I learned to play my Baritone Ukulele with Chordie, and I doubt I'd be as good as I am today without having used Chordie for reference to some of my favorite songs!

No problem, as always, I am here to help and can be a good resource if you ever just need a second opinion from another developer.

Grand! Glad to hear you've got it fixed, I'd like to help if you need any further help.

Setup a 301 redirection through htaccess like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^chordie.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chordie.com/$1 [L,R=301]

or if you want all traffic to go to the non-www:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.chordie.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://chordie.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Because your site is basically duplicated on the non-www compared to the www and search engines don't like that and it's also confusing for when you bookmark the site. Just wanted to do my part in helping out the site :-)

Okay to be more precise, is this explaination correct?

- Songs on All Songs listing are Alpha Order
- Songs and Albums in Album listing are Alpha Order
- Songs and Albums in Artist Edit are Alpha Order

Okie, not sure if this is related but I'm also seeing a bug with the order of songs not being shown in proper track order like on the album. For example, The Early Four Track Recordings by Of Montreal. It's in alpha order instead of track order.

Please take a look at the preview page and the edit page of Of Montreal, there's some missing songs. I'm talking about the blue and bold songs, there are no entries for a bunch of them on the preview / live page when it's activated.

Okay great. Also, I've got a few questions, I'm not sure if they are in documentation some where on this, but I'll put them here and you can point me in the right direction.

I've begun to make the Of Montreal artist page pretty in the edit area, but now I'm a little confused on three things.

One: When I add a song, the title becomes blue, does that take time to be added?

Two: The radio buttons on the song pages, does that select what shows by default?

Three: If I put a new url on a song that has a chordie already (editing the song), directing to a more correct version of the song on the chordie site which isn't associated to the song, does that take time to add to the song?

Alright cool, would you be able to make the change for the artist name? If so, "Against Me" should be "Against Me!"

How do we submit corrections to artist names or similarly, give an exact link for their wikipedia article?

By the way, thanks for helping me through getting in :-) I've already started making a difference and I feel a great sense of accomplishment!

If an artist does not have a wiki article on them, you are unable to improve them. Is a wiki article required or is this a slight bug?

I went through the process for Of Montreal and I'm taken to a blank page still, this time with a query string with the name of the artist at the end of the link.

It tells me about the system of editing Artists and what the benefits to the community / site are. Then has a button to become an editor, I click it and the link takes me to a page with no body content, and by body content I mean, in the html content, there's a <!-- comment --> for the body content and there's nothing in there but the footer. It pulls up a blank browser artist template. Firefox 2, Windows XP, http://www.chordie.com/becomeeditor.php

Both Radiohead and Of Montreal to test if I was able to edit.

Were you a beta tester for the new artist system? And are you able to modify information yet?

I tried to become an editor but when I clicked the button it took me to a page with no success message or notification. And when I clicked "Improve this page" again, it asked me to become an editor again which gave me the same problem.

I don't think the entire site would get shut down, they would just have to exclude artists for which the lawyers are flustered about. Personally, I'd want my lyrics / chords known for the songs of mine. I don't really understand why they would want to remove them from chordie since having them in chordie is like having your website in google. And if something's incorrect in the chord, you can just correct it. So chordie is the number one site out there in my opinion for chords / tabs. Every other site is littered with a tangled web of advertisements and an inability for community contribution. Good job chordie!

I'm a PHP developer and can lend a hand in anything you may need. I'd like to help Chordie out as much as it's helped me out.
