Accounts on KelownaGigs are pretty flexible; you can create one with (pretty much) whatever username you desire. The intent however, is that your account represents you as a person (think Facebook, not MySpace). Artist listings for both individuals and groups are separate from your user account (again, think of Facebook Pages, not MySpace artist accounts).

In order to make this more sensible, I have implemented a new stage of permission control. Previously, only the creator of an artist or venue listing was able to edit that listing. As of about an hour ago, there is a new field when editing either type of profile to list other users who should be granted access to edit the same profile. This way you can create a personal account for yourself, and then add your band members or staff's accounts to your band or venue's profile.

As well, to make finding your own content easier there is a new "My Content" link in the left menu once you login. This will list any content you have access to edit, either from creating it or being granted access by someone else.

Events are an important remaining issue. Currently they are still only editable by their creator (which is most often me). Should you have any updates to an event's information, please comment on the event and I will update the information when I am notified of your comment. In the future you should be able to edit any events that your band or venue are associated with automatically, and I'll post another news item when that is available.

As always, if you have any feedback about the site send a message through the Contact Form. I also appreciate your feedback through the available surveys.
