YES!  Sorry, I didn't see this sooner.   

You could absolutely create your own google site to host the songs if you'd like.  I created one as there are a few members here that were flustered that their own original songs wouldn't render properly when posted in chopro in the forums.  As you're still pretty new to Chordie and not known to me personally, plus I have no clue how many you want to upload, I'm not sure about just giving you access to upload to my own google site, but it's not too tricky to create one of your own!

You can use the Chordie Chordpro Renderer for formatting/printing.  Create your own website and store the files in a folder that is not private.  A good free way to do this is - as said previously - with google sites.  Then, just try this syntax (type it into the web address of the browser):

http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/my_server.com/my_directory/my_file.chopro

...just replace the my_server.com/my_directory/my_file.chopro with the correct address of your website and the specific file location and file name!  I highly suggest renaming those txt files to chopro also.  I believe there's some more info about that on my resource page (use the link below).

Here's my very basic google site I've set up that you're welcome to view as an example: https://sites.google.com/site/chordiesongwriters/home
You don't need much, just a place to put the files online, then you can use Chordie to render the files and once done, you can even add them to your Chordie.com songbook and use the transpose and print features of Chordie!

Here's an example of a link rendered in chordie and the song is hosted on that mini-site:  http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/sites … yes.chopro

If you have additional questions on how to do this, please feel free to drop me an email.  I'll try to walk you through it as painlessly as possible! 

The only issue left is - the indexing of songs.  I don't believe that the admin indexes originals, so your songs will not likely make it to the public Chordie search making it easy for all the people of the world to search them on Chordie (but they will be able to see, play and enjoy them if you find another way to use the links).  You can view more information about that in the stickies in this section and Resource page links above.

Ken, it's really awesome that you do all this.  It sure does sound like a TON of fun, and it's awesome for the community.  IF there are any recordings that you get hold of, or are linked to online, you know we'd ALL love to watch and hear a little!  OH - and congrats on the PA, and a good overdue visit with a good friend.  That's the stuff of life!

I listened to these, and commented over where they're located.  Very well done, guys.  I like that both of these songs - because they are originals here and haven't been covered millions of times or heavily recorded - are so versatile.  They are still so easily open to various interpretations, and at the end of the day, I believe THAT is what this section of the forums is supposed to be about.  Sharing your own version of a song, not just covering it like everyone else already has.  A good smile for my morning.  Thank you!

NG days are so exciting!  I'm happy for you, and hope it's all you wish it to be!  Can't wait for photos!  If you have any issues, feel free to ask for more help.  If your phone is "smart" at all, you should be able to simply email them to yourself as well.

dino48:  I played winter wonderlad.  :-) :-)
unclejoesband:  I've been working on Father Christmas off and on since it was selected. It's taking a lot more work than I thought it would.

---- While quite a few folks said they were trying these songs out, we have yet to get any links to recordings.  Hopefully someone will give one or both of these a shot and share!  ---

TF, that all sounds like some pretty good stuff to look forward to in '17!  Hmm... me...  um,

1.  I plan to make the work/homeschooling juggle less of a juggle
2. I've gotten word that I MAY possibly be in line to get that promotion I've been looking at for a while.  This of course goes back to #1 - I want it, I need it, I desire it, but I need to ensure that I don't create more problems in the work/homeschooling juggle
3. Over the years, when I've been reallllly happy, I tend to gain weight.  When miserable I tend to lose weight.  I've been quite happy the past few years, and worked my BUTT off while happy and managed to lose quite a few pounds last year.  So, I'd like to continue that trend of being happy and continuing to lose weight. 

I know... it's JANUARY already!  Since everyone had a busy schedule the last few weeks, I'll leave this open another day or two for any last minute suggestions.  We'll shut this down and pick some songs soooooon!  So, if you've got a suggestion - get it in before it's closed!

Thanks again to the rest of ya that popped on to wish me a happy day! I did see these late at night, but was in no shape to be typing on my phone at that time.  LOL!  We had a wonderful evening.  Jim bought me a beautiful necklace and earrings, made that late breakfast for me (I'm not into early breakfast), the girls made a cake, then Jim and I watched morons gambling their money away while sipping some drinks and chatting with a family member we ran into.  We had a wonderful dinner, my brother and father showed as a surprise.  Then we went out dancing!  Jim's not much into dancing, or the music we were dancing to, but we had a blast anyway.  The drinks may have assisted with that!  Ha ha!  We spent the night at a hotel, so I was able to get away from home which is also work.    It was really a wonderful birthday celebration.  It was also the first time I ever had someone actually partying it up with me.  Of course, the last time I attempted to "party it up" for my birthday I was hitting 21 (drinking age here).  But, it was nice to have my day be celebrated as a little more important than the holiday that follows it for a change.  I'm content now.

I do have to say though, while thinking of all this... how Bill's birthday was yesterday (the 31st).  HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BILL!  I hope you saw my note on Facebook.  Bill, have you ever been able to JUST celebrate your birthday without the holiday taking over?  I hope you had a nice little celebration with Dondra.  I was thinking of you before I dozed off trying to recuperate from my celebration.  I didn't make it to any New Year's celebrations at all, not even at home with the kids, as I fell asleep.  I'm kind of glad though, because it means my birthday parting was successful (or it just proves I'm really old now since I can't party two days in a row ha)! 

I wish everyone a happy new year!

Thanks everyone!    I don't know about being the "favorite", but I think they like me ok.  LOL!  There's a commotion going on in the kitchen right now, so I'll have to cut this short.  It sounds like breakfast is on the way.
