OMG, it's December!!!!!! Let's make some "pages"

Whoa...time flies when you're having fun. Or as one frog said to another "Time's sure fun when you're having flies" Anyway, there's a whole bunch o' stuff we need to get to today, so let's get it done, OK?


OK, first things first, today's assignment, THAT WHICH MUST BE DONE.

As you know, I try to make all my classes as practical as possible. I also try to give you opportunities which you can make use of long after the class is over. I also try to go around any difficulties we come up against. You may have noticed that we have had some technical difficulties getting some of our shows to play. Also, we STILL do not have the ability to "stream" these shows, meaning they start playing as soon as you click on them. I would like to start fixing that. Here's what I want you to do:

1) do a Google search for "free online radio" This will bring up a startlingly HUGE number of hits. Apparently, there are a lot of people doing broadcasting out there online.

2) Pick out at least eight of these sites to investigate. Make sure you record somewhere the name of each site, plus the website address. You can do this in WORD for the time being, but whatever you do, DON'T put it in a group posting; each of you is going to make a "PAGE" NOTE: when putting the website address in to your "page", please make sure that it is a "live link", something that a person can click on and it brings them to that website.
(I will demonstrate how to do this.)

3) Your sites must include at least two different "genres", meaning they play at least two different kinds of broadcast. I haven't looked at them all, not by a long shot, so I don't know everything that's out there. See if you can find stations out there that do the stuff you've been doing, whether its sports, hard rock, gossip and celeb stuff, gaming, politics, etc etc.

4) For each one of these stations, list at least two things they do that you wish we could do, if it were possible. Make each listing in the form of a complete sentence.

Please make all this information available in a page named after yourself, plus the phrase
"What's Out There - Part One"

That oughtta do it for today. Cheers!
