Artist biographies are finally back |
|
We're very pleased to announce that the artist biographies from Wikipedia have finally returned to this site. Due to a change at our service provider Ontok, the articles have to be linked manually to Wikipedia from now on, so this will take a little time.
For many of the much-visited artist pages, these links have already been added. The rest will follow soon! Feel free to mail us the exact Wikipedia article name if you want your favorite's artist profile completed.

Welcome to MusicPortl, YouTube.com! |
|
We are proud to announce the arrival of YouTube.com at your favorite web2.0 music information portal, MusicPortl.com!
Just to the right of the blog container on the profile pages, you will find the videos YouTube has got on the artist you are looking for.
We are trying hard to filter duplicate videos, but please don't be dissappointed if sometimes the same video appears more than one time as we cannot compare the video files themselves, but rather the titles of the clips, and those are not always very well-chosen.
So much for the talking, now go and check it out!

New rating feature implemented |
|
There is a new feature on the artist profile pages which lets you rate each artist from 1 to 5 stars and shows you the current standing visually. You can find the rating bar just below the artist picture in the biography text.
Of course there is no one who would have voted for any artist yet, so don't wonder that there are no standings available. Now, go out and do the best you can so we can put "best-rated-artist" stats up soon!
The blog container has been updated as well, trimming it for better optics and functionality as it is now containing more information, the posting date and the url of the blog in particular.
Oh, and I almost forgot: This news-feature is new itself and you are reading news #1. Hopefully many will follow, keep checking back for updates!
