Re: TDP homepages

Nah i wont fart about with the new server. Here's some examples of some 'blogs' on daabl. I was thinking that everyone could have a page on tdp (www.yourname.thedailypunt.com/sites) and it is yours to do as you please. Post tips, add your own banners, keep a record (Ill be getting a betting record module added) Would this detract from the forum? yes initially it would i think but we just need to get folks to paste their picks in. forums are old hat. folks want to post for themselves and they want their stuff saved for later viewing not just another post on another thread that wont be viewed again. Folks want to have a web address that they can advise folks of. they want to make their 'site' look good and be well visited. the forums would just be an extention of TDP Blogs (for want of a better name)

Here's some examples (in a non betting capacity)
http://crazybaws.daabl.com/sites/
http://thebluesman.daabl.com/sites/
http://thedailypunt.daabl.com/sites/
http://milosmorceebo.daabl.com/sites/

You want Wordpress blogs on TDP?

Re: TDP homepages

I was thinking that we could have a link in everyones avatar box to their homepage. I really think that this is a natural progression for forums. Im sick of folks having nothing to show for all their efforts. Look at The Chief for example (hotlink 'the chief' to The Chief's blog ) every week he writes up some nice stuff and his record is second to none. I'd love to pop by The chief's (irish themed?) homepage and see all his great posts in a row and also see hs record. Folks would have to post on the forums to get their homepage noticed. i think everyone will win. I want to educate forum folks and turn them into 'bloggers' Its easy and it's fun and you'd have a lifetime of support on the forums. I really think giving folks homepages is the future for forums. Dont you think?

The forum will still run as normal btw. it will just have a lot more larger previews and thoughts from folks pasting in their latest blog entry. I think it would be good for the community and also it offers the individual a hell of a lot too. I love the idea. What you think?

Re: TDP homepages

I was back in bed having a snooze there but i had to get up to post. this idea is a cracker imo and just what we need. The forum can become a 'showcase' for ll the sites (homepages) 'but komp we dont want the forum to be a showcase we want it to be a forum!' i hear some cry. Te only differance will be that people post in their gambling selections write-ups from their blog (site/homepage) into our gambling threads. We can't fail. Everyone is getting just what they want. Blogabet might already have it sussed but that doesnt mean that we cant have it and also get the beneifit of thioose that want to 'showcase' their blog. Is allowable spam. Good spam. Positive spam. we even let folks have their blog well linked. Well isited blogs could well grow so big that fols will move on and have their own site and we weuld shake their hand and wish them all the best and they know we're always here if they need us.

Re: TDP homepages

See the way this works for is that the homepages alone are just individual pages on the net that are not linked in any way. I wouldnt find Punter X's homepage on the net unless of course he had been putting some work in and getting his homepage well linked on other sites. The homepages needs a central place. a hub. and thats what TDP would be. It where people get to see a list of all the homepages.

On the other side of the coin TDP Homepages are good for the punters. Its somewhere for them to buld on and not just have 'throwaway' posts. It makes them want to post as their posting first and foremost for themeslves on thei site. We can only be gratefull for their work and hving their previews on the gambling threads (in the central hub) works for me. Folks still hang about Gen Chat etc as they please and having a browse of folks homepages will just be an extra part of the experience. We would have mini communities within TDP Network infrastructure thingy. We're all gonna be winners.

Re: TDP homepages

Can anyone think of a good name for the pages? I dont really want to have it as 'bettingblog' (as its been done) nor blogs. It will have to have an extention due to the install. For example-

http://yourname.thedailypunt.com/???

Anyone any good ideas for it? bb (betting blog) I suppose the smaller the better. Nah bb doesnt mean anything to anyone. 'homepage' ? Nah sounds a bit gay. 'blog' - well maybe the best suggestion so far.

Re: TDP homepages

What wil need to be discussed is the interaction between the blogs and the forum. I would suggest that all blog owners are actively encouraged to post their blog posts (best form of advertising for them too ) so i dont think that would be too much of a worry. as i say havbing a forum sure helps the 'connecting' of them all for us. In an ideal world people will be able to click a button and it will appear in the thread set for whatever category but al that can come in time. I think that the manual posting of them bridges the gap quite well and its hardly a labour spamming your sites/blogs.

But komp arent you worried about people having banners on their blogs and encouraging people to sign up for bookmakers via other people's banners? - no i am not and i think that the rightful people should be rewarded for their thoughts. TDP is not run for the money as other forums may be and our aim is to give our members the best experience that they can and also to promote the sharing of information and thoughts on all things betting related.

Well thats my belief. Slick? Mick? ODM? Come on lets give the folks what they dont even know what they want yet. Lets bowl over the 'we just want a forum' crowd. Lets not be sared to embarce te future with 2 hands. Lets do it.

Re: TDP homepages

The way i see it is that we would have 10,00 - 50,000 blogs going and we would be getting the best from them. We would have a forum to admin it all but im a great believer in freedom especially if it means less work for me. People will come from far and wide for their blog and once their pumping out the winners im sure their blog will become very popular. Maybe even more popular than TDP. We'll just be glad that we could help.

Also in the Homepages forum we would be offering a lifetime of support on running a Wordpress blog. It's easy and thats the beaty in it. Folks who havnet used it before will become smitten with it and they'll ant to give me a big kiss for showing them the way in their imnternet existance. Let's all make the leap. Lets do this for us all.

Re: TDP homepages

Tell me if you see Slick and we can get this installed and we can start using it. No time like the present. Remember how popular the homepages i set up back in April were? Over 40 in the first hour. Well this is better than that and more user friendly and customisable. you'll love it.

Re: TDP homepages

bah im getting all excited here like a kid a christmas. I need to keep talking about the homepages seeing as i can't go set it all up. Folks havent even said they want them yet but in my defence when did anyone ever bother about things till after the event and their in a shite mood. It's all well displayed here and to me it will really drag TDP up and just what ive been working towards since april. With that and also the frontpage/forum intergration we truely will be 'finished' in the website dept and i can concentrate on getting folks in. give folks more than they expected and they'll keep the place going whilst we get more people in.

You'll have to register for your blog. Reason being is that its YOUR blog not ours. We do however reserve the right to have control over what sites we host and failure to comply with a few rules would mean deletion of the blog. What are the few rules i wonder?

1 - No sites specially made for spam. At The discretion of TDP and it will be discussed openly in the blog forum. Common sense will be used and if your plainly just taking the piss then there's no point in trying to bend rules with us.

2 - See rule 1

Intergration
Now we have the frontpage software almost working we will have a directory. New blogs and posts will appear on rss at the side of the forum so folks will always be updated. I suggest that Comments be not allowed and if folks want comments then they post their thoughts in the forum.

Problem - People will be doing write ups on the whole weekends football games no doubt and this could possibly transpire over 2 or 3 leagues. Solution? I dunno maybe we could allow blog threads in the forums. Im thinking that most posts could just be able to e posted onto the divisional threads who will be looking good stuck up there and beng stuck will be a certainty. People can link their thread on their blog if they so wish.

Will people not just post on their blog komp?- Many will. People wont be seeing mch of it stuck away there (we will asist you in advertising your blog) We encorage folks to post their blog previews at TDP and what better way to help folks by offering them their own blog too. It all goes hand in hand to me people want to make the best of their site and they want to hand out an address to people for them to see what they have been doing betting or otherwise. its their wee plce on the net. We get the best out of people and people get something with a bit more satifaction than just posting on a forum (or not as the case wil be)

Its all quite simple really and the only effects anyone will see about the forum is an increased amount of quality betting posts and more satisfied members.

Re: TDP homepages

oh and one of my favourite things which i will certainly be using on daabl.com and you can embrace it here yourselves if you wish iis the feature of letting folks post video from their mobile phone direct to their blog in seconds. We could get folks at games sending in updates of games etc. Just a thought. It will work on daabl as thats ajust a social site and folks can send in clips from concerts etc and have them posted up and commented on before they get home. Live footage from parties straight to their blogs It's the future and we need to move with it.
