New front page/blog is up!!!

Post by lestat »

We have now a front page blog that you guys can check out. It would be great if we can get people adding news/blogs when they can. If you are interested in posting news/blogs notify myself/pat/cletus so we can give you thread posting permission in the News forum.

You just post your thread like any other with the info you have and it will apear on the main page. Suggestions and help on sprucing the main page up will be welcomed too. I know some people expressed interest in doing reviews and stuff so we can expand the contents of the main page even further with content you guys wish add.

I hope you all like it. :)

just go to.

Yeah it's basic/functional and just matches the forum colour scheme, obviously i'd like to spruce it up with better graphics. but atleast we can blog current events/news now.

The site is really coming well together.

IMO we should offer a feature where members can submit their own articles. Be it new/nostalgic game reviews, previews, movie reviews, sports analysis etc. We've got some very good natural writers on this site as well as some charismatic blabbermouths so I say we put them to use.

I'm imagining the blog is good for mini reviews/news and events. But yeah candy we should have an articles section and people can submit them. I know quite a few people here have some experience writing for sites/mags so yeah it would be great to add to the site.
