Links:
About the LSM Communities.
Modules (and
other stuff) we are working on.
Q.
How do I add stuff to my page?
A. At the bottom of each column there is a link
for "add content to this column".
Just click on it to see your choices. Some things
(Featured Artist for example) look a little
different depending on which column you add
them to.
Q.
How do people find my page?
A. At the top of your page in the middle there
is a something called "My link". Use
this link to promote your page. You can add
it just about anywhere you can post content
on the web. People can also check out your page
by clicking on your username any time you post
a message in any of the community discussions.
Q.
How do I move stuff around on my page?
A. Easy - to move a module up, just click on
the up symbol .
To move a module down, just click on the down
symbol .
Q.
What's the deal with the "Unique Views"
and "Total Views" on the page where
I add content?
A. Unique Views are the number of different
people who have viewed your page on LoneStarMusic
and Total Views are the total number of times
your page on LoneStarMusic has been viewed.
So if your mom checked out your page twice and
Sammy Stalker viewed it 35 times, you'd have
2 Unique Views and 37 Total Views.
Q.
We heard that in the future LoneStarMusic would
be awarding LSM Reward Points based on a members
Unique Views.
A. The future is now, my friend. LSM Members
earn 2 LSM Rewards
Points for every 100 Unique Views. So be sure
to get your mom, best friend, uncle Billy, and
your cat to check out your page on LoneStarMusic.
Q.
Same thing on entering tour dates. What kind
of LSM Rewards Points can I earn for that?
A. You'll earn 1 LSM
Rewards Point for every 35 tour dates entered.
As long as they are legit. Entering the same
Jack Ingram New Years Eve show 35 times does
not count. And is slightly annoying, but we'll
still love you all the same.
Q.
If I make a lot of changes to a module and then
"close it", but decide a week later
I want it again, will all of those changes still
be there?
A. No worries, all content is saved even when
you close a module. Just add it back to the
column and all of your pain-staking work will
reappear. For example, if you create a Six Pack,
but then close it. One week later if you add
it back to your page all of your CDs will still
be there.
Q.
I was in the middle of adding and moving a lot
of stuff when I suddenly got a message that
I had to be logged in to do that. What happened?
A. It sounds like your session timed out. 20
minutes of no activity will do that. In order
to avoid that we highly recommend
clicking the box that says "keep me logged
in on this computer" when you first login.
Q.
Why did Willie Nelson have Kenny Chesney produce
his record? Isn't that like a kindergartner
delivering a thesis to the staff at Harvard.
A. {Sigh} The best argument for building a time
machine.
Q.
Is there a list anywhere of modules you're working
on? I'm fairly brilliant, can I offer a suggestion?
A. Yes and absolutely. You can take a look at
what we're working on right now and then send
us a suggestion (you need to be logged in to
suggest a module). Check
it out here.
Q.
I don't like my nickname. How do I change it?
A. It's not a forever thing like a lot of sites.
But it's not easy either. If you have links
to it anywhere, they will no longer work. And
other miscellaneous annoyances. But if you find
it really objectionable send
us some feedback. You could "trick"
the system by getting an email address somewhere
with the part before the "@" being
the nickname you want and then signing up for
a new account with that email address and hoping
no one else already has that nickname. But jeez
that's a lot of trouble, dontcha think?
Q.
I am on fire and I need to pee. Any suggestions?
A. Let 'er rip!
Q.
This is all so wonderful and has brought me
joy without limits. How can we support your
efforts?
A. Get two birds with one stone by buying music,
tees, and more from the artists you find here
on LoneStarMusic.
