Web Pages

Hi all, hope everything is well.

Here is some info with regard to the official radio website;

The website is making positive progress and I'm hoping to have the basic version up within the next few weeks, although it won't be the finished article. Anyway due to the nature of the backend system for now I have to maintain all of the show pages manually, which I'm happy to do as really it will just involve copying and pasting; it will be more time than effort. I'll get on to updating later on though.

CREATING SHOW PAGES

Firstly, if you want a show page on the website (as opposed to just a standard one with show name and times and very little else), I will need you to send me the following information.

Show Name:
Show Time:
Presenter Names:
Producer Name:
Show Description: - This can be as long as you want, although I'd reccommend around 150-250 words max to keep it succinct.
Website Address: (if applicable)
Facebook Group Address: (if applicable)
Desired URL: (i.e. www.xpressradio.co.uk/your-show-name can be all one word or whatever you want, unless its already taken obviously. I can't guarentee this)
A picture or poster for your show:

Also if you are a specialist show if you could send me some names of artists/genres/tracks/whatever that you'll be playing to give people an idea of what they're listening to that would be great.

Please send all this information to web@xpressradio.co.uk with the email title "Show Info: (insert your show name here)"

UPDATING SHOW PAGES

In the short term only I can change your show pages - this is something I'm looking to change in the long term, however for now we'll just have to make do. Every tuesday I come up to xpress and do a few hours of work, so basically if you want your page to be updated or changed please send the changes you want me to make to web@xpressradio.co.uk and I might be able to do it if I have some free time, if not it will definitely be done on tuesdays.

PODCASTS

I am currently working on a system for uploading podcasts and you'll be getting more info about this nearer the time.

Cheers
