Blog Information (Rules, etc)

Ok, so here are the members I have on my list so far. Say something if your name isn't on it and you are planning on contributing

Axe
Brute
Taxer
Wookie

Master Cthulhu

Each of you guys needs to make a blog of your own so I can add you as an author. That way you log into your blog and can edit this blog from there. This is going to be a team effort, each of us will be able to edit the blog.

Ok for rules, they will be very lax, but we need to have a foundation for posting to keep things smooth.

1.) make sure your posts do a good job of covering band history, reason for inclusion (significance), and essential albums and tracks.

2.) make sure they are long enough, but not too long. Just keep it's length similar to the other posts, to keep things even.

3.) make sure you use good grammar. To help check this, each of us should put the post on the forum before the blog, so we can all make slight edits.

4.) keep the posts professional. Feel free to add your own opinions and humor to it, if you'd like. Each of us has our own personality so go ahead and use it. Just don't bash things, that's really the only rule.

5.) Make sure you have an image or two of the band or something to put in your post.




That's basically all I have, if you have any questions or suggestions for the rules list go ahead and post them.

I am extremely happy and impressed with this idea. I will surely begin my blog today! I want to do Iced Earth

wow byd, how nice. there are only 499 other bands to do

im sure you can ask for a couple. i mean, 1 is kinda lame

It's going to go over five hundred Im sure. I changed the blog to reflect that

I like it. So how is this gonna work? Is it one album per day, who contributes to what. etc?

Ok, how this is going to work.

We are going to cover a few bands a week. It's not going to go by album. But I'm thinking, maybe we should have someone make a comment on the post with a link to a discography torrent or something. I'd rather have mediafire links, but that's going to get hectic when a band has 20 albums. We'll decide the number of bands/artists per week here in the near future.

But as for contributions, you will be allowed as an author from your personal blog. When a band comes up that you placed on the list, it will be your job to write it, post it on the forum for spell check, and then post it on the blog. This isn't going to be my personal blog, this is ours so we all are going to write for the bands we posted individually. Make sense?

Oh and Master C, I'm going to need you to do a few bands like Manila Road, Doomsword, etc.

How about we post a link to the albums we personally recommend, instead of their whole discography?

And yeah I can do those bands definitely.

I will do my Blog soonish.

first albums up on mine BTW

Wombbath is the shit, very underrated osdm band

We could do that... that way we could eliminate posting torrent links as well. Fuck torrents.

I agree, good idea. And yeah, you're the go to guy from doom and traditional. I know you got the goods.

To much effort, can't be bothered: I do have a blog account with Minced Squirrel, but bollocks if I can remember my log in.

I'm contributing too. Not as many as everyone else but I'm doing a few. Guess I'll have to make a blogspot account.

Has it started yet? If so, any links?

Hahaha my bad. Yeah I made the blog a few days ago

http://metalisfav.blogspot.com/

Cool. I'll make an account soon. Let me know when you'd like me to do some writing.

Followed.

Guys i need you all to make blogger accounts so I can add you as an author. You don't need to set up your own blog, you just need an account so you can access this blog

dude, idk if i want to. i mean, if i NEED to, i guess...but i want to avoid it.

Brute you already have a google account, all you have to do is make a user name and password. It'll take like a minute.

no, im alrady following. if someone has done it before let me know.
so i need a blog account or what? idk what im supposed to join

All you need is a blogger account. And if you have one give me the email address for it and I'll add you as an author

ahhh, thats what i dont have.

Everyone feel free to post them at your own leisure. Just make sure you run them by the forum first. And I believe I still need a few of your email addresses, so make sure you send them to me so I can add you as authors.

Also, I have noticed you guys have been linking to official sites and forgetting the metal archives link, so make sure you remember that. And also, from now on add a link to the band's official site (if there is one). That's a good idea.

One more thing, begin to add download links for your recommended albums as comments on the post. You can search other blogs for download links.

Try to make the download a mediafire or megaupload link, if possible. Rapidshit and stuff is fine if that's all you can find.

i still cant find a way to post a metal archives link,. my url just doesnt seem to like it. idk how to explain it. i can screen shot.....

clearly, im on a band page...but my url NEVER changes

Hmmm that's strange. Try a different browser just to see if that's the problem.

i thought of that. but i nearly vomited opening up IE


EDIT
ie didnt work

fuck this is weird

It is pretty abhorrent. Foxy Tunes ftw.

i see you like my addons hahaha

Metal-archives is the same way for me. You can link though just right click the link of the band and go to properties for the URL.

http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=141

If you can't get the link to the band page from the search then enter one of their albums and use the "Back to band page" link.

http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=14424

cool. i think that will actually help me hahah

Animals as Leaders is up.
suspect ill knock out a couple more and just save them up

fucking taxer needs to get to work.

Never thought about reviewing stuff on my blog just me bleeding moaning or putting a few of my poems up. Might give this a go! :study:

Cath x

Man, I haven't thought about this in ages... surprised the site is still there.

Damn, my own blog is still up too... guess I should tart it up and actually do something with it.

I will start work on it today, I totally spaced it.

Damn I forgot about this too. I don't really remember why we stopped. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. I'd like to start up on it again, actually.

I was up for starting it up again a while ago, but everyone else seemed to not be that fussed. I may join in. I have a lot more stuff going on these days and it's harder for me to get on the forums but I'll make a few contributions. I think I owe the world and Iron Maiden post.

Everyone already knows about Iron Maiden.

Senrae doesn't.
