press kits suck

[Josh Seipp]

i can't access missingtheground, neither here nor in the secret song thread.

 

[azal]

be sure to send it to nuclear blast.

List of people not getting signed to Nuclear Blast anytime soon, in alphabetical order:
1. Triac

 

[avi]

you should organize the page so people don't have to scroll for all the info. they should be able to see everything at once or they might not read it

 

[azal]

also I thing I always wondered about promo material...if a source makes a typo "maudling of the well" do you leave it in or are you at liberty to correct it.

Or did josh make the typo?

 

[Josh Seipp]

cool, thanks. that's a good call. uh how would I do that I made this piece of crap page with microsoft frontpage.

guys I took that thing directly from the reptilian records website! they said it, not me! (you think I sholud take it out?)

 

[Josh Seipp]

oops, I must have fixed that typo in the wrong version

 

[azal]

I think you can get your point of being a non-genric or derivative grind band across without putting down such a major metal label.

You don't have to take it out, but since you can take it out without changing what you wanted to say about Triac, it's probably a good idea to do so.

 

[avi]

um, I never use frontpage since I code by hand, so I dunno how to help you.

I always correct typos from reviews if I'm reprinting them for press materials.

Count Triac

That'd be an awesome Count!

 

[Josh Seipp]

thanks guys, you've been most helpful!

Make a table of 2 columns x 1 row at the top of your page. Fix the table width to 800 pixel, make sure the width of the borders are at 0 in your table properties. Copy half your text in one column, copy the rest in the other.

 

[Josh Seipp]

ok I'll have to research this 'column' and 'table' nonsense

I'M BEING OBTUSE/HAUNTED

[Josh Seipp]
