000032484 ... 00x200.jpg
Description - The Ocular Invisible is a 15 year old EDM producer specializing in house, dubstep, drum and bass, and moombahton. He's been an avid brony since mid-2012 and joined the music scene in late 2012. Right now, his biggest dream is to DJ for BronyPalooza.

The tracks I have on there right now are the only pony tracks I've made in a while, but after R&R is out I'll have a new one to add whether I make it or not.

I'll be changing my profile, but first I'll have to actually upload songs to youtube for once.

Awesome. I can't post the 2 non pony tracks but can do the 2 prior. Blogger couldnt fine either of those 2 avatars so i'll have to publish those when i can download and post them myself. Your profile is in draft and otherwise ready to go up in the next day or two. ;)

Exo, why do you hate YouTube so?
Can I submit my profile at any time? I've got like over 9000 projects to finish soon for upload.

I personally hate it because my internet sucks and it takes literal days to upload High Quality Audio and Visual Files to it.

You're talking to a guy who spends a full day on a pmv on every track and who sometimes uploads 4-6 times just to get a thumbnail that i like. Just uploading a HD video with a single thumbnail or visualizer its really super simple and not worth complaining about. Broadband is pretty essential these days. If the problem is your internet.... get better internet....profit!! :D

We use youtube only because that's the standard for the community and soundcloud embeds are a PAIN in the ass for blogspot.

Yup, I'd recommend highlighting your best work rather than stuff you're not proud of. A positive profile only works if it highlights good music. ;)

Yeah, its just that I'm only 16 and live half in the middle of no-where and our internet was average quality when I was born.

But yeah, I'll work on making some videos and stuff. I really want to change the songs I have up.
