Mike Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think we could do some amazing things with our ARTISTFACTS page. I'd like to make it a great partner to Songfacts main page. I'm looking for ideas. Suggestions. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 A better lay-out... more interesting features. We've got a This Week's Feature Song... how about one artist per week on the Artistfacts site? Or per month if we'd run out of ineresting artists too soon. Maybe a feature to show how some artists are linked... I;m not sure what that'd be like or how it would work, but it'd be interesting to read about how some artists are much more closely connected than you'd think.

Mike Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I like it. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 If new artists will be featured on the myspace, it might be interesting to see them on the artistfacts site as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Actually I think that Artistfacts could kickass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 And I don't know if this is fit for artistfacts, or if it's feasible for SF at all, but I've always liked these quotes databases. The downside of course is that something like that would mean a whole lot of work... verifying, collecting, organising... it'd take a long time. And just starting out with one or two quotes per artist wouldn't be particularly impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I like that... a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 And it wouldn't have to be just quotes by artists. It could be about them as well... such as other artists talking about how one band influenced them very much in some way, like John Lennon speaking about Elvis, stuff like that. I'm sure we could find a lot of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 that could work very well I already suggested that we expand the "standard facts" (years active, line-up) with the city / country of origin for each band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I like that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I like the quotes idea. We already have some code that can rotate quotes, so it's a matter of putting the database together. We could start a thread and I could compile once we get enough. As for design, I don't have any great ideas, but I'm open to suggestions. I might throw it out to some design people and see what they come up with. Artistfacts definitely needs a new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Sounds great! If you need help with collecting/organising/etc quotes, I'd be glad to be of assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Carl, I just sent you an email with a first draft redesign look for AF. Let me know what you think. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
