About Us
| Vegas |
 is an Editor at Preppermint and the brand new mother of a brand new baby Drew. Vegas started off as a stand-up comic in New York City, wowing crowds and performing on HBO. Sick of standing, she took a swing at sitting in front of a radio mic and began instantly blowing up ratings. In her last gig, she more than doubled the ratings - from a 9.5 to a 21.0 Males 25-49 in her first book! She is also on the verge of achieving her dream of becoming a Roller Derby Girl.

| Amber Miller |
 is Senior Editor and Renegade of Funk at Preppermint. Amber got started off in radio as most do, driving around a van and slinging T-shirts. After locking herself out of said van, she was tagged as management material and promoted to Morning Show Producer in Detroit. From there it was just short steps to Traffic Chick and then Morning Show Chick. She has also been Midday Girl and Night Girl. She can work and work it at any time of day. She currently writes, edits and submits material for Preppermint and works at G-105 in Raleigh to keep her mad skills fresh.

Getting It To Your WebsiteThe Net Untangled is all about making radio websites fresh and current, so just pointing out a cool site wouldn't be quite enough to write a column about. What really sets YES over the top is that it provides radio stations with a real-time banner displaying what songs are now playing for free. You've probably seen it on a bunch of different station sites. It looks like this:
The best part is that its customizable and really simple to add to your site (if you've added the YES bar to sites in the past, it has gotten much simpler now). First, visit http://get.yes.com and create an account. Then, follow the three steps to generate the code you need. For this week - we're just going to look at the YES bar, so select that, a color you like and a banner width. Finally, click on the "Generate code" link after agreeing to the Terms of Service and you should get something like this:

Copy those lines into your webpage wherever you want it to appear and "Voila!" - you are done. The best part about the bar is you never have to think about it again to make sure it is up to date or anything like that. It just works and you didn't have to go to the GM and beg for money for the website budget - if you even have one (a website budget, that is). Next week, I'll take a look at the chat features YES has as well as some of the other advanced parts of the service, like the related YouTube videos - a feature launched just last week and proof that YES is still trying to make their product better and give more to their now over 100,000 users. As always, AllAccess has my “The Net Untangled Tip of the Day” each weekday and a column on Website Wednesdays. So check back and together we’ll get our internet presence focused on keeping radio strong in this world of increasing competition. Do you agree with me? Or am I full of hot air? If you have comments or any questions about radio websites – either general questions relating to the industry or the web or even specific (HTML, PHP, .NET, Javascript, etc.) questions, send me an email through http://Preppermint.net/contact . I’ll answer your question quickly and maybe even use it for a future column. |
