  • Redesign Coming

    Very shortly we will be rolling out a redesigned layout that focuses on simplicity, ease of use, and a clean presentation. We are making a deliberate effort to stay out of the way and let the artist’s personality shine through.

    But it is always a balance. MySpace gave artists a great deal of control over their page layouts, but the number one complaint I hear over and over from listeners and artists is that MySpace is at best inconsistent and at worst, junky.

    Contrast with Facebook, which I think forces artists into too narrow of a box. Facebook pages are devoid of personality or visual impact, which I believe is crucially important in presenting yourself and your art.

    Today, we automatically import an artist’s Twitter background image and Twitter/Facebook profile pic when they log into bln.kr.

    As we build out our premium feature set, we are interested in more ways to provide a professional, consistent way to customize bln.kr.

    What customizing options would you like to see from us?
