Welcome to the Mudcat, daks. I see that some of your questions about the Mudcat need to be answered. I am not sure baout all of it, but will try to help.

For chords for the songs, you can start a thread requesting lyrics AND CHORDS and someone is bound to post them for you. But, before you do that, try going to the Quick Links,
click on the pull-down menu,
choose Forum Search and click on Go
then in the Subject box, type in the name of the song of just one keyword, then click on Go.

This should bring up previous threads which may have the information you are looking for.

For entering your own compositions or any other song for that matter, there are several things you can do:

1) start a new thread and use the prefix of LYRICS ADD, or whatever is appropriate, followed by your song title;

2) send it by email directly to Dick or Susan at the Digital Tradition, aka DigiTrad, (see Contact Us on the menu bar up top;)

3) or, you can send it to Áine, Keeper of the Mudcat Songbook, which contains only songs written by Mudcatters.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to ask if you run into a problem. Someone on here usually knows the answer to almost any questions.

I look forward to seeing some of your work, daks.

Ciao,
