Tip of the Week: Embed MyStrands
So you want to tell your friends what you’ve been listening to, huh? Oh, but they don’t have MyStrands? Here’s the plan: A.) Embed the HTML, Flash, or Personalized Indie Radio in your MySpace, Blogger, Live Journal, or whatever other site you are using to connect with others online. B.) Invite them to join!
A.) Go to the Tools Section from MyStrands.com, and it will give you everything you need to insert a Flash Chart, HTML Chart, or Personalized Indie Radio on your site. You can use the Flash Chart to show all your page viewers what you have listened to recently, or you can use the HTML Chart to show your page viewers everything from today’s top artist to your own top songs of the month. Both charts can be customized (size, color, number of items listed). From there, just click “Get the code!” Copy and paste the code into your site, and viola! Now everyone who visits your site will be in the know! BELOW: See the Flash Chart and the Personalized Indie Radio I embeded into my Myspace page.
B.) Invite your friends to join the community! It’s really easy, and it’s on every page of MyStrands. It’s in the top right hand corner: “Recommend to a Friend” Click the link, and choose to add contacts from Gmail, MSN, Yahoo!, Outlook to name a few. It might take a second or two to import your addresses – but then all you have to do it choose the contacts from the list and write them a message. And that’s it! We’ll send them an e-mail with your message in it so they can join the party.
