Site Updates

Posted May 4 2009

We've added some new features to our websites and we just wanted to give you a rundown of what's new! First, if you go to our blog, besides the new layout you'll notice there are now links to share each post on various social bookmarking sites. We wanted to make it really easy for all of you to share anything that you think is awesome on our site.

Speaking of sharing. We also added links to the discography section of our website that will allow you embed each song with a shortened URL right into your tweets on Twitter! Song.ly is the company that puts this service out, and it's really cool. People click the Song.ly link, and they go right to a web page with an embedded music player where they can play the song. The share button for Twitter on our blog automatically shortens the URL of the post for you too, because we're cool like that.

And finally, we put ourselves up on Wikipedia! We know that we have a bio section of our site, but we didn't want to put all the really specific details there. We tried to keep that bio short and sweet, and then put the extended version up on Wikipedia. If you want to know everything there is to know about Divergence you can check our Wikipedia page: User:Divergencemusic. Because of some of the rules regarding Wikipedia and how they maintain the site, you can't get a main page until enough other people edit the page and request that it be moved off of a user account and turned into a main page on the site.

*Edit: We just went to our Wikipedia page and saw they blocked our account from editing pages, because apparently user accounts are supposed to be for individuals and not groups, and the website is not to be used for "Promotional" articles. Since the post was written by the group it is about, they consider it a conflict of interest. We just sent them a response to try and see what we need to do to properly have ourselves listed. We'll let you know what happens.
