Ok, so I've got my first piece ready...  How does this work?  Do we take turns posting?  Do we send them to you to wait in a queue?  Should we post them here first?

Oh, and do you guys use <HTML> or [BBS] code over there?



...and I should say that, sadly, I'm getting a blockpage for the site.

Rat's got the forum turned off for now, until everything is all squared away with regards to authors and posters.

Once you log in you will see a link to "Submit New Article" link.

That will pop up a editor for you to drop your content into. You can either use the editor or click the HTML link and edit the HTML directly.

You can then set it to Published, set Featured to Yes if you want it on the front page, set featured to No, if you want it publsihed and available in your category, but not on the front page.

Obviously the current template is just a placeholder :D

Yeah, but I was more getting to the point of pacing.  Obviously, when the project is new, there will be a lot of energy.  I was thinking that each new article should appear... I dunno.  Once a week, rotating between the authors?


Just thinking out loud here.

I don't know what anyone else is thinking, but I'm gunning for one every 2-3 days, rotating between authors.  With once a week, the energy that would be buzzing would get blocked, and then people would lose interest.

Up to you guys :D

Also, if you submit an article and don't publish it, you will still be able to see it but the edit buttons etc will be in blue (indicating unpublished). Just FYI :)

Ok, that's cool.  Charley started us off.  If no one's got anything for this weekend, I'll throw my piece up on Monday.

I have an idea for mine, which I am still hammering out. Will need to be looked at when I am not getting stomped on by life, really.

If you are gonna be an author, please sign up and then shoot Freeky and I a PM so we can assign you to your category :)

Also, if you want to write a synopsis of your category and include some kind of image (either author pic or some image that will fit with your category) get us the content :)

I've got a few ideas floating around, but I've also got out-of-town company this weekend so I doubt I'll have anything ready for submission until this time next week.

No problem, dude.   The way I figure, if we have a submission every 2 - 3 days, the rotation will be somewhere between 16 days and almost a month long.  This way, there's something new frequently, but nobody is put under a ton of pressure to get their shit together after their first post.
