MuskieFIRST Secrets:

If you have a photo album, you can view it as a slide show.

Use Slamr's as an example:

Just replace the number 186 with the number of your photo album.

Voila!!

MuskieFIRST 2006 redesign is complete. If you notice any omissions or errors, please send email to [email protected].

Added MuskieFIRST Radio feature to the MuskieFIRST site today. It replaces the great Fishing Fanatics radio show we previously hosted for Dave Landahl and Pete Petros.

MuskieFIRST Radio is not really a radio show, but an ever-evolving series of audio clips of interviews centered around hot current topics in the muskie world. We believe the relevancy of our audio on site will be much improved, plus the size of the clips will be much more manageable, allowing you to choose what you want to listen to bit-by-bit without have to hear long commercial interruptions to get to the good stuff.

The first interview was with Norm Wild, it was very interesting and full of information.

MuskieFIRST Radio is also available as a "PodCast" and has a corresponding PodCast feed. Basically this means that it is available as an mp3 format (in addition to our Windows media and QuickTime formats) for play on a portable media player such as an iPod or Rio player.

The cool part is the PodCast feed. The first step to take advantage of this is to download a free PodCast aggregator. iTunes includes a built in PodCast aggregator, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. iPodder http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/index.php is a standalone aggregator. The aggregator will "read" or feed and pull any new clips down as they become available, as well as those from any other feed you subscribe to.

Finishing up a photo album upgrade here on MuskieFIRST today.

This was another upgrade that was lost when we did a major version upgrade on the MB, everything had to be rewritten, but it's looking good, should be done today.

We finally finished and launched the blog add-on today, as well as the newest installment of Fishing Fanatics Radio with Dave Landahl and Pete Petros. The guest were Mark Martin and Rich Gallagher.

Look for the blog section to constantly improve over the next few weeks.
