THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru
Having your own site is a two-part process. First there's the buzz of
building. You get an idea, whip up content, and make the pages spin
like a top. Then you put out a welcome mat. But the next time you check,
the hit counter is stuck in single digits and crickets can be heard off
in the distance. Sound familiar? If so, you're ready for part two:
Promotion! Now that you have a cool site, you need to get creative to
attract visitors. This used to mean dropping a bundle on banners and
blimps. Now all you need is a PC microphone. . .
Introducing Lycos Talk Radio, where you get to be the host of your own
online radio show! Just imagine. You can talk about your site. You can
take callers and control the flow just like on the radio. The show is
free and getting the word out is extra easy. Lycos gives you a Talk
Jockey page to promote your show and your site. And with the Lycos Talk
Radio Console, you can direct listeners to your site (or other fave Web
addresses) during the show by simply typing the URL. Want to check out a
Tripod Talk Jockey? Ready for your own fans? Visit Lycos Talk Radio!

e-commerce.

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded
by our dedicated membership department!
Q: What is remote loading?
A: Remote loading occurs when files are stored on one site for access
on another server. Storing image files on a Tripod page for use on a
non-Tripod page is an example of remote loading. Tripod does not allow
the embedding of MIDIs, WAVs, MPEGs, and similar files from such remote
sources as e-mail and external auction sites. You may still freely
embed most files that are part of your Tripod pages.
