The links to the following pages on bbc.co.uk can be found to the right.

What's this website all about?

This website is about Somerset - the place, its people, local news, views and lots, lots more!

We want to ensure that this website is as representative as possible and welcome your contributions and feedback.

Which area does the website cover?

The website covers the Somerset County Council area, but also includes neighbouring towns just outside - namely Weston-super-Mare and Midsomer Norton. From summer 2007, places in the very north of Somerset - Bath, Clevedon, Keynsham, Nailsea and Portishead - are going to be covered by bbc.co.uk/bristol rather than on this site.

If you live on the edge of the county, you might also find content of interest to you on the 主播大秀's neighbouring websites for Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire - follow the England link at the top of the page to visit these sites.

Who looks after bbc.co.uk/somerset?

The 主播大秀 Local website for Somerset is run by a dedicated team of two staff based at Broadcasting House in Taunton.

Great! How do I contribute?

Simply contact us with your idea, article, photos or anything else you'd like to share.

In particular, we're always looking for contributions in our clubbing, faith, music, student and theatre sections - follow the links on the right for more information.

How can I contact the bbc.co.uk/somerset team?

You can contact us by using the response form on the Contact Us page - the link is on the left.

I'm finding some of the text on your website too small to read. Can you sort it out?

Our text sizes are determined as part of the design process and enable you to see as much information as possible without needing to scroll downwards. But you can make the text look bigger by making some simple changes to your browser settings.

For example, if you're using Internet Explorer, go to the grey toolbar at the top of the page and select View > Text Size. You can then choose Larger or Largest (assuming the text size is currently set at Medium).

If you're using a different browser, it'll probably have a similar method of changing text size.

Why do you ask for my contact details on various pages?

We only ask for these details in order to contact you in connection with your contribution.

We also need an e-mail address to tell you if you've won a competition. In this instance, contact phone numbers are also useful when prizes of tickets have to be awarded at short notice.

None of your details will be used by us for any other purpose or passed on to any other organisation or part of the 主播大秀.

For further information, please read the 主播大秀's Privacy Policy - click on the link at the bottom of the page.

Do you have any tips on writing for bbc.co.uk/somerset?

Yes! The first thing you need to take into consideration when writing for the web is that online reading is different to offline reading.

Readers tend to scan a page online rather than read everything, which means your text needs to be structured and broken down to accommodate this.

Use headlines, headings, and bullets to break your text down into readable chunks, and ensure your sentences and paragraphs are short and to the point.

Use the 'inverted pyramid' style of writing, which involves starting with the most important information first, and then moving onto supporting information.

This allows a reader to get the gist of your writing in the first few sentences, which will capture their interest to read further.

Please use British English spelling - not American English! Make sure you're writing in the right tense.

Don't use long strings of CAPITALS - this is considered 'shouting' on the internet.

And keep it clean, decent and legal - anything offensive or potentially libellous will be rejected.

What format do I send in articles to you?

All contributions should be sent to us in as text in an e-mail, or as an attachment in text or Microsoft Word format (.txt or .doc). Please contact us if you are unsure how to do this.

What format do I send digital/scanned photos to you?

All photos should be sent preferably as high-resolution JPEG files (.jpg, .jpe, .jpeg). Once again, please contact us if you are unsure how to do this.

What about the law? Who owns anything I decide to submit?

By contributing to this site, you are granting the 主播大秀 a non-exclusive licence to distribute and edit the material you submit in any way and in all media.

You still own the copyright to everything you contribute and you are free to take what you have written and re-publish it somewhere else.

See the 主播大秀's Terms and Conditions for the full terms of our rights - the link again is at the bottom of the page.

I've sent you a contribution or details of a forthcoming event - why hasn't it been published?

We receive many contributions and, although all of them are read, it isn't possible to publish them all on this website. However, details of events are always passed on to the presenters and reporters working on 主播大秀 Local Radio for Somerset.

I've got a news story I think the 主播大秀 should cover on this website. What's the best way to get in contact with the website news team?

The pages about Somerset news that appear on this and the 主播大秀 News websites are written by a dedicated team of journalists based in the 主播大秀's regional newsroom in Bristol.

Your input means they can produce better stories and can improve the quality and range of issues they cover.

If you have any comments about their coverage or a story suggestion, please get in contact with them by following the link on the right.

They cannot promise always to reply individually, but they will be very pleased to read what you have to say.

I know of a website I think should be linked from these pages. How do I go about getting it linked?

bbc.co.uk/somerset includes links to non-主播大秀 Somerset-related websites. These links are provided to offer readers further relevant information, which they may wish to explore.

All links from the 主播大秀 site are deemed to be editorially relevant to the content/page they are linking from and suitable for the likely audience.

The 主播大秀 is not responsible for the content of external websites. The inclusion of a link to a third-party website should not be understood as an endorsement.

Please send us the details of the website you think we should link to by going to Contact Us on the left.

Does the 主播大秀 provide any local radio and regional television services for Somerset?

The 主播大秀's local radio station for Somerset is also based at Broadcasting House on Park Street in Taunton.

主播大秀 Somerset broadcasts across the county on 95.5fm and 1566AM and across the world on this website.

Why can't I listen to 主播大秀 Somerset on DAB?

主播大秀 Somerset is due to broadcast on DAB (digital radio) when the new digital multiplex is launched in 2010.聽

Some 主播大秀 Local Radio services are carried on capacity made available by commercial platform operators.

This is because the 主播大秀's own digital multiplex is already used to full capacity for the national 主播大秀 services.

Why can't I listen to football commentary online?

For a number of sporting events, such as for Yeovil Town matches, the 主播大秀 only holds the rights to broadcast live commentary locally to the area covered by its radio transmitters.

Our internet service is available across the UK and around the world, and therefore we need to blank all output for which we do not hold international and/or internet rights.

We apologise for any inconvenience, but you can still listen to the commentaries on 95.5fm and 1566AM.

Click on the listen live link to listen to 主播大秀 Somerset online.

How can I get a recording of a programme?

Our copyright agreements only cover broadcasts.

The rights for further distribution of programme recordings have to be negotiated as separate agreements.

Therefore, as a general rule, we can only provide a recording if it has been made commercially available.

You can also listen again to many programmes on the 主播大秀 iPlayer for up to seven days after they were first broadcast.

Where can I buy 主播大秀 products?

To buy commercially available tapes of 主播大秀 shows (in the UK/EU), go to the 主播大秀 Shop site.

For copyright reasons not all broadcasts are commercially available. We regret that we can't supply tapes where this is the case. 主播大秀 Information has further details.
