Maybe it was boredom or maybe empathy (--- most likely boredom) that
has led me to create a site skeleton to explain how this website works.
It's come to our attention, here at 4WP, that the people we are trying
to reach are either tech-savvy (l33t) or tech-dummie (Id10t). Whatever
the case may be, here's A Dummies Guide to Movie.Menu.Com:
Look! It's a tiny version of the website you are in!
So
it's a pretty easy website but here's a breakdown of what you can find
on the main (index.html) page. Let's start with the hardest part:
How to Subscribe
It's easier than you may think.
What you need: A brain (hopefully your own), a computer (like the one you are using) and iTunes from iTunes.com... you may also need a pair of eyes, but only one is necessary.
What do I click?
Ok, above all this site was built on the basis of dualities and trinities.
I know most people don't understand this concept, and you don't have
to. Just know that their are three icons (two that repeat and one
standalone) that are placed on the site to get you to subscribe:
This
icon of an armless-legless-neckless-aura inducing man isn't just a
funny looking picture, but a subscription button. By clicking on this
image, your browser (the thing you use to look at the website) will ask
you if you have iTunes installed---if you do, it'll open it and direct
you to the Movie Menu display section. By simply pushing the Subscribe button, you would have subscribed and automatically download Movie Menu for free anytime you turn on iTunes.
The second button that repeats twice is this one: 
Among all icons, I believe that this one is the most self-explanatory.
It's simply the same as the Afro-Man icon just described.
What if I don't have iTunes?
Not to worry.
As you push the Subscribe
button on the Movie Menu website, it will take you to "One Moment
Please" page. Which will then ask you "Do You Have iTunes?" If you push
"No" then it'll ask you to install it.
On iTunes:
Never fear!
Many find comfort in alternative music software like Musicmatch, Winamp, and Windows Media. Here's the problem:
- Musicmatch (unless you pay $20) cuts songs in half, records MP3's slower and doesn't allow for podcast feeds.
- Winamp
(simple and easy) is by far the crappiest piece of software out there.
The great thing is it's so simple to use that my grandmother, who
doesn't speak English and hates computers, can use it.
- Windows Media Player (omg!) doesn't make MP3's, doesn't allow for podcasts, and allows hackers to spam you.
Oh... I forgot, iTunes:
You
don't have to pay for iTunes, copies MP3's better than any other
application, downloads podcasts (video and audio) through RSS feeds all
for f-cking free! Oh, and they don't report you to the RIAA for having
pirated songs
The End... or is it?
So
remember, subscribing is easy---the hard part is being smart about it.
Now go get 'em kids and remember: Give Afro-Man some love! And tell
your friends about Movie Menu! Because Afro-Man loves you and Movie
Menu does too! Now keep it real, and tell your friends about
MovieMenu.Libsyn.Com!
