FBFT Best Practices

A few things to watch out for

• If you add a band, please add it to a city, decade and the appropriate letter of the alphabet. That'll help keep things organized.
• Please be consistent in both case and spelling! We want everything to link together nicely, so we need everything to be consistent.
• We don't care what your super special punk rock name is... please don't use it here. Again, we're trying to link as much together as we can, so please use real names or don't use 'em at all.
• If you have any questions about how to format pages, or you don't know what you're doing, don't hesitate to e-mail us. ryan@yahtzeen.com, phil@yahtzeen.com

Labels & Zines

We have decided that FM area labels will be represented within the FBFT. Zines will be left out for now, possibly included later or given their own space somewhere else.

Outside the family tree

What does this mean? Our original intent was for the FBFT to document the Fargo scene and it's related bands and members. The family tree currently considers Fargo-Moorhead along with the states of Minnesota and North Dakota to be included in the tree. Portland, OR is also fair game to be included.

For bands/projects outside the scope of the FBFT please provide an outbound link, for an example see the link to Anchorhead under Todd Holdman.

Phantom Bands

Originally bands that either had never played at least three shows were considered phantom bands and appropriately marked. The new FBFT covers this better since we have more space to expand further on the band so just be sure to mention it somewhere on their page.

Photos

You may add photos to the band pages. For the time being we ask that you please limit this to one image per page and keep the size as close to 320x240 (or 240x320) as you can to maintain a consistent look across the FBFT. These guidelines may change in the future after we've been able to properly gauge our storage and bandwidth needs.
