Navigation
Top Level
The orange navigation bar at the top of every page directs you to the most frequently used areas of our site, including WebDACS, the ContentDepot Catalog, Technical Support, and Training.
The secondary navigation takes you to extensive Station and Producer specific content. Under What's New, you will find the latest information relating to public radio program distribution and technologies, a listing of current public radio conferences and events, and an archive of our quarterly newsletter. If you want to know more about the PRSS and it's D/I Committee, look under About PRSS. Finally, detailed information about who to contact about all Distribution-related services can be found under Contact Us.
Area Specific Navigation
The dark blue navigation box, or Area Specific navigation, can be found at the top-left of every page. Using the area specific link, you can navigate the current section of the site. The bold text represents the name of the section you are in, while the subcategories are represented by plain text. Light blue drop down links will take you to more detailed content within that section.
General Navigation
The medium blue navigation boxes are divided into links of interest to Stations, Producers, and all PRSS users. This level of navigation will take you directly to highlighted sections throughout the site.
Resources
The light blue navigation box at the bottom-left is the Resources navigation. This area contains useful information and documentation about public radio program distribution. Site help, the site map, and the Users Guide are some of the links that you will be able to access from any page of the site.
Search
Site-wide Search
Even with all of the improvements we've made to the navigation, we realize that there may be some specific content that you want to go to directly, so we've added a site-wide search to the new PRSS.org. Simply enter a keyword and click on the "Search" button to easily find what you are seeking.
Content Modules
Highlighted Boxes
New Content Modules on the right-hand side of main pages will direct you quickly to news and information of current interest. These callout boxes feature the latest public radio distribution news, training events, and ContentDepot activities.
