A short lesson in HAH categories
A short lesson in HAH categories
So I just added a ton of new categories to the main section of the site. So I started paying more attention to how those categories where being used. I think some of you misunderstand them. Most of what is submitted on HAH will be some music style or the other. The reason for that is simple. This is a music site, so most will be links directly connected to some band, cd, or song. But what about an article about the RIAA being douchebags? It’s not a band, cd, or song, so it isn’t a musical style. You would not put that kind of article in a music style category. It is about the music industry instead.
I can’t think of a reason an article would fit in a musical style and the industry news category. Except in that extremely rare case that I can’t think of right now, no submission should be in both a musical style and industry news. It has to be one or the other.
Why is it important? Well, this site is not just about winning cool stuff, pushing your band, webzine, blog, label, etc. It is for people finding information. We want people to be able to find the information you people work so hard to hunt down and submit. This site is a tool for researching things about the music we love. Think of it as Google News for heavy music. So if we put stuff in the correct categories it will be a better resource.
This post should be taken as nothing more than a very casual guide to making this site a better resource for all. We don’t do power trips here. I need you people as much (or more) than you need me. So the users as a whole are the ruling class as far as I am concerned. So keep kicking ass! I’m just the guide here to serve you. Thanks for letting me do that.
