Black Flag is an American hardcore punk formed in Hermosa Beach, California. The band was established by Greg Ginn, the guitarist, primary song writer, and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes in the band. Black Flag's sound mixes the raw simplicity of the Ramones with atonal guitar solos and frequent tempo shifts. The lyrics were written mostly by Ginn, and like other punk rock bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Black Flag voiced an anti-authoritarian and non-conformist message. These themes were explored further when Henry Rollins joined the band as lead singer in 1981. Most of the band's material was released on Ginn's independent label, SST Records.

Anyway, if you are still interested in writing for Bridgetown Sound I would be happy to have you aboard. Here you will find the instructions for our blogger tutorial. Once you complete the tutorial I will give you access to our staff email and our facebook account as well as a writer signature and you'll be all ready to go.

Hi Patrick, 

Knowing how to post correctly is just as important as the writing. No one wants to read some sloppy looking show review. Plus some of you have never used (or are not familiar with) blogger.  Pictures need to resized, media widgets needed to be added, and there is a tiny bit of HTML you'll need to learn. But don't let the word HTML scare you away, you won't be writing any code here. It will be more like changing the existing code by replacing a resolution number or deleting a word. Very very very easy stuff.  This 3 part tutorial is super easy and it shouldn't take you more than 30 mins to complete. If you have any questions or start to get flustered, just stop and email me. I'll help you. Once you complete the 3 part tutorial I'll give you the real password/username to the blog and you'll be ready for your first assignment.
