Connect2Dance Features...
So what do you get when you sign up for your FREE Connect2Dance web site? Here are the top features: Feature Rich/Multi-media enabled social network "MySpace" type web site - Your own Internet web page where you can choose from several styles and color coordinations (and coming soon, the ability to completely stylize your own page!).
- Your own Internet web "Blog". For those not familiar with the term, it is shorthand for "web log", which is a journal or diary that you keep. Let the world know what you do or what you think; its your "blog".
- Photo Gallery complete with 'slide' viewer including multiple transitions.
Upload your digital photos in seconds. The system will automatically size and create a 'thumbnail' photo to show on your main page. When a user clicks their mouse on the thumbnail, the larger photo is displayed along with your own caption.
- Video Gallery - Upload your favorite dancing videos. The system will automatically convert the format and place an embedded video viewer right onto your Connect2Dance.com home page, so that users don't have to have their own video viewers.
- MP3 Player - Upload your favorite music (in compliance with copyright laws) and let your users listen. Like the Photo and Video viewers, when you first upload your music the system will embed a detachable player into your home page.
- PodCast Player - If you choose to do your own PodCasts (we incorporate a complete PodCast system for you), a detachable PodCast player will be available on your home page for your users to listen to your podcasts online.
- Private Messaging System to communicate with Connect2Dance members only...
- Bulletin System for sending a message to your own Partner group...
- You control virtually every section of your web page, with simple administrative tools to enter your main contentl, announcements, an "About Me" section, your own personal profile, and more.
- You control the people in your "Partner" group; people with which you share special privledges like being able to comment on each other's web sites and 'blogs'.
- Your "blog" is RSS Active! What is that? RSS is Really Simple Syndication; it is like the old newswire teletype, except on the internet. It is a news feed of your blog that anyone with an RSS reader on their computer desktop can get and will display the headline of your blog (and link them to it) every time your blog changes. Your blog can actually be published to the entire world!
- Don't have an 'RSS' Reader. No problem. Your web site has a reader and an "Aggregator" built in for your use. You can add 'feeds' of your own, from friend's blogs, to news from the major networks, to feeds from your favorite internet web sites. They will update automatically every time there is a change, and the display will be at your finger tips. You control what feeds you get and are displayed.
- Your own Calendar/Schedule- Keep track of (and share) events on your own events calendar
- Your own RSS Reader/Aggregator
- Built-in text chat system that includes 'instant messaging' and an interactive 'white board' for diagramming those new dance steps/variations.
- Built-in access to view current radar from all NWS Radar sites...
PodCasting Web Page - A complete suite of PodCasting applications letsyou upload your own recorded "PodCast" in either .wav or .mp3 format. The system will reformat the audio as required and create your own PodCast Web site. Your PodCasts will automatically go out on your own RSS feed. Userscan get the RSS Feed, download the PodCast directly to listen to on theircomputer or in their I-Pod device, or even listen to it directly with aPodCast player embedded directly into your PodCast site. You'll also haveadministrative control over your own content on this page, just like onyour own Connect2Dance main page.
