Music Journals update thread?

Trollheart · 08-16-2012, 06:28 AM

Blame the booze, huh? Heard that before!

Nah seriously, as I said in the last post (in case you didn't read it) I'm not looking to drum up business for me: my journal is already popular, I can see that. I'm happy with it.

What concerned me was that other people make pretty amazing posts (Geekoid and Mr Dave in particular, though I read pretty much all the journals, and usually find something of interest in most), but that people who don't read their journals wouldn't know about these posts, and so would miss out. More a showcase of the work of others than a "look at me! Read my journal!" sort of thing.

As for the spreadsheet, yes it sounds dorky but I need it to remind myself what I've already posted, as often I write reviews days/weeks/months in advance, but may not post them right away for many reasons, and later may forget that they haven't been posted yet, as I found out with two of the most recent entries in my journal. I also want to make sure I don't inadvertently post something twice, or even something very similar. Helps me keep a record, and for anyone interested in my journal, or anyone starting reading it, it would also give a roadmap as to where the stuff they may be interested in is, as it's searchable, being a database.

Thanks for the input, and watch out for those pink elephants on the way home.

And if anyone offers you magic beans, buy 'em!

Been there, done, that. It's not as bad as you think. Everyone has a story to tell just go ahead and write it.

No one care, trust me. Every time I find a song I like and think 'oh this be cool to share in my journal', this thought cross my mind:

I know what you are going to say that that sound nihilistic but it's true.

By the way, do I just post the thread and wait for it to be approved, or do I have to contact a mod?

Trollheart · 08-17-2012, 04:50 AM

Just create the thread. All posts in any journal have to be approved, so it basically just goes through the same approval process. I'm sure you'll have no problems. I'll be watching for your debut...!

Yeah Trollheart is right, it will appear in the queue and if we like you enough we may just approve it

You could compromise, and post a weekly-journal-roundup in the What's Happening on MB thread, if you're so inclined. One post a week detailing the recent journal updates.
