Welcome back for another installment of Drupl How-To's. This time around we're going to look at how to spruce up your audio page. The topics we will be discussing include:

-Adding text

-Adding images

-And deleting posts. 

 For an example of what I mean, let's take a look at the Davisville show page. 

As you can see Mr.Buchanan has down a great job of adding both pictures and descriptions to each of his individuals shows. You too can do this! And its easy! 

Step One

As usual, make sure you log in using the log in box at the bottom of the KDRT homepage

Hey Everyone! And welcome back for another one of your lovely "Drupl How-To's." This time we'll be discussing creating playlists for shows that have not yet been uploaded to the website. 

"BUT TRISTAN!" you say, "had we not discussed this in your previous post?!?!"

It's true. We discussed a method for adding show playlists for shows already uploaded. However, this is a method to create playlists for shows that are not yet available online. This means that this method is entirely optional. Feel free to use whatever method of playlist upload you prefer and are most comfortable with. 

Step One

Go ahead and log in like you normally would. Scroll down to the bottom of the KDRT page, and use the login box to access your account. 

Step Two

An hour of old jazz favorites tonight!

During the live broadcast of the Golden Road on February 7th at 6:00 pm, we welcome musician, composer, producer, artist and visionary, Bob Bralove of San Francisco.  Bob achieved considerable acclaim through his supremely creative work with the Grateful Dead during the late-1980's and early-1990's by essentially integrating modern sound alternatives (such as MIDI) into the live and studio mix of the band.

Bob Bralove is also an accomplished visual artist striving to create mind-expanding acrylic, pen & ink and even computer-generated art.  He will open an exhibit of his art at the Davis Cemetery Gallery on Sunday, February 10th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at 820 Pole Line Road here in Davis.

Here is a link for more information on the upcoming art exhibit:

The Golden Road airs live on KDRT each Thursday from 6 - 8 pm.

Adding a playlist can be a bit of a hassle. But once you're used to the new system, it should be easy and streamlined.

First, you need to select the show that you want to add the playlist for. To do this, click your name in the upper right hand corner to bring you to the landing page.

From here, you'll want to click on the track button to view all of the shows and episodes that your name is affiliated with. This will be the DJ name that you have set up in the account settings area. See my previous post for information about this.

Welcome! Recently the KDRT website has switched over to a new way for producers to manage content called Drupl. Drupl is an open source content management software that (hopefully) allows users to easily publish personal information, playlists, blog posts and more! In this entry we will go over some of the basic set up that everyone should know and understand in order to get the most out of the Drupl experience.

First: Set Up An Account

You can use your existing KDRT account to log into the new system and start editing. The log in box is now located at the bottom of the KDRT homepage, so use that to log in.

An hour of jazz standards by some of the great perfomers!

Story telling through song is this weeks theme. We will discuss and play music that really is a musical short story. Listening Lyrics on Friday Feb. 8 2013 at 4:00PM

This weeks show will feature music that reflects on our spiritual side. My in studio guest will be Corey La Rue. Corey is a painter, poet, musician and oh so much more. The reason I have invited Corey is that much of his work reflects his spiritual walk.
