 New Front Page, Video Section, Sidebar and Singers Section
Here is a list of improvements that I believe will increase activity and usability. The items are ordered by priority.
These improvements will cost about $1200 totally. Since it is 60% more expensive for me to trade with USD today than just less than a year ago, we will be accepting voluntary donations from you. Here you can see a list of donations that have been made and keep track of the progress.
Please feel free to comment if you have any questions or would like to add to the list.
Front Page - Graphical Banner Linking to Introduction to High Male Voices
- Latest News ( about high male voices )
- Latest Article
- Latest Video
- Latest Picture
- Latest Comments to forum threads, articles, pictures and videos
Sidebar - Sidebar will not be on the front page
- Login box will be on top like it is now
- Beneath it there will be search like now, except it will also allow you to search individual sections ( videos, pictures, forum etc... ) by checking checkboxes beneath the search input box
- Latest Discussions, pictures and videos removed
- Relevant Discussions, pictures and videos added instead ( e.g. if you are viewing the Miserere video with Patrick Husson, the relevant blocks will list threads, pictures and videos with him ).
Videos - The video section will be drastically changed.
- There will be a category for every professional high male voice that has been put on video ( e.g. including Daniels, Manzotti, Dumaux etc... ). The baroque voices will however be more prominent. The baroque voices will be on top and below them, other voices, all in alphabetical order. Boy soprano categories will still be limited to exceptional voices only.
- There will be top categories. Male Sopranos, Sopranists, Countertenors, Boy Sopranos / Trebles and ( exceptional ) Female Voices.
- The video section will now be almost completely automatic. When a video with any of the performers that has a category is uploaded to YouTube, it will instantly be added to MaleSopranos‘s video section site.
- If a video is too long for YouTube, there will however still be an option to upload. The direct upload function should only be used for longer videos ( others will simply be rejected since they will probably already have been added automatically ).
- YouTube videos will not have the YouTube logo in them. They will be just like uploaded videos inside our own video player, not YouTube‘s.
Singers - Discography, Biography and DVDs for all ( adult) high male voices will be added with purchase link to every CD and DVD that is available inside each entry.
