Members PRS777 Posted September 14, 2006 Members Posted September 14, 2006 Hey is there anyone who has tips or somethin on gettin known in a sense? I know its a long shot. I tried myspace, we get a lot of plays but its lame and its not the real deal. We play a lot of shows in phili, we have played at the troc which is a big venue, but is there some kind of way to be discovered through a lot of determination? Also, how do i get a picture next to my name? take it easy-dave

Try to get airplay on local stations/college stations/webcasts. Promote, promote, promote. Network, network, network.Basically, there are no shortcuts. If there were, we would all be famous and not spending time here, right? as to the picture next to your name...we call that an avatar, and you need to become a 'member' in order to put in an avatar

You're a Junior member. You won't be a member until you have 200 posts or so, or been around for at least a month, I don't know what the exact criteria is. When you do achieve member status, go to the top of the page and click on the button that says "user CP" . Then go to "edit options" and scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "avatars." Your picture has to be about 100 pixels max, so it helps if you have a photo editing program that you can resize your pic to the proper size, or you can get one off a free Avatar site.
