The Music Banter Members' Journals Monthly Update Thread

Well the point is everyone starts off with no views, but you only gain those by giving people something to read. At present your journal consists of a list, Veg, which to be fair no-one's terribly interested in. No offence. But when you start adding proper entries to it, talking about the music you like, people will begin to read and your viewcount will grow.

But bear in mind that each day you don't update your journal slips further down the page, and eventually off it onto page 2. People may click on it out of interest while it's on page 1, but rarely if ever once it's left the front page. That's why it's important to always keep your journal --- if you're serious about it --- on the front page. When I see any of mine in danger of slipping towards the end of the page I make a point to throw in an update to get them back up again, front and centre. You have to hold people's attention, show them there's something new here. Even if they don't like it they may click to see what it is, and then you have another view. Not only that, but as long as people keep viewing your journal will remain in a relatively prominent place.

Not to be a poo-pooer, but I'm pretty sure my last update was totally forgotten.

You forgot to mention my two journal entries last week, yes TWO. I thought we were friends Trollheart

I appreciate the nod Trollheart. I gotta start updating again so I can maybe make the list.

Well so far as I can see the last update was all about "I am not Drew" and I mentioned that in last week's update. I have double checked and other than comments I don't see anything new on it, unless I missed something?

Zero man, I must apologise. I was so stuck on adding up points that although I saw your two great updates I did indeed fail to mention them in the main post. Lo siento mucho amigo!

I don't appear to be able to edit the posts, so if a kind mod could add this I'd be grateful. Just after "YorkeDaddy closes the show". Thanks.

How could I have forgotten Zero? He's in fact coming in behind YorkeDaddy, holding the door for him as he leaves and with his own journal http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nal-sound.html buzzing he has an article on Strawberry Switchblade (remember them?) and also an album by AFI (don't remember them?). Sorry man! Head's just jammed up with figures, scores, charts, I don't know where I am!

Definitely missed something. I shortly thereafter posted an entirely new track-by-track review.

[Trollheart]

Yeah, yeah, you're correct (of course; you know your journal). I even read that (and very good it was too) but somehow missed it, like about three times when doing the update. Very sorry about that. Your points were added okay, but I didn't mention the article. Again, sorry about that. I'll make sure it's included in this week's.

I need to hire an assistant, that's what it is! Doing too much work on my own. Any applicants?

I'll be your assistant. So long as it's understood that I'm not doing any work, get paid at least $30 an hour, and get to play video games all day.

I could do it. What shall I do, mastah?

Oh, alright, you're redeemed.
