Add Yourself to the Ukulele Links Section

A link section of the site is probably long overdue. I was working on the assumption that I could just mention interesting sites as they came along. But I’ve been convinced of the benefit of something more permanent where people can go to find out what’s worth reading on the web.

With that in mind I’ve set up a Ukulele Links section. You can add your own site to it on an ‘I link to you, you link to me’ basis (which does mean you can’t add MySpace/Facebook and the like with their ‘You do know you’re leaving MySpace/Facebook, right? If you do you’ll probably get robbed and punched,’ pages).

Which is another reason why I did it. People were demanding a link in my sidebar in exchange for a link from their site. And I don’t just give those away. I’m really choosy about those links and their only really for people who inspired me to start the site and help be right from the beginning. So that part of the site should keep those people happy too.

There’s also a facility on there to submit articles. So if you’ve got something pressing to say – a gig or uke review, some playing tips – feel free to submit it. If it’s good stuff, I’ll certainly be linking to it from the main blog. You can also include a link or two to wherever you like with your article without the need for a link back.

The part of the site is brand new and is based on software I’ve never used before. So there’s a good chance you’ll come across a bug. If you do, I’d appreciate it if you let me know (in the comments or by contacting me). You can also suggest any categories you think should be there.

    Excellent addition to the site. I visit Ukulelehunt every day and look forward to browsing the new links section.

    A couple of suggestions:
    – is it possible to put the link back to Ukulelehunt home page from the new links section in a more prominent place, or put your banner at the top?
    – what do you think about having a “where to buy” category based on geographic location and/or online? I have a lot of bookmarks for Australian uke sellers and check their sites every now and then for new additions.

    I’m liking the prospect of doing much of my uke browsing from the one site.

    thanks!

    +one: Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve added a where to buy category. I’ll get on the other one once I pluck up the courage to dive into the coding.
