Anyone ever have a skill published on Alexa?

I made a new skill called “Geaux Tiger Music” for Alexa recently. First skill ever published for me. Used the Storyline site to write it. Super easy flowchart style setup, uploaded into the Alexa developer area, then it took about a day to get published. Right now if you publish a skill on Alexa you get a free T-shirt......

1. Sign up for a free Developer login at developer.amazon.com/alexa
2. go to getstoryline.com and link your developer account
3. Use your creative juices and create a new skill using a flowchart style method with storyline....
Its really that simple. Zero coding skills needed.
The skill I made "Geaux Tiger Music" works by Alexa receiving your spoken request for a Tiger Band song then points to an audio player where the song is stored and then played (includes Neck). Check it out and let me know how the skill is. Anyone that writes a new one should post here and let us know so we can get some testers and hits for each other.

Some baw posted on tRant last year about a skill he made called "Tiger Bot." I downloaded it and it is pretty fun to use. It just spits out random LSU/Tigerdroppings knowledge at you and sometimes plays fight songs and historic radio broadcasts from game winning scenarios.

The "We comin" when you turn it off is cool

How do you use the skill on alexa? I said play Tiger Band music and is started playing Clemson's band.

Enable the skill in the Alexa app on your phone or online first. Then open the skill by saying “Alexa, open Tiger Music”. She’ll say “Geaux Tigers” and then you say a Tiger Band song, “Pregame”, “Neck” ....etc

Ahh ok thanks. We've had our alexa for a while and i still don't know how to really use it. Mostly play amazon music and radio from it.

I just tried to make a skill for playing 94.9 Gumbo, but couldn't find a stream link that worked

I enabled the skill, and she says Geaux Tigers in response to “Alexa, open Tiger Music.”
But I can’t get her to do shite after that. Whether I say a song name, or precede it with, “Alexa, play ...” I get nothing.
Am I missing a trick?
Now she tells me she is having trouble accessing the Geuax Tiger Music skill right now. I see a review from someone else having an issue.

Second that...installed and "tiger music"...nothing happens after saying anything from neck to first down??

Skill has been updated and is working again. My site for hosting the mp3's went down and is back up. When prompted she wasn't seeing the audio files to play them.

Point to this link for your live stream and see if it works..... She needs to have a secured https (just add the s yourself after copying the link) to point to and the original link from the web is just http

Still not working for me.
She says "Geaux Tigers", but doesn't respond to my requests for a song no matter how I phrase them.

You shouldn't have to "phrase" the request for the song. Are you just saying the name of the song you want to hear? If you say "play pregame" or "play neck" she wont understand it.
You: "Alexa, open Tiger Music"
Alexa: "Geaux Tigers"
You: "Neck"
Alexa: plays neck
I want to help get this working for you and I just checked and the skill is functioning correctly right now. Give it another shot and let me know.

Just to confirm further...it's working for me too!

I disabled, re-enabled. Tried it six ways. Nothing.
Oh, well.
Oh, well.
