Well, I was pushing to get my Internet radio station up and running before March 1st, and I did it. What a project this has been.

I didn't know that I would have to learn so much. I couldn't spend the money for professional web design, so I learned to code web pages. Then getting it to work with the station was a chore in itself, with too many late nights figuring it out. Since I have previous broadcasting experience, setting up the music within the system wasn't too hard, but the software was new to me, so it took a bit to figure the little quirks it has. Then there was the networking with others for information; forums and phone calls to gleen information. Then setting up the streams and getting licensing to play the music. Three months later, It is running, but there is more to do. Bugs to fix, music to add and getting exposure to get better listings.

The station is formatted with Contemporary Christian music. I tend to run it a bit on the rockier side. I suppose I should play the music I like to some extent, but I have been looking at the music charts to see what's popular within the Christian community.

I also have a few Public Service Announcements on stroke and music education; causes dear to my heart. I wonder if there is a way to give StrokeNet some exposure. I guess I should ask the powers that be to see whether it's feasable or even wanted.

If anybody is interested in the website information to check it out and/or listen in, feel free to PM me. I'll send you the link.

Don't forget to come by chat on Wednesday nights here on StrokeNet too. I am thoroughly enjoying my new job as chat host. March 14 will be topical; on Central Pain Syndrome. Hope you'll be there.
