Digital Rodeo | your country community

Thu. January 03, 2008 Hey everyone!

Tim & Jostin here. As you can see we have made a few changes to DR. We are doing our best to keep Digital Rodeo, easy fun and are trying to give you as many features as we can!

Read on for a quick tour of what’s new!

Home Pages
As you may have noticed when you first logged in, we have revamped our home pages. We have optimized them for everyone's browsers, and we also added room to feature more of the DR content we all know and love.

Introducing Tools
Tools are fun features that we developed based on your feedback. They've been created to help you express and promote yourself to the Digital Rodeo community and make your life easier! The first three tools we have launched are Blogs, Classifieds and Contests. Blogs will let you create personal blogs or news feed. Classifieds is exactly what it sounds like, no we're not a dating website, but classifieds will allow you to sell things, buy things, learn songs, meet band mates, and so much more! Contests will literally allow all you artists to create and manage your own online contests! Go in, create a contest and start having your fans sign up. You can do a classic sweepstakes style contest, or even a picture or video contest. Check out the tools page for more information.

New My Nav
You'll notice that your "my navigation" is a bit different. We did this because of the new features we just added and plan to add soon. The new drop down lists may take a while to get used to, but we promise they'll be worth it! Also notice that you can now get to your profile from any DR page anywhere when you're logged in using the "Profile" dropdown.

Company Profile
Say hello to a new profile type! Companies no longer have to sign up as artists/users, they have their own profile to use. Not only does it have a fancy title, but it has some great features, more features are coming soon, but why wait. If you're a company that is already on digital rodeo, send us an email - we can switch account types for you.

DRML
Feeling a bit tech-savvy? You can now start using HTML in certain areas around the site. We call our version DRML and it’s much safer and easier to use than regular website coding. There are green DRML badges located wherever the code is accepted-- including in messages, bulletins, and of course, on your profile! If you get lost, just click the DRML badge and it will show you what to do.

DR Blog / Profile
We have been keeping you guys updated through little blurbs on your home page, and messages through our profiles. We decided to change things up a little bit, we have created a company account called "Team". This account will be used by Tim, Jostin and the rest of the Digital Rodeo team to keep everyone updated on what's new at DR, as well as provide any support or tech questions that people may have. Although this makes things a little less personal, we promise it's still us answering your questions!

Until next time,
Tim & Jostin
