To add new pages dedicated to instruments, see one of Chads guitars [[Gibson ES-335 (Chad: Cherry Red)]] for example, edit the page to view the text and code so you can apply the same layout to your new page.
 +
 +
 +
=====Songs and Songbox info panels=====
 +
See the following page- [[Dark Mavis (Song)]] for examples on how to lay out a page for a song, and for how to use a songbox.  There are also values which expand when you 'mouseover' that section, v useful to see the code behind this to render a useful info panel.  You do not need to add categories to the bottom of the page as the songbox info panel when filled in accordingly will automatically add the relevant categories.
 +
 +
See the page [[Help:Templates/Songbox]] for help on what other values you can add
 +
 +
 +
=====Discographies=====
 +
 +
There is now a discography info box and navigation panel which can be used for Albums, EPs, Singles and Demos.  See [[Attack of the Grey Lantern (Album)]] for an example of how the album information is displayed and how there is an Album navigator.

EPs, Singles and Demos all need working on. 
 +
 +
small Images are required for all singles linked.
 +
 +
 +
 +
=====Gig Sections=====

New gig information and gig navigation boxes have been added - see [[Gig:The Lomax, Liverpool, 17th August 1995]] to see how the pages are built.  the gigs in 1995 and 1996 have info and are linked, the other gazillion pages that follow afterwards need editing to make all the gigs flow.
 +
 +
* Colors to be changed & info navigation box styling - easy to do: one change with CSS template styling
 +
 +
Help:Templates/Gigbox - adjust template to remove Support acts if the band were a support act themselves i.e. supported
