The new look of Project Amarillo is in the works. The website has so many separate areas with their own setup, so currently the entire website is in a bit of chaos.

The comments on the left side are gone.. Now there are links on the left menu to the calendar for today's and tomorrow's events, and for category view of events! The login for registered members has moved to the top of the page. Other pages are simple without much of a menu, have the old logo. Thanks for your patience during the the current changes and the new Project Amarillo will be sitewide within days!

7.14 - New links for viewing your profile and the members list for registered members has been added.
     The Contact page now has two choices, you can send comments to us, or send in calendar submissions if you are not registered.
     More pages have changed to the new layout.
     The Bands page has been incorporated into the main site finally. We are changing the bands and artists area of the website soon.

Project Amarillo had a quiet beginning on July 4th, 2005. Since then there have have been many changes, and lot of ups and downs.

Next week, the website will take on a new look and feel. Some things have already moved and a few have gone away. I am taking on a little different direction with the website again, or maybe returning to Project Amarillo's roots. The blog/article look of the site will be removed from the front page, but the posts will remain in the archives section of the website. The old forum has lost it's popularity and will take a backseat role in the new site as well. The main focus will be promoting local concerts and events, and more information about the local bands. The venues will also get an update with more information for the bands, such as booking information, music genre, and size. The new bands and venue areas will not be immediately, but will be added to Project Amarillo in the coming weeks.

With these changes, I will be looking for information and communication with local bands and artists, and the bars and venues so that I can get new photos and current info to add to the new pages. If you are interested and are a local musician or work at a local venue, please use the "contact" link at the top of the page and I will get in touch will you soon. Your participation and help is appreciated and always welcome.

Due to a few comments about it and several emails, we have changed the layout of the comments. Previously they had the newest at the top, and new replies just added to the end. Now that is reversed, showing the newest at the bottom. Also, now when you reply to a specific comment, it will be added to that comment and indented or threaded, so it is shown as a reply to the specific comment and not just a new one at the bottom.

A new lost password link was turned on today, because we had someone out there trying to bypass the security at Project Amarillo using the lost password feature of the login. Now in order to have a forgotten password reset you will need to know your username and email , that are listed on your account with Project Amarillo, not just the username.

They were not able to get into any accounts, but they did use the lost password link on most of the registered members usernames. This caused a password reset email to be sent to most of the registered members. If you can not log into your account, and did not receive this email, please use the forgot login link or contact us via the contact page so that we can get your password reset and let you log into your account again.

New things are in the works here at Project Amarillo. The site's current look has been met with good and bad response. The logo was one of the biggest bads mentioned, so we will be going back to the previous logo and some of the look and layout of the will be updated to match.

Also, the long neglected band page is getting an overhaul. It was brought over from before the current programming, and isn't incorporated into the rest of the site. 

A new comments component was added at Project Amarillo today. The old comments system was buggy and caused errors for many, so it was replaced with something new. 

For registered members, you can log in and post you comments with no hassles. For guests, you will are required to enter a name and email and a captcha field in order to add a new comment.

 If you are having any problems, please let us know.

Starting this evening, we will begin working some changes that will be coming to ProjectAmarillo.com. You will not see most of the changes yet, but some may involve moving things around a bit or might affect the current site. So if things look a little strange or there are errors, they will be corrected as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience and look forward to a different Project Amarillo in the near future.

The comments area has been changed to a different look.
When you view the comments under the stories and articles, there is a "Write Comment" bar and a "+ Comments" bar.

To view the comments, just click the "+" on the Comments bar to open up the comments. The comments now give a lot more information. If a registered member adds a comment, their name is linked to their profile page. Also if they have an avatar associated with their profile, it will display next to thier comments. If they enter their website url it will also display next to their name. You can now reply to comments, and quote the comments. There is now a voting feature, so you can click the thumbs up or thumbs down to give your opinion of the comment.

Sorry for the delay. Those wishing to add events and venues can do so again. There were a few bugs in the updates to the programming, that are now fixed and working fine.

Those wishing to submit their live music, events, and venues to the calendar will need to register first. Once registered you can add new events and venues, and also add links and new articles / stories to Project Amarillo!!
