…Build/Edit a website on HumboldtMusic.com

- Cookies must be enabled for many of the site configuration features to work properly.
- If you haven't entered your Directory listing, do so (see above).
- Find your listing (go to "search" and type in your listing name)
- Go to the bottom of your listing page and click "edit this listing"
- Submit your password
- Click on "Edit your custom website"

Link Menu from your Humboldtmusic.com
Website Administration page: |
- Upload Images: Upload photos or graphics for your front page, background, and header. Opens in a new window; after you upload, hit "refresh" on your admin page to see the changes.
- Edit Name, Title, Description: Modify your Humboldtmusic Listing, including contact info and small "button" graphic for rotation.
- Manage Songs: Enter Lyrics*, the "Story behind the song*," writing/performance credits, etc. Then you may upload an Mp3 and set the permissions (okay to download, streaming only, etc.) Note: Businesses will see a "manage coupons" link instead
- Activate/Deactivate Calendar: Toggles the "gigs" link on and off. When the calendar is "activated," your visitors may click on the gigs link and see a list of all of the HM calendar's events which have your name in their title, description, or keywords. (businesses: "Gigs" becomes "events")
- Press: Type or paste the text that will appear on your "Press" page. The "Press" link will only appear on your site after some content is entered through the "press" form.*
- Front Page Text: Appears below your front page graphic and caption.*
- Edit Text
& page colors: Modify the "color scheme" of your website; font color, link color, backgrounds. here you may also modify the font face used on your site.
- Edit QuickURL: Whatever word you enter into this form will be in the URL you can give out to people to get them to your website at Humboldtmusic.com, i.e.: "http://www.humboldtmusic.com/nameofyourband"
- Edit Search Term: Modify the keyword(s) used to search the HumboldtMusic calendar for your events via your page's "gigs" link. By default, your name (as it appears in the directory) is used, but sometimes events will be missed (if an event doesn't use all the words in your listing name, if your name is misspelled in the event description, etc.). If you think there is a search term that is more "foolproof" than your listing name for finding all of your events, use the "searchterm" feature, otherwise, leave it blank.
- View WebPage: Open the "live" version of your site in a new window, so you see what the public sees. Hit "refresh" on the live site whenever you make a change from your admin page.
- Log Out: Signs you off, so the next person playing with your computer can't access your website management features.
