Welcome Apple Podcast

At V-TIP.COM we’re constantly adding new features.

Our newest feature will allow members to create podcasts.

What are podcasts?  Well, according to wikipedia:

 

A podcast or generically netcast, is an episodic series of digital audio or video files which a user can download in order to listen to. It is often available for subscription, so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user’s own local computer, mobile application, or portable media player.[1]

The word was originally suggested by Ben Hammersley as a portmanteau of “iPod” (a brand of media player) and “broadcast“.[2][3]

 

We view podcasts are audio web series and are treated like any other playlist on the site.

So for members, you can now convert any audio playlist in your account into a podcast using the new generate rss feed function.

Simply click the preferences switch in your audio playlist and click the function generate an rss feed.

You should be aware, Apple has some strict requirements including specific categories (and sometimes subcategories) and image requirements that we may not have.

In addition, creating a feed does not guarantee approval of a podcast.

Your show will need to be approved by Apple to be found on apple podcast.

Check out our FAQ page for more info.

Now get out there and start recording your series.

The World As I Like It To Be

Last summer, VTIP Productions debuted a new audio series (aka podcast), The World As I Like It To Be.

The series, hosted by Eric Darnley Small, covers a variety of topics.

Episodes include topics on politics, religion, health and well being.

Beginning this week, the series can be found at Apple Podcast.

For those readers who use the apple podcast app, look for it there.

For those members who are interested in becoming a podcaster, take a look at our new free service for V-TIP members.

V-TIP now supports permalink edits and short codes

Want to let your friends know about those pictures you uploaded to V-TIP?  Saw a laugh out lout funny video that your sister would love to see?  You need as much space in that text message as possible.

Now V-TIP.COM has short codes.  With short codes, you only require the ten characters in our website name and three other digits.  That’s even shorter than bitly the url shortener!! Plus, you can now edit your permalinks in case the automatically generated ones are not to your liking.

It just keeps getting better and better with V-TIP.COM.

Welcome to the New V-TIP.COM

p.txt

 

Happy 2015.  This new year brings great changes.  While our mission is not complete, the New V-TIP.COM is live.  The new design does away with the old and in with the new in a big way.

 

We are now using the most modern of technologies on every page. Big sliders, parallax boxes and animations rendered not by flash but by HTML5.   And for the first time ever, the site is fully viewable on all major mobile devices.  We have a new video player streaming HD (and soon) SD content as well as two new audio/music players that will stream to both desktop, tablets and mobile phones.

 

Our  Wordpress blog already made it possible to post and view posts on your home computer.  But with the free wordpress app on android or iOS devices members can easily blog while they are on the go.

 

And I can’t want to show members what the insides look like.  Very soon we will have new log in capabilities which will give users new ways to communicate with each other as well as a new uploader, media management, friends list, mail center, message center and new profile pages for the world to see.

 

So sit back, look around and enjoy the New V-TIP.COM.

 

More to come.

The new Blogs.V-TIP.COM

Happy to announce V-TIP.COM has moved its blog from Lifetype to WordPress.

 

Why?  Although Lifetype served us well, its clear the development of the code ended back in 2010.  Forum posts indicated three years ago that Lifetype was not resuming in 2.0 fashion.  Updates were yearly and mere security fixes.

 

Recently I discovered WordPress (which is the Phpbb of blogging). With its 3.0 version came multi-user and multi-blogging, something I thought was only possible with Lifetype.

 

Design changes for V-TIP.COM on a whole will begin this fall. With that and Lifetype’s aging templates and infrastructure I realized it was time to go.

 

I loved Lifetype while we had it.  But its time to move on.

 

As always this blog will feature the best of what is happening with V-TIP.COM and VTIP Entertainment.  We hope to debut new series, offer new features and break new ground in the years to come.

 

If you are an artist (writer, musician, actor, comedian, stunt person, whatever) please contact us.  Maybe we can do business.

 

If you are a visitor, while you’re hear check out our web series The Shop and our mini-web short, the Adventures of Tangie.   Comment and let us know how we’re doing.

 

Thanks.  Hope to see you soon.

Warning and caveats when using a beta site.

V-TIP.COM is not a finished website, far from it (but is any website truly ever finished?).

Anyway, we want to warn you, as of right now V-TIP.COM is in a functional beta stage.  That means the website works and to the best of our knowledge you should not have any problems.  But we want to stress caution because V-TIP is still being tested and may yet have bugs we are not prepared for. 

While we are in beta stage your data is less safe and secure then when we are not in beta stage.  There may be crashes due to tons of hits to our site (god I hope so). The site may be slower than usual and under rare occasions completely unavailable.  Data could get lost (highly unlikely, but possible) so do not upload your only copy of family movies and throw out the originals.

Also you will find a lot of branding on the site.  Anything you upload to our site will bear the V-TIP logo.  We’re a new company and we will work hard getting the word out about V<DASH>TIP.COM.  We want people to get so used to the domain name that people will think VTIP.COM looks downright strange without the dash.

In closing, I want to leave with this these parting thoughts — upload your data with care, have fun, keep it clean and tell a friend.

What you’re getting into joining this site.

We won’t bore anyone with the details of who we are.  The background of V-TIP.COM, its mission and what we stand for can be found in the ABOUT US section.   In future blog messages, we want to explain what we like to call “the new economy” and what it means to V-TIP.COM.  This blog (and accompanying discussions on message boards) will be an open dialogue centered around what you expect from us and what we expect from you.  We will discuss how we intend to fulfill a dream of treating artists who come and debut their work here, those who partner with us, advertise on our website, sell on our website, accept our tip dollars and most importantly our members like no other website out there. 

Founder Eric Darnley Small made two things his goal when he created V-TIP.COM.  #1 was to create a diverse landscape with diverse content, opinions and view points for viewers of all backgrounds (race, creed, class, culture, etc).  #2 was to create a site where we incentivize giving and bring together a community of entrepreneurs, artists, advertisers and inventors that support each other, empower each other, communicate with each other using the power of the world wide web.  It is succeeding in these two things that will make V-TIP.COM a success.  Our goal is not to have a billion members, or billion hits, but a million active, engaged and excited members.

So again, welcome and stay tuned.
