Yes, the [login to view URL] clones are everywhere and this would be for -- in essence -- the typical photo rating script, except users won't be rating graphic images at all, only words. Original song lyrics actually.
The user registers and has five fields on the form to fill out.
-- Song Title
-- Writing Credits
-- Song Type (Love, Life, Misery, Poetry)
-- The Lyrics
-- Link to hear the song (optional)
-- Link to buy the song or donate through PayPal (optional)
The links to hear and buy the songs are NOT part of the project. The user will simply provide a link to another site -- Amazon, CDBaby, Ampcast, etc. -- for the viewer to go if interested.
Unlike a photo rating script those making submissions are likely to make more than one submission. I'd prefer if each registered account can then create as many different lyric entries as they would like (for their own admin and editing purposes) but I'd settle for the user having to create a new account for each lyric entry if necessary (indicate as such in PMB).
What the site visitor sees?
-- Just like the photo rating sites, a random submission appears on the home page with a 1-10 ratings grid. A user can just click on the number and it will move on to another random lyric -- or there is an option to add a short review to go along with the rating.
-- Also on the main page is the option to view Top 10 rated lyrics (after, say 10 ratings) and the 10 Most Recent submissions. Instead of the Boy-Girl photo ratings, someone could sort the list by lyrical category: Love, Life, Misery, Poetry.
-- A message board forum for all.
The design aspect will be pretty simple as it's all mostly coming from the script. Just a clean design with a simple logo and space for me to run a banner ad on every page.
That's pretty much it. Oh each page would have a link to e-mail a lyric page to a friend or for bookmarking purposes (just like the photo sites).
Thanks for taking the time to read, and hopefully bid, on this project.
I realize that the photo rating scripts are plenty. It should be an easy job for someone who is able to just tweak the parameters for written text and a few extra fields.
I had originally listed this project over the summer and got some great responses but the programmer I chose never completed the project. So I have simplified the site. So, bid and PMB -- I'll respond right away.
