We’ve got some new happenings here at the217, so here they are:
We’ve added a local artist index, with a list of local bands from the Champaign-Urbana area and information about them. You can find their bios, discographies, contact info, photos, and more! If you’re in a local band and you’d like to be in the local artist index, please email me at producer@the217.com and I will add you to the index.
Our calendar search function is up and working! If you’ve tried to search the calendar for the last few days and it hasn’t been working, we’re sorry — hopefully you found what you were looking for. However, it’s working again, so head on over to the calendar and search by date, venue, title, and more.
Keep out on the lookout for:
New photo galleries coming soon! We’ll have a module in the sections where you can view photo galleries better than ever, and I’ll let you know when that happens. Expect a lot of photos from the summer.
New bloggers:
Liam on “With Tongue“: A blog about LGBT lifestyles, issues, and more. He’s been sparking a lot of debate and conversation lately, so head on over there and join the conversation.
We’ll be getting many more bloggers soon, so keep your eye out for more blogs on LGBT, music, and summer life in Urbana, which will be written by Sarah Clemmons, a current WPGU staff member and a pretty rockin chick.
That’s all! Stay tuned for more updates!
