  • SM Quotes

    by Idan on December 29, 2004
    We're feeling that SM has moved forward quite a bit since its 3rd awakening from [yet another] a Great Downtime. A good way to do some self-advertising is to have your users praise the site by sharing their thoughts on it and quote them on that. That's exactly what we've done by updating our Quotes page. If you'd like to try your luck and maybe even get featured in the mentioned page, check out the SongMeanings Quotes thread in the forums.

  • A Small Update

    by Idan on December 24, 2004
    In case you guys haven't noticed yet, we have brought back our printer-friendly feature. When visting a lyric's page, you will see right above the bottom-right ad box a "Printer Friendly" link. Click it. :) Also, we'd like to get from you some nice quotes about SM. The best ones will be featured on our quotes page.

  • Lyrics&Artists Approval/Rejection

    by Idan on December 20, 2004
    Mike (our beloved adminstrator and top coder) is a blessing. He seriously is. Our new code for approving and/or rejecting submitted artists and lyrics is incredible. Just the other day I have approved (and rejected...) a total of 407 submitted lyrics in ~8 minutes. Amazing. The way it goes is that we have a page which displays about 10 lyrics each time. We review the submitted lyrics and for each lyric we tick the appropriate option: Approve or Reject. Once we're finished with that, we just click on Submit and the lyrics get processed. The same method is applied for submitted artists, though for that we've also got quick Google searching and a forum thread for validating the existance of the artists. Simple. Elegant. Fast. Kinda reminds you of SongMeanings... ;)
