    Posted: 08 Apr 2010 at 4:54pm

On PA I have settled into a pattern of roughly 500 word reviews that have some bit of detail, and slowly I've revised old ones.

Here there are probably hundreds of albums I could review, especially if I didn't go into quite as much depth. Would it be more helpful to do shorter, say 200 word reviews to help populate the site, and then revise later? Right now I don't think we have that option.
 
Thoughts, especially from the higher ups?

Jay, it is possible to edit the review by clicking on the left-hand side of the screen ('Edit Review'). I don't know if every member has this option, but I definitely have, and I am sure you have too. This means you can start with writing shorter reviews in order to increase their number on the site, and later - when you have the time and the inclination - expand them as much as you like.

There are 2 ways to access the Edit review page.
  1. Go in your MMA profile (My Profile link in the Member Zone, left sidebar menu) and click on the edit icon next to the review you want to edit.
  2. Go in the permanent page of one of your reviews following the Permanent link displayed in the footer of each review. In the review page, there will be a Edit Review link in the Member Zone, left sidebar menu.
I know I repeated quite a lot that the Member Zone appears in the left sidebar menu (when logged on)... it's just in case newbies read this post Embarrassed

You all may get sick of me on the front page for a little while then.

I was just reading your review of Pornograffitti and, my God, you have a lot to say (not that that is a bad thing).
 
Oh, and Nuno's tone is absolutely massive!  I especially like Lil' Jack Horny.

That one is a little scattered, I'll work on it later. I'll try to keep to the point on the upcoming reviews.
