IFC Covers New York Film Festival on blogTV - Starts Friday!

Our favorite movie channel, IFC will be broadcasting a daily LIVE show with Q&A, covering The New York Film Festival, on blogTV!

Get your questions ready because this year's festival opens up with Wes Anderson's newest film, The Darjeeling Limited, which stars Owen Wilson (keep your cheap suicide shots to yourself), Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. Not convinced yet? For NYFF's 25th anniversary salute, they're screening Blade Runner: The Final Cut (yes!) and holding a science fiction discussion panel, "The Future Is Now," with oh so prominent film scholars.

The future IS now my friends, and the film fun starts on blogTV this Friday, Sept. 28, at 1PM EST.

Prepare to Participate!

P.S. - Embed their live show on your own website with this code:

Welcome to our new home page!

There's something different about blogTV…
No, we didn't get a haircut… We unveiled our new and improved home page!
Check out this new layout. It was created especially for promoting your talent and featuring your shows!

I want to point out a few things, so follow the tour below and learn how to get your show featured.

TOUR OF NEW HOMEPAGE:
1) You'll notice we have a big new FEATURED LIVE SHOWS box in the top left corner. This box will feature those of you who are talking, having fun and generally being entertaining. The smaller live show boxes to its side, display either still images or show logos until the show is actually entered.

2) Underneath the 'live shows' area you will see the NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS (which is perhaps how you found your way to this blog). This area will always attempt to keep you informed with blogTV news and well… announcements.

3) Now, here's the newest part of all. Center-Left we have this new section called UPCOMING. In this spot we will display all the upcoming shows which have a schedule. So, if you haven't made a schedule for your show yet, do it now (click "My Shows" then "Schedule," then "Add")!

4) Center-Right, check out the FEATURED SHOWS. This is our special promotion area which displays banner ads for blogTV shows we think deserve recognition.

5) Bottom-Left corner is dedicated to all the RECORDED SHOWS. This section is pretty much the same as before. We display the "Featured" recorded shows (which are hand picked by blogTV) and underneath is the appropriately named "Most Viewed" recorded shows; a section that was formerly named "Top Recorded."

6) The Bottom-Right corner is left for all of blogTV's NEW STUFF. When ever we add a new feature to our site or have an event we'd like to initiate, you may find it displayed in this section.

7) Bottom of the page: We encourage you to get into the forums and tell us what you're thinking! Let's DISCUSS! Have a question that you think may have already been asked by someone before? Or perhaps you need some general broadcasting tips? Check out LEARN MORE. Don't know anything about blogTV? Want to ask us a question directly? See ABOUT US.  

QUICK TIPS TO HELP GET YOUR SHOW FEATURED:
1) Start scheduling your shows.
2) Drop in a show logo.
3) Use your tools! (Subscribe to your friends' shows and they'll subscribe to yours.) 
4) Promote yourself! Tell all your friends in Myspace, Facebook and other social networks you belong to help bring more users to your shows.
