]]> Comment on POSTEROUS Post-By-Email Formatting FINAL UPDATE by Music Tech Talk http://www.dmgardnermusic.com/musictechtalk/?p=878&cpage=1#comment-239 Music Tech Talk Sun, 04 Apr 2010 12:06:35 +0000 http://www.dmgardnermusic.com/musictechtalk/?p=878#comment-239 I must say, I feel incredibly affirmed by the fact that this final post update was successful in every way except the tag propagation issue... Fonts, links, formatting, video and even the inline pics worked out. Apparently, the simple the act of separating the pics with some text makes Posterous place them within the body of the post correctly (at least in blogs other than Posterous itself... Which is kinda weird.). All-in-all, I guess I can live with manually inserting tags into my main WordPress blog.

It was clear from my experience that unless you are willing to fork over more money than the entry level requires, you will get nothing but useless foreign traffic. The site doesn't exactly point out that you probably couldn't speak the language of most of the people visiting or the fact that these visits are likely from people just closing the annoying pop-ups on their screens. I consider this kind of business practice dishonest. FYI, my hits actually went down from the norm when the month was over. It seemed liked, in the process of removing me from their spam engines, they also removed me from wherever else some of my traffic was coming from. One word: <strong>SCAM</strong>. Here's a review from someone with a similar experience. Don't know how reliable the source is, but the story is the same. <a href="http://judgespot.com/review/cheaptargetedwebsitetraffic.com" rel="nofollow">http://judgespot.com/review/cheaptargetedwebsitetraffic.com</a> Nancy, Unfortunately, my opinion about the site has not changed.

Can you update us on whether anything useful actually came of that? Have you changed your opinion at all. Thanks!

]]> Comment on From The Archives Post 2 – I Survived Mahler’s 8th by Music Tech Talk http://www.dmgardnermusic.com/musictechtalk/?p=727&cpage=1#comment-21 Music Tech Talk Fri, 15 Jan 2010 06:11:27 +0000 http://www.dmgardnermusic.com/musictechtalk/?p=727#comment-21 **THIS IS A COMMENT THAT WAS POSTED BY DR. CINA CRISARA ON THE POSTEROUS VERSION OF THIS SITE** It thrills me, David, that you remember that wonderful performance of the Mahler 8. I did prepare the chorus, and sang the performance as well- what a weekend! It was amazing, and I have not heard that piece since. do you remember Bruce Hangen holding up the score during the many ovations? What a send-off that was for him. And the Magnificat was a great project too- great piece, and I hope that you have had contact with that piece again. I remember premiering a Christmas piece that you wrote with the Chamber Singers. You had literally just started to do choral compositions. I am a fulltime Director of Music at Saint John's United Methodist Church in Austin TX, and would be happy to see what you have done chorally- I have a big choir (50), a select choir (24) and a women's chorus (20). We do all styles. Happy to see that you are doing well- please let me see a sampling of your work- it would be fun to do something of yours! All the best, David, Cina **THIS IS A COMMENT THAT WAS POSTED BY DR. CINA CRISARA ON THE POSTEROUS VERSION OF THIS SITE**
