Hey Everyone-
I sent an email about this earlier, but I wanted to update you on my plans for election night. On election night I'll be with the Democrats and will be available for reporter two way phone interviews during the day and in the evening for live coverage. I'll also post a story that day on turnout and voting problems or irregularities should they arise and will be at a few Denver polling locations.
I'll post another story the evening of the 4th for the following morning on some of the major ballot questions and a general wrap up. KUNC is posting stories on the U.S. senate race and the 4th congressional race.
As I said earlier I'm hoping other RMCR stations will share stories on election night. We'll use the same system that we used during the DNC. I've posted the instructions below. Delaney Utterback of KRCC will be your contact for questions about the audio sharing website, his contact info is at the bottom of this message.
Thanks and please contact me if you have additional questions or want to discuss content for a two way phone interview or schedule a time for that. I'll have my cell phone with me election day/night. It's 303-229-4381



The website for uploading and downloading pieces on election night is- www.superhumanbaby.com. You need to login to use the website.
Delaney Utterback from KRCC has set up user names and passwords for stations/reporters. If your station doesn't have an account please email DELANEY at delaney@krcc.org and he will create one.

A generic user name can be used for freelancers or temp workers.

user name- Freelancer
password- RMcr/2008

Directions for Posting- (from Delaney)

Welcome to Rocky Mountain Community Radio's file sharing site. Sorry about the strange domain name... this site will eventually reside at www.rmcrstations.org. But, for now, www.superhumanbaby.com it is.

The site is pretty simple right now. If you look on the left side of the screen, you'll notice a link called "Create Content." After clicking that link, there are a few options, including: audio, blog and story. You will mostly be using the "Audio" link.

The "Audio" module will allow you to post a story by uploading an MP3 or WAV file. It will also allow you to include a Host Lead and any other information you would like to include about your post, as well.

I won't over explain, because I feel like it's a pretty simple form... go have a look. After you upload your story, it will be featured on the front page of the site, where others can download the piece, and even leave comments. (Note that it spits out a couple errors when you enter the "Audio" module, you can ignore them.)

If you don't see what you're looking for on the front page of the site, or to find recent content or all files, click the "Recent posts" link on the right, or "Browse by" and then "Title." Note that when you upload audio, it is helpful to be as descriptive as possible in the "Title" of your post; include the date if you can. This will make finding it later easier.

Feel free to explore other portions of the site. It's very basic right now, but can grow to accommodate your requests.

For help during the DNC, you can reach me at delaney@krcc.org, 800-748-2727 (KRCC), or 719-641-1187.

There is a file size limit of 8mb for now. If you need to share something larger than that, we have an FTP site running as well:
FTP Username: news@superhumanbaby.com
FTP Server: ftp.superhumanbaby.com
FTP Password: RMcr/2008
For some clients, especially Fetch on a Mac, you'll need to replace the "@" with a "+" in the username.

Please grab this content for your own websites, but please download and host the audio files on your own servers. For now, we don't have a hosting package with a lot of bandwidth. Plus, I'd hate to break your links when the site name changes. If you would like to develop a content module for your website from the content featured here, or from Bente's CapCov reports, contact me and I'll help you.
