First of all, Happy New Year! * News: If you maintain a project related to csound (frontends, utilities and such) you should contact me (specifying your account name) so that I can upgrade the account to give it permission for publishing a news entry. You could publish a news entry to annouce a new project or a new release and it will appear in the home/news page. * Forums: it would be preferable to have the forums about specific versions/frontends administered by the project's authors. Also, if there are other forums you would like to have, please do tell! * Blogs: when you make an account on the website you can post on forums and post comments on news (and in a near future also below tutorial pages and whatnot) but you can also post on your own blog page. Each blog has his own page and there's an index page www.csounds.com/blog. Once you'll start publishing on blogs and forums, we'll put the links to the last blog posts and the last forum entries on the sidebar. One last note: all the pages of the website with the old layout have been linked without any modification. And most of them have broken/outdated links. So there's no need to report those broken links, since they will soon be cleaned and checked and then integrated in the new version. Cheers, -c. -- www.cesaremarilungo.com |

I just did a test blog at cSounds.com. Not sure if this was the intended result, but my blog entry showed up on the front page. I personally only expected it to show up at www.csounds.com/blog. Front page aside, this new blogging functionality at cSounds may prove to modernize the Csound community.

No it wasn't. :-) I've set the intended behavior now. Blog posts can be about anything (related to csounds). In particular, it would be interesting for users to document his/her experiences about working with csound. So, they're not necessarily news. Those with a 'contributor' profile can post news too. But we should decide what qualifies as a news. To me it would make sense to use it almost exclusively for software announcements and mayor events/facts. Please, let's discuss this all together. Keep in mind that the /blog page has its own feeds that you can subscribe too. Or you can subscribe to individual blogs too. Neat, isn't it? I have also added the block with the most recent blog posts to the sidebar. There's also one for the most active forum topics, which is now invisible since there isn't any. Cheers, -c.
