This was when I first got involved and we "computerised" the station,
most of the pages are technical guff but you're welcome to pinch stuff.

Yes, I removed the gig guide button because the gig guide itself was
out of date and not much on it. It didn’t do us any favours
presentation-wise.
I think that whilst the gig guide outside of broadcast was originally
a good idea, its quite time-consuming for people to manage it and
keep it updated. It’s quite a commitment. Everyone leads a busy life,
so probably just maintain it during broadcast and the button can be
returned then.
I tend to agree about the ‘Listen Again’ widgets although previously
they were put on there to draw attention to our mixcloud, but have
probably served their purpose for now. Something for DJs to mention
in their shows to click on the ‘Listen Again’ button on the website.
I have also managed to dig out the original information regarding the
history of HR that was on the previous version of the website. It is
now reformatted and under another button on the menu at the top of
the page. This only features up to 1999 so any additions of
information for this page would be welcome.
Finally, any info + mug shots of DJs might not go amiss for the
‘About’ page.

Wow Sarah great job with the website ,
I note the gig guide button has gone , thinking about it probably a
good thing for now as I usually spend 2 hours a week updating it ,
having been busy with music and other things connected to Hastings
rock myself , ralph also too busy with work to help me with it .
From now on I will only update the gigs for May.
We will need the Button back before May for djs to read out the gig
guide .
I question if we need the listen again programmes on the front page
as theres a section for them under listen again tab at the top . just
think it gives the front page more impact and less cluttered without
these .
