THE BASEMENT

Welcome to THE BASEMENT! The BASEMENT is the place for those who wish to post albums from their collections.

The RULES:
1. To post, use the Comment box of the BASEMENT. As much as possible, post blues albums only. Spam is not allowed. Posts which we deem incomplete or malicious will be removed.
2. Before posting, check our Labels section if the album has already been posted. If the links to a posted album have lapsed, then you may re-post the album here. Otherwise, your post will be removed and your effort will be wasted.
3. Tags should be complete (Track #, Artist, Album Title, Track Name).
4. Your post should have the following:

* Artist Name - Album Title / Year / Format (mp3, WMA, FLAC, Lossless, etc) / Bitrate / Album Art (if included). [note: Not a strict sequence; the fields are interchangeable]
* Download Link
* If you wish to include a review/notes, please do so. It would be thoughtful if you give credit to the source of the album you are posting but this is not mandatory.
* Your Name/Nick/AKA.

5. You may post as many albums as you wish per comment entry.
6. Check your post details one final time before posting.

Do not use the Cbox for posting your shares. You may however post a message in the Cbox announcing your posts here in the BASEMENT (examples: "Rare Muddy Waters in the Basement" or "Latest BB King in the Basement" or "5 fresh albums posted today in the Basement."). Your posts will remain for as long as the BASEMENT is active. The obvious advantage of posting here is that it will stay here as long as the BASEMENT is here versus posting in the Cbox where you'd be lucky if it doesn't fall off after a few days.

We prefer that you post your request here where the chances of it getting filled are much better than in the Cbox. If you wish to express your gratitude for a post, address it specifically to the poster and include the artist/album he posted.

Posting here in the BASEMENT does not give the album posting exclusivity. Any of us, at our discretion may post in our regular posting section our own copy/s of the album/s you posted.

THANK YOU for being an active member of the blues community.

Alright, dudes and dudettes, POST AWAY!

Notes:
1. We have not found a way to reverse the order of the comments. The few that we found from google searches were mostly for wordpress or were for blogger blogs that were coded somewhat differently. We understand that as your posts increase, it will eventually be a pain (maybe it is already) to scroll all the way down just to see the latest entries. If you come across a site where they show a way to reverse the order of comment entries, please let us know. Or a blogger blog whose comments are in reverse order already...
2. And here's another situation that will eventually be an issue (maybe it is already). On AC's main posting area, posts are easily labelled. In comments, there is no such feature so that unless you check all the entries, a tedious activity, there's no easy way to find out if what you are about to post has already been posted by another poster.
