I’m working this morning on setting up a Fan Page for KGMI on Facebook, so look for it soon on the social networking site!

I caved and joined facebook a couple years ago (after boycotting the trend for years). Now, I have to admit, I check my Facebook page all the time, and I think it’s time for KGMI to join the Facebook world, or ‘the vortex’ as some call it.

We’ve got tons of content here on our KGMI.com website, but I’m hoping to have some good stuff on the Facebook page, too. Any ideas?

Anyway, I hope to have the Fan Page up ASAP!

Here I am, working the overnight on KGMI, getting programs ready for the weekend and making sure the station (not to mention KPUG, KBAI, KAFE and KISM) stay on the air. Exciting stuff, I know.

I don’t know how you graveyard shift people do it, but I know there’s a lot of you out there. My goal right now is not to sound like a groggy fool when I’m on the air. But don’t be fooled, I am a groggy fool right about now. Gimme some more caffeine. I don’t even have any friends who are online on Facebook right now… sounds like a great Friday night (wait, Saturday morning), huh?

Okay, I’ll quit whining. It is the first day of spring, for crying out loud.

I know it’s lame to talk about the weather, but I am a self-proclaimed weather junkie, and the long-range forecast I check online says we might have some weather as warm as the 70s the first week of April. Key word there: MIGHT. But we can hope.

So, I’ll keep telling myself, the spring weather IS going to arrive eventually.

Right now, though, I’m just waiting for daylight, rain or shine.

I know it probably sounds lame, but I’m pretty pumped on our website. Finally (after working toward it for years) adding live streaming of KGMI to our site is a huge step for us, but as the “morning producer” around here, I’ve been trying to add as much cool stuff on our website as possible.

We’ve expanded our news stories, and JUST TODAY I started adding sound bites to stories — where you can read the story, then actually LISTEN to the quote! Maybe I’m just ignorant, but I’ve never seen news stories like that before. It’s kind of a hybrid, multimedia way to consume the news, where you can read the text, listen to the quotes, and see any pictures we’re able to get our hands on.

Which, by the way, if you have any pictures of news happening, SEND THEM TO ME!!! I want to provide as much good stuff on this site as I possibly can.

If you can’t tell already, I’m having fun with my job as a website caretaker around here. Do you like what you see? Also, any suggestions of other things you’d like us to provide here on KGMI.com?

As a SNEAK PREVIEW, I’ve shot some ‘Behind The Scenes’ video during the morning news, and we’ll hopefully have that up to view soon. Don’t forget to check our videos frequently, since we’re trying to do as many of those as possible.

This is one of the fun parts of this job, and so I’d love to hear from anyone with good suggestions for me!
