The Hippodrome

In the last few weeks, a few readers have noted that The Hippodrome’s “The Business” section has done nothing but disparage other websites, pointing out their faults and just being generally pessimistic. While I can’t disagree, especially with the craptacular nature of so many current online social networks, I do have a bit of good news for the optimists.

I’m proud to announce the addition of a new section to The Hippodrome. Starting tomorrow and continuing every week until our eyes fall out, we’ll have a review of a different music networking/distribution site. These reviews will outline the pros and cons of each site, and let you know if it’s worth putting your music or signing up as a fan on the site. All reviews will be filed under “Site Reviews,” so keep a look out kids!

Hello dear readership!

I’m writing this post to let you all know about a few changes to The Hippodrome. First off, let me apologize for the lack of updates in recent days. It’s been an extraordinarily hectic two weeks, but this is still no excuse. We have a feature slated to go up tomorrow, as well as another later this week, so I assure you, we’ll soon be back in the swing of things.

Other than that, there are a few notable updates to the site. First of all, we’ve just changed our permalink structure from that annoying format of p=? to a much more logical one. This means that if you had linked to a post before, you’re going to have to change it to the new structure, which for features, will always be www.thehippodrome.org/name-of-artist-featured. Easier for everyone!

Also, some of our artists are already getting quite a bit more attention, which means we will now have a “where they are now” section, keeping you updated on what our artists have been doing. This section will detail record deals, major shows, and other prominent media attention.

Say it with me folks, “stay ahead of the heard!” Peace out.
