If you have one or more frontpage (adding your stuff, editing, corrections, map, etc), backpage (technical issues, newest WordPress CMS, HTML, CSS, newest PHP version, newest database/MySQL, forum, ads, SEO, SEM, SMO, SMM, Google Analytics and Bing Webmaster, etc), more of the or other social media (SoMe), then please help a lot. Please contact. I’m constantly looking for people who can contribute or collaborate in some way or other. You can contribute once, or regularly, it’s up to you. Initially, I want to have various contributions at truemetal.org/cirithungol, now I have expanded it even more.
Here are some ideas to contribute with:
Frontpage:
- Use the website! The easiest way to contribute is to use the forum and comment fields actively to engage more fans.
- Become a co-editor.
- Feed me with news. Tell me about any news so I can post them on the frontpage. If it’s just a small update, it will be posted in an appropriate page.
- Improve the website design.
- Correct or supply with any additional information to any part of this website.
- Feel free to correct the writing guides with American English (Ventura), official format, formatting (style guide, spelling, bad language, proper structure, heading h1-h6, punctuation and quotation (“, ‘, ´, `, ‘, ’, “, ”, «, »), standardized form, e.g., blockquote, quote, q, cite, signature, date, header, image, etc.), clearly it is reissue, rerelease, reprint, remaster, remix, rerecorded, special edition, anniversary edition, or other release, and so on. See the perfect article also. The date is the clear date with the formatting “D d M Y” (e.g., Tue 04 Feb 2010):
- Short date (“D d M Y”) – This is the short date than the full textual date with
l d F Y(Tuesday 04 February 2010) or other longer dates. - Weekday (“D”) – No confusion on the days of the week, e.g., one of the members mixed 04 Feb 2010 and it was on Monday (Mon 04 Feb 2010), but actually it was on Tuesday. And the classic 1970/71 confusion gig.
- Date (“d M Y”) – No confusion dates with y.m.d. (10.02.04), d.m.y (04.02.10), or m.d.y (02.04.10).
- Full year (“Y”) – No confusion with the 2 digits year (00s and 00s) or 4 digits year (1900s and 2000s).
- Short date (“D d M Y”) – This is the short date than the full textual date with
- Become a photo album moderator. Add pictures, sort the photos in the gallery, add captions, approve/delete user comments, etc.
- Conduct interviews with any of the band members or other prominent/related people, like roadies, producers, collaborators, friends, etc.
- Find logos/frontpages for the rest of the interviews.
- More info on the covers and the lyrics.
- Create a page for literature CU has got inspiration from. You can create the page in Word if you like, and I’ll copy it into the website.
- A page for bands CU has got inspiration from.
- A page for bands who has got inspiration from CU.
- A page for instruments, tab and sheet with pics and info about the instruments CU used.
- A page for studios and/or the record labels.
- A page for timeline/history of Cirith Falcon. You may get inspiration from Black Sabbath timeline. It isn’t done in an afternoon, but you don’t have to do the whole page at once.
- A page for their producing, programmed, engineering, remixer, etc.
- Add/edit pictures, especially on Elric and Conan, Moorcock, and so on.
- Watch out for new merch, new bootlegs, new cover songs, compilation albums or movies containing tunes from Cirith Ungol or related, new tribute videos, upcoming live shows with any former member or session musician, CU in the press, and any other stuff you may come across.
- On plugin WP Table Builder, there are three different items with one emoji (icon) each of them: “Michael Whelan 🎨 illustrator”, “Michael Moorcock ✏️ writer”, and “Cirith Ungol ⚔️ band”. Why can’t I have “illustrator” with emoji, but it works with “writer” and “band”? Have tried also with basic emoji. Or is it working for all three, why can’t I use a small emoji, the same as font? Only the bigger emoji?
- Nb: it temporarily works now with stylesheet:
<em>#wptb-table-id-30772 img.emoji {height: 15px;}</em>
- Nb: it temporarily works now with stylesheet:
- Share with barcode/QR 🖹, print 🖨️, copy link 🔗, etc.
- Dilemma of various SoMe and other links:
- Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads), 𝕏 (Twitter), Youtube, MeWe, Pinterest, Telegram, Mastodon, MeWe, Minds, Tiktok, Steemit wallet, cara.app, bsky.app, etc.
- Other pages: homepage, other page on Cirith Ungol Online, Wikipedia, Metal-Archives (link)/Encyclopaedia Metallum – The Metal Archives (title), Discogs, IMDb (movies), ISFDB/Isfdb/isfdb (science fiction), Amazon, eBay, other shops, etc.
- Dilemma with CPT posts (artists, bands, releases, editions, songs, venues, media). Some examples:
- Is the artist Sarah Kitteringham, band Smoulder and the video Cassette Cult Tape Reviews: Cirith Ungol the same post or two or three different posts?
- In the fanzine Live Wire and Slayer Mag have it only on the artist Jon “Metalion” Kristiansen now, but I could have the post Live Wire and maybe Slayer Mag instead or in addition to Jon Kristiansen.
- Does the newspaper have its own post, or is it only image with text? Is the fanzine Suck City one post, or many posts with its issues and dates?
- Is Prophecy and Falcon more important on having more posts on artists, releases, editions, songs, venues, and gigs, but Night Demon is less important? And what if Greg Lindstrom had quit Falcon now and they have a new lineup for their potential third album and no hint for the CU no matter what? On Prophecy, it doesn’t exist on the official website, but there is an official website for Night Demon. So will I copy-paste (duplicate) from the official page to this page, so all artists, releases, editions, songs, venues, and gigs on Night Demon? Will I duplicate also the side projects with Jarvis Leatherby and Armand John Anthony? And also Urban Soul tour with Vern Green? And what if the Falcon has the latest album, but new guitar and drummer instead and no Ungol, still adding the album, editions, songs and the band now?
- The band Mausoleum is related to CU, the band Vore is not related but the members are more or less the same, but on Mausoleum, there are no pics and more or less no text, so use Vore instead.
- The band Wicked Lester is related to the Prophecy band. The band Sykotik Sinfoney is not quite the same members, but on Wicked Lester there are no pics and more or less no text, so use Sykotik Sinfoney instead.
- Have all of the bands somehow related to CU, or not all, someone has many bands homage in the beginning?
- What is the point of adding the professional photograph with Bob Carey, Cliff Montgomery, Erika Wallberg, Florian Hille, and other photographers with Cirith Ungol?

Backpage and site issues:
- Graphic design: Maybe work with GIMP, Photoshop, or other graphics programs.
- Help with ads: Add relevant ads from Google ads, Meta ads, or other websites like MetalSucks, Loudwire, MetalInjection, etc.
- Web optimization: Help with the speed of the website, including optimizing images (perhaps using WebP) and working with the MySQL database and Hestia theme settings.
- Troubleshooting issues: Fix issues related to WordPress plugins, custom post types, RSS feed descriptions, and other technical glitches.
- Working on site structure: Assist with the technicalities of WordPress, ensuring it works smoothly.
Additional Contributions:
- Create and present statistics: Pie charts, statistics, data on live gigs, cover songs, and lyrics.
- Revive old mail lists: Help me bring back a mailing list from 2010 and update it.
- Use other band websites for inspiration: I could use websites like Bad Religion, Metallica, and Black Sabbath for additional ideas.
- Help with SoMe dilemmas: I am working on ways to embed social media content from 𝕏, Facebook, Instagram, etc., into the site without breaking the layout.
Even more faster and better mobile. Similar to Google AMP, Android Play Store app and News, Apple iPhone/iPad App Store and News, FB Instant Articles and other projects. Example:
Add Speedreader with metadata, author, readtime, show_original, etc. “Speedreader removes unnecessary elements from pages it recognizes as articles and displays them in a simplified format”.
