If you get a page or section of station site, it may be harder to
maintain and seem daunting to fill, but keep at it every day. You’ll
look back in a few months and you’ll see mounds of content. The added
bonus of a morning show running their own section of the station site
is that when management asks for your passwords so they can “study how
you’ve set things up”, you know you’re about to be fired (I’ve been
there too.).
The morning show is the most important part of your station’s day –
they should get the same prominence on your website. If you’re a
morning show and that isn’t happening, take matters into your own
hands. And if you plan on being in radio for any period of time,
register your domain name now – you can always take it with you no
matter where you end up – but if someone else registers it first,
you’re out of luck.
As always, AllAccess has my “The Net Untangled Tip of the Day” each
weekday and a column on Website Wednesdays. Next week, we’ll take a
look at the building blocks of websites - links. So check back and
together we’ll get our websites focused on keeping radio strong in this
world of increasing competition.
Do you agree with me? Am I an idiot? 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 . I’ll answer your question quickly and
maybe even use it for a future column.
