Topic: Additions to Weeniepedia

[dj]

As of today, we have 1,300 country blues song lyrics transcribed in Weeniepedia

Wow, that's impressive, considering that I remember when there weren't 1,300 country blues songs available on LP to transcribe.  Gosh, that thought makes me feel old.

Please check it out if you've not been there before or if it's been a while since you've been there.  If you click on Lyrics when you first go to Weeniepedia, you'll be sent to the alphabetic listing of all the transcribed songs.  If on that page, you click on "Lyrics by Artist", it will take you to a page where you can link to Lyrics pages for all of the artists' whose songs we've transcribed.

Great work. Here are direct links to the lyric content pages you mentioned:

Now the recent bandwidth issues are under control I'll take another look at integrating weeniepedia search more tightly with the forum.

[Rivers]

I've added a weeniepedia search to the forum, immediately underneath the regular search box in the left column. It's version 1, the alignment is not perfect particularly on Opera & IE6, will fix.

So if you type a search term into the weeniepedia search box the wiki search results will open in a new browser tab in the current tab.

[later: I think it works better to make it open the wiki results in the same tab, particularly with Safari which insists on starting a new browser session. You can hit the back button to navigate back to the forum]

Too cool! 

[Rivers]

If anyone thinks it's a good idea we could put a third search up there as well, juke playlist search w/dropdown for search by title / artist / album / all, per the juke playlist page. In fact I'll put a demo together so we can see how it looks.

I just tried it out and it works like a charm.  Well done, Rivers!
All best,
