Thats right I finally have my web site on
my new system with the idea of having two systems available with similar
architecture in case I need upgrades I can perform them on the system that’s not
live while still staying up on my main system.
Here is the state of my site currently:
This all
started just as something to keep a few skills up and expand into other IT type
skills and is really fun and has just continued to expand.
Changes
made:
–
Moved
Mainblog
to my root web site so I can easily change web content on my main page.
www.dhoytt.com
–
My Mainblog has recent
post titles from the rest of my Blogs and Photo Galleries.
–
I dropped Photo Blog
because it was redundant and I have 2 Photo Galleries already with
Gallery2 being my main Photo Gallery since I can upload larger files
without using other software to limit the size since it creates optimized
thumbnails.
–
Radio Blog
now has the following capabilities:
o
View Currently playing
song
o
View upcoming song
o
Show last 5 songs that
played with Album covers where available.
o
Listen with Windows Media
Player or Winamp over broadband or dial-up.
o
Browse through list of
songs and make requests that will play shortly after requested and the
request will be listed on the site (these are not the music files which are
stored on another server just the list)
o
Make Dedications
when you make requests. (Playlist & Requests -> Request -> Fill out Dedication -> Request.
o
View the 5 most recent
Dedications
o
Click on info link to
find out more about the artists and in some cases go to the artists web site.
o
Backed by Mysql database
just like my Blogs for more flexibility and easier manipulation of music play
lists.
o
The ability to
pre-program with scripts and other methods to have specific music at specific
times for instance when I wish to do a nice Quiet Storm late night set,
Classic Hip-hop set etc… or even a lunch time or holiday set.
o
I can also inject special
sound affects over the air interactively whenever the mood strikes or its
appropriate.
o
I can now do talkovers
easily if I choose to for whatever reason.

Future
Changes in progress:
–
Will have fully
functional automated web store backed by Mysql with secure payment structure and
the ability for customers to register and check their account details (this is
mostly ready already but since I built and switched to another system and need
to add more products its I’m not sharing that now)..
–
Yes Local artists
finally!
–
Game server of some type
I just haven’t decided on the game yet.
–
A forum bulletin board
for discussions and integrated with the Internet Radio and possibly the Blog and
of course backed by Mysql (already ready to go but I want to play with it a bit
more still). I will also integrate a discussion group of course for whichever
game/s I decide to place on the site.
–
Continuous changes to
tighten up and improve.
