CODE for linking the appropriate CONTEST STATION to your song by Social Spit on The Pipeline at IndieMusicPeople

CODE for linking the appropriate CONTEST STATION to your song
Like this one, for the FOLK station:

< a target=_blank href="http://iacmusic.com/station_contest.aspx?stationid=6768&Sort=nVotes">< img border=0 src="http://iacmusic.com/images/voteIAC.gif" width=150>< /a> < br>

(Take the spaces out where I have the < a target > and < img src > and < /a> and < /br> codes).

This one reduces the size of the image, sticks a line break after the image, and links directly to the FOLK voting page, and sorts by votes:

See?

You can copy the URL for the vote-ordered station of your song, just put the right Genre in there.

This way people can go in and vote directly for you!

A-Hahaha!

That's a great piece of info, Soc Split. Would u be so kind as to dumb that down for a totally techno illliterate like myself? I have no clue how to do this. Where do you copy this URL? Please leave no turn unstoned!

Well, copy that code up in my first post to NOTEPAD and remove the spaces where I indicated:

< a target=_blank href="http://iacmusic.com/station_contest.aspx?stationid=6768&Sort=nVotes">< img border=0 src="http://iacmusic.com/images/voteIAC.gif" width=150>< /a> < br>

between the "<" and "a", "<" and "img", "<" and "/", and "<" and "br"

(I had to post it that way because it was not showing the code, it would just post the image and link).

Then log in to your artist account and go to "edit mp3 files and song details" and paste the corrected code into the "Deion" field, then update the song and it will show up.

Replace the URL for the appropriate vote-sorted CONTEST STATION with the station where your songs are in-contest:

a target=_blank href="http://iacmusic.com/station_contest.aspx?stationid=6768&Sort=nVotes"

That is the piece of code calling up the STATION, replace this part of it:

http://iacmusic.com/station_contest.aspx?stationid=6768&Sort=nVotes

with the vote-sorted station of your choice, for example:

http://iacmusic.com/station_contest.aspx?stationid=6768&Sort=nVotes

that is the URL for the vote-sorted FOLK entries, and I voted for one of your songs in there, btw.

He had big hit called "Runaround Sue", I remember it well. I'd like to write songs in that field, too.
