Hey guys,

here I will post updates which come in the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. So here are the current updates :

1. Guitar Secrets - I have renamed the Guitar Techniques into this new name and there will some amazing stuff coming in the very near future with this new title.

2. SEO Improvment - I did not do so much for Google optimization for this website here. But I started with it as a first step which a much easier navigation for you guys. BTW - it you run a website - any link to the HPCrazy Guitar Academy is much apprechiated.

3. Livestreaming - The livestreaming somehow is still in the beta phase - I have change the software now to OBS and I will be working it out that announced livestreams will in fact show up there where they are announced. This seems to be a much bigger problem then I thought.

Since most of the members are here because of the Guitar Academy I have reordered the website a bit that the Guitar Academy comes first.

Now I reordered even more and I changed the name to the current situation here now.

It new :

HPCrazy Guitar Academy & Music

Now here is the latest news - the member status updates now appear here directly in the Guitar Students Club. You can post and reply to any of the status here.

In general the Guitar Students Club is now meant for you guys that you can start to communicate with eachothers.

Hey guys - if you love the HPCrazy Guitar Academy - please write me a review if you haven't done it before.

 

With the recent update comes now the possibility to switch from light design to dark design.

Here is how it looks :

if you want to change to dark design scroll down to the buttom of the bage and there you find the " theme " selection. If you don't like it you can switch back to light design.

The complete Redeign of this page is now completed. Here are all new features :

1. HPCrazy Guitar Academy - comes now with new pics, new order and additional search tags.

2.Guitar Students Club - all status updates which are made are now featured on the top of the page when you enter the guitar students club. This is an easier way to diplay your thoughts about any topic to the small community here.

3. Light & Dark Theme - when you scroll down the page you find the button " Theme " - there you can selecet between 2 light themes and a dark theme. Sometimes when you switch between different themes you get an error message. Then just try once more then it works.

4. Foto's & Pics - Most of the foto's and pics around HPCrazy.com and the HPCrazy Guitar academy have been exchanged now to other foto's and pics.

Updated Search Tags in the Music Theory and Musical Exercises department :

Hey guys,

I ran into a problem with my newsletter - my hosting provider does not accept so many emails sent by the newsletter system here. So I will stop the newsletter my email, but you can keep yourself updated here by just showing up here from time to time - and I still will write a newsletter which will be posted in the newsletter section.

The different files in the sections of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy Files are now displayed as grids. Looks way cooler.

I have been thinking for quite a while about the newsletter since it will not come as a free additional feature for me but I have decided to keep up the newsletter to give you guys some highlighted information on a monthly basis like before. If you want to get the newsletter please subscribe to it if you haven't till now and if you want to stop it go to your profile and there you can deactive the newsletter.

I continued today with some SEO optimization - currently the academy gets most traffic from YouTube or recurring members. The goal is to get more traffic from organic search on google. Thanks to the help of https://www.medienkonzept.de I know what to do. It's quite a task and beside high quality content it's also important to know the technical requirements for a dynamic website such as this one here.

If you own a website and you have the ability to add a backlink to the acaemy to your website you can help the community with that - or you can just add the link to an other guitar community.

Thanks for your help in forward.

 

 

I have updated the Site Guidelines today.

https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/guidelines/

The biggest change is now on the issue if a member has not canceled an automatic subscriptions and claims to get a refund. I have had quite a few cases in the past weeks - and there is nothing I can do because if you select the automatic renewal on PayPal during your premium membership upgrade then this will be done in your paypal account and you have to cancel it yourself. The automatic renewal is set on " OFF " by default.

Here you can read all nessessary information :

 

Today the HPCrazy Guitar Academy went through a major re-ordering process. After having the studio optimize only for online teaching and online students - everything got reordered that live - students also feel welcome and very comfortable there.

Here you can see how it looks like now.

 

In the past 2 weeks there was a lot of maintenance works on the server going on. There were a few problems which we ran into due to the bigger amount of data and files and the number of users but now all should be fine again.

It's possible that there were a few short dropouts of this website in this timeframe. So if you ran into a problem due to that please contact me.

iPhone notifications, web app and more

 

The longest awaited iPhone feature is almost here, native iOS notifications, and we couldn't wait to ensure it is enabled for your Invision Community.

Invision Community 4.7.9 is iPhone push notification ready for when Apple release their latest iOS update later this month. This means you'll finally get notifications on your phone, even when you do not have your browser open, to alert you of new content on followed items and more. A feature Android owners have enjoyed for a while.

With notifications, you can have an authentic native app experience with built-in Invision Community features such as the manifest editor.

The manifest editor allows you to edit your theme icons, colours and URL for when your members add your community to their phone's homepage. This manifest file helps mobile devices understand how to display your community site when launched from the home screen.

Your members can add your community to their home screen with the share button. Once it has been added, it looks and feels like a native app downloaded from the App Store.

With Apple finally allowing native notifications and Invision Community's mobile-ready UI coupled with the manifest editor, you can have a real app experience without needing a mobile app.

We intend to bring more functionality and ease of use to mobile devices over the coming releases.

We hope you're looking forward to iOS native push notifications as much as we are!

 

Here's now a cool new feature for iPhone users - also works on Android

It creates a home button on your mobile just like an app !

Reordered the Menu now - now all important links are diplayed there.

Tested the new Home Button feature on android. The popup comes automatically and then it adds a homebutton to your device - just like an app. It's awsome.

As it seems - PDF downloads in Firefox don't work properly - at least on my machine. Please let me know if you have any problems with file downloads. In Chrome there is no problem with the downloads.

There are currently problems with the PayPal gateway when you want to order more then 1 product from the store. The support is working on the problem and it will be fixed approx. the beginning of next week.

I reordered the navigation a bit - now all departments are visible at once.

Reordered the navigation again - now all important parts of the site are easy to find in the navigation - I also changed the donation page now :

There is a new feature available on this website.

If you feel like you want to leave this website and you want your account and all your data deleted then you can request this. Please be aware, that I have to do all this manualy and it takes me a few minutes of my precious time so only choose this option if you really mean it.

Privacy is an important issue for me on this website. That's why I have choosen to keep any automatic registration with either an existing Facebook, Twitter or Google account deactivated. I don't really use your personal data. Only for the monthly newsletter and if you need support on an issue with your account - then I check if needed your personal data.

But anyway if you want to delete your account or get your personal data you can do that on this link here :
