Tuesday December 9: We might have found our solution!

Greetings, radio broadcasters!

Before we get into anything else, I would like you to first of all go here:

http://www.geocities.com/radiothreewhps/

This is a webpage I cooked up on my own to see if it would be possible to display your radio shows after I have hosted them at this website:

http://www.divshare.com/

It seems that the first webpage works, and works very well because the second website seems to offer the ability to "stream" your radio shows that we have been seeking. BUT.....

Before we get too overwrought, I would like to try an experiment. I will be moving at top speed to revamp our stuff found on the school's website. In the meantime, I want EACH of you, as INDIVIDUALS, to set up your own accounts at www.divshare.com Once you have an account, I want you to upload some files -- 3 or 4 will do, as long as its stuff that you yourself have helped make during this class.

After that, you will need to post a discussion in our Google group. Name the Discussion after yourself, plus the word "divshare". Please include the exact website address for at least one of the files you have uploaded.

Here's how you do it:

A) go to http://www.divshare.com/

B) in the top right hand corner, you will see a form that asks for your first name, email address, and two places to enter a password. Please fill out the form then hit the SIGN UP button

C) On the next screen, you have to type in some random words; please do that correctly or you'll be here all day!

D) On the next page, look for the link in the top right corner that says "No thanks, continue to my account"

E) on the next page, notice that you will have to go to your email at some point to answer the email they just sent you and "confirm" your account. Either that, or they conclude that you're a bug-eyed alien robot from Neptune, and they delete your account

F) Still on this page, notice that there's a link which says "create new folder" do that, and name the folder after yourself

G) When you create this folder, notice that DivShare automatically puts you inside that folder. While you are there, click the Upload a new file button, and upload some files

H) Once these files are uploaded, you will notice that they have gotten some links attached to them. Those are the links you want to copy and paste into your Google discussion.

See how well you can get this to work. Good luck!

Cheers,
Mr. L
