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.
TDP homepages
) 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?.GIF "Thumb(1)")
) 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.
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.
