Ok, unlike the other forums, after posting messages here the Subject line becomes critical. People can't remember which post they've already visited because as people respond with comments it brings the post back up to the top of the page.

So, instead of saying "Here's my stuff" as a topic. I think it would be good to be more formal and specific.

1. How about listing the name of the song listed.

2. How about posting direct links to the song and not to a page with 11 different songs.

3. And like I requested in the first PLEASE READ post on this subject it would be good if you try to classify the type of music.

So a post Subject line might read:
"Name of my new song" Country-blues

Does this make sense?

I'm seriously thinking of making it so you can post but no one can reply to your post. This way, they'll be in chronalogical order of when they were posted. And an old post can't be bumped to the top of the page by someone posting a response that says, "great song."

I've made this a poll on that issue -- what do you think?

PS For all you posters that can please hit the EDIT button of your post and change the subject line to something much more descriptive... like I suggested. This isn't a requirement, but mearly a suggestion.
