I think its time someone made some new banners / trailers. Ideas? Suggestions? Maybe something like this? New button to reply to this post. Thanks.

Hey Wayne where's the emoticon button on the new text input box?

Thanks Stavro. I'm figuring out things as I go. I managed to post the Mad Music Podcast. Got the .jpg and .gif figured out in HTML5 ('Cause they are basically the same).  Still trying to figure out .mp4 video stuff. But I'll get there eventually!

Just an addendum to all this. The old banners I made fit in the new space provided above the show playlist, so your banners will also work perfectly well there, HTML5 or no HTML5. Like this - www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMP-38 and this - www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMP-45

As long as they're plain static banners.

Thanks Wayne, My computer is way too old and can't use Google Web Designer.
Google just laughs at me when I try to download anything from them.

As for the HTML5 stuff - go download Google Web Designer (it's FREE!) and is good enough to make the banners and the Mad Music Radio block on the home page. Takes a little learning, but there are a bunch of YouTube videos on how to use it.

Thanks for being willing to make Mad Music Shows and Podcasts! I think having them back on a regular basis will improve participation by the members.

If you and Wayne are both busy making Mad Music Halloween shows, I could make a podcast. I'm glad to see Wayne back doing a few shows. I can certainly put together a Thanksgiving show so you guys can concentrate on the Christmas shows.

I'm trying to figure out all the new HTML5 things going on here. Also will I even be able to post my flash banners anymore? So many new things to learn again.

Thanks Stavro. I'll figure things out over time by doing and asking questions.

I made new banners for the shows with my ancient Photoshop 2.0 (the homepage is full of them) and I suck at it, so as long as the banners don't have to be animated, you couldn't help but do far better. There's been no problem with the old crap I uploaded, so it should be easy for you. 

Wayne could explain the details far better than I possibly could. As for the graphics, I'm told the new stuff was made with Google Web Designer (i.e., free). For the love of Cthulhu, even I have a copy of it and am working it out. But my back hurts (a LOT) & I'd rather watch the entire season of Gakkou Gurashi! again (expect music from its OSTs in the Halloween shows), so maybe I should let those who know what they're doing work it out.

I'm sure a Thanksgiving show would be appreciated by all. Of course, there's no law saying there can't be podcasts & streaming shows together on Halloween.

I'm not happy about not being able to post H'ween shows last year. I was far too ill.

This year (schedules permitting), both Wayne & I are going to pound the holidays into demented dust with new shows - lots of them.

To do it right, time is needed to sort out the scripts. I could puke out the same boring crap.

But this year, I don't feel like a zombified dead guy who's been given a day pass and is walking around against all the laws of the gods and gravity. So there's no excuse for the editor of this site not to string together a few good shows.

A single 2-hour show at Thanksgiving would help ensure that 4 Xmas shows get made. With the new show page features, you could put a big banner above the playlist and make it yours in a unique way.

I have a Halloween podcast scripted and ready to record (if you need a podcast). Yes I could probably come up with a Thanksgiving Mad Music Show.

The new site is cranking along nicely. All but 2 of the big bugs are sorted out.

Maybe someone would like to make a Thanksgiving Mad Music Show to give certain really old people time to assemble holiday shows.

Us old people are preparing Halloween & Xmas shows & trading show 'features' between shows.

We're too synced. There needs to be a counterpoint.

Glad you like it. Maybe I can come up with one for TMMP & TMMH for you.

Good work. I barely managed to make the original banner.

I plant it right below the playlist on the show page to bring a bit of life to an otherwise plain page. This will give me another option. At least when I can manage to make 2 hour shows.

Maybe the IM's broken again. There was trouble with it before and we really didn't sort it out properly.

The message I returned was to post it now as I was in no condition to finish the new MMS (I'm still not). I'll post each of the 4 half hours one at a time as they're completed, but we would do well to have something posted until I can finish the first 30 minutes. As usual, that gets done when the room stops moving. As Denis Leary once said, today's prescription drugs are more powerful than anything you can get on the street...

...The broken IM had status issues. Perhaps successfully sending Tyro an IM and having it returned can confirm that.

I'll post the new show on iTunes when it arrives.

I've got another podcast finished. I'm wondering if I should post it now or wait until the last one expires?
MMP-40 "Fast Food + Slow Service = Half Fast Diet" or "You Are What You Eat"

Thanks, Dave. I see you've noticed that a good show starts with a clever/snide title. You have to grab their attention to get your show heard sometimes. 'Teh internets' are very fickle, after all.

As for the banners you asked about, perhaps you can make new banners for the site's main show. I know I'm rather extremely infirm and unworthy of such things, but if you feel like it, you could put together some banners of the size I use on the show page when I complete shows.

New things draw badly needed listeners. I have an ancient version of Photoshop that's likely incapable of doing what I need. Perhaps you have something better.

I should have something by the end of the week. MMP-39 "Please Adjust The Nut On The End Of The Steering Wheel"

Stavro Arrgolus:

I've just the thing. Now that I'm out of the hospital again, it'll take a while to get my head on straight, so how about applying that productivity into making a new podcast while I'm putting together the new MMH.

This would help me quite a bit as I'm getting too far behind on these shows. Podcasts have no themes now, but you can have one if you want.

I can see from the overwhelming response that I should probably spend my time doing something more productive, rather than making trailer / banners.
