With your thoughts in mind, we've unveiled a set of new features now available for all TuneCore widgets. To ensure continuity, the changes you make to your widget will automatically update wherever your widget is live. Updates include:
Band Photo: You can now upload a band photo directly to your widget page, it will display when a song has not yet been selected.
Photo Gallery: Create and host a photo gallery in your widget by linking directly to a Flickr account.
Don't have a Flickr account? Visit http://www.flickr.com to set one up.
In the "My Photo Gallery" section, enter your Flickr user name OR a photo set ID. Photo set ID is essentially a photo album ID from Flickr. You can grab the photo set ID directly from the URL of your photo page. For example if my URL was:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/frego/sets/72157616781787756/
My photo set ID would be 72157616781787756
Videos: Share your YouTube videos (electronic press kits, live performances, etc.) inside your widget!
Don't have a YouTube account? Visit http://www.youtube.com to set one up.
In the "My Videos" section, enter your YouTube username. It will pull ALL VIDEOS from that account. For this reason, if you have a YouTube account that features several videos unrelated to your music, you may want to create a dedicated band YouTube account.
Tour Dates: Keep fans up to date with a list of upcoming performances. At this time you can only add future tour dates. To add tour dates, log into TuneCore then click http://www.tunecore.com/widgets
Donations: Raising money for a tour or a new record? Fans can now donate to your cause directly through the TuneCore widget to your Premier PayPal Account (learn how to set up your Premier PayPal Account here: http://www.tunecore.com/widgets/paypal.html)
