...thanks for the memories, Oct. 1997 - Feb. 2000... Dear
B96ers,
I will probably make a B96 Memories page, so if you'd like to be a part of it and say good bye, click here! I have begun work on a new site called InterDance World. To show my love and devotion to dance music, this site has been created in that spirit. Though it's just getting started I hope to expand on it and even have more stuff on this one than this B96 one. I am hoping to add new dance songs to it all the time where you can listen to them them on the web and also a mix section to include mixes from around the world. I also hope to expand in my own mixing talent which I have recently begun. I also hope in the future to begin a Internet Station playing dance music 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Click below to check it out! Another site I have started a long time ago, but haven't done any recent work on it is my Chicagoland Night Clubs site. I hope someday to return to working on that one and letting people in the Chicagoland area know where the hot clubs are to be. The website for that is here...
If you have all wondered who the man is behind the B96 Site, my name is
Jim Conant Jr. I'm a 20 year old student currently attending the
College of DuPage. I live in the Chicagoland Suburbs. B96 has
been a station that has been a favorite of mine since the early 90's and
even beyond. In 1997, I came up with the idea that B96 should have
their own website, since they didn't have one already. It started
out in October as a one page site, looking like someone's homepage that
liked a radio station. Eventually I added some info on the station,
put up some Bobby D mixes on the web and then the site began to take off.
With a little time and learning of the web I began to add pages, always
trying to think of new things to add to get more people to check out the
site. I've added and cut out stuff through the years and have completely
re-done the website probably 3 times. It's grown to over 30 pages
and instead of a one page B96 Fan page that it started out to be, it has
become a full web site. Probably having only a few people checking
it out, it grew up to an average of 50 people checking out the site every
day, until the day B96 announced their own official website, and now the
site has averaged more than 100 recently. It's very hard to get people
to come to a website again and again, and I hope that my other 2 new websites
will get some attention, but I don't expect the same results as this one.
This has been one of my greatest accomplishments and it has always been
a great feeling when people thought my site was the official one and found
out it wasn't. I could look back now at the old pages of the B96
site and think about all the memories from those times. This will
be something to always remember and probably never be repeated again.
I wish I could personally thank each and every one of you that have checked
out the site. You are what made me continue to work on the site.
Who knows what my future holds, but I would like to get more in the field
of web design. I would also love to open my own dance club and start
my own radio station in Chicago...but that is another dream...
Sincerely,
