I’m looking into it right now. bug me if you don’t hear from me in a day or so.

Taylor, thanks!  Thanks for the quick answer.  Kat, is that doable with Expression Engine?  I’m willing to make another monetary investment in you and the technology to make this happen.  Thoughts?

Something to think about tonight…and the wee hours of the morning.

Shouldn’t be too difficult to do.  It’d just be a little setup on your end and then placing the embedded player on the page.  What do you think Kat?

David Crowder broadcasts himself making his new record by creating a site with 8 web cam images on it.  Each one shows a new image every 5 seconds.  Cool.

But, could I put one camera, updated more often than that, in the sidebar of the Music blog?  How would I do that?  When I say updated more often I mean something that more closely resembles a movie’s speed.  Something less like a slideshow.

Go here to see Crowder’s. It’s pretty stinkin’ cool:
