Nice job, thanks for getting this started.

Also, I added my name to the thread title to reflect you'll be working with me - this is how IMOG and I are sharing the workload.

Looking forward to working with you, my "real" job involves sourcing and researching travel deals, so I feel that I can share some of my strategies with you. I think this section is unique and will require a different approach. Let's work out a strategy and talk about how to implement it.

Thanks,
Matt

[splat]

[I.M.O.G.]

Thanks for your contributions so far splat!

Anything shaking for this week Brett?

[splat]

no one has submitted anything to me, so i'll probably end up writing a similar article to the one i did before. i'll aim for wednesday again.

[I.M.O.G.]

Great, thanks Brett.

going to keep my eye on this, see if this launch drops any other prices.

[I.M.O.G.]

Nice work on the article this week, looking forward to the next one.

[splat]

i'm thinking that since we had such a nice article by MIAHALLEN today, i'll focus my next deal post on finding the lowest price on that mobo, or maybe finding a comparable mobo for less.

[I.M.O.G.]

Sounds great.

[mdcomp]

I like trying to bridge content like that. It's a great way to drive traffic from article to article to get our users seeing more and more great content! Good idea Brett! Can't wait to see what you find!
:)

Matt

[I.M.O.G.]

Got your latest article, looking good Brett.

[splat]

p55 deal was submitted, not sure what i'll have this week

[I.M.O.G.]

Your last one hasn't been published yet, should be up tomorrow or friday I would think. I'll follow up with Joe.

[I.M.O.G.]

I'm not sure what happened with the last piece, I'll hit the publish button on Monday for it.

Got anything cooking for this week?

[mdcomp]

I'm pretty sure Brett is away this week or was away last week. Said he would hit us up when he gets back. Mentioned taking a week off.

Matt

[splat]

nah i'm not away this week. I was just waiting for the other story to post before i started another. I'll try to get another one written today or tomorrow.

[mdcomp]

I guess that was last week? Or I'm just confused.

Thanks Brett!
:)

Matt

[splat]

yeah i'd go with "confused" :) i was away a few months ago if that helps

[mdcomp]

Haha, time warp I guess

[splat]

Submitted my December OC Buyers guide for review. I guess the P55 deal post got lost

[mdcomp]

Yeah Brett, my bad on that, I think anything that was staged on the old Joomla version of the site got deleted. Tried searching through the drafts on wordpress, but I didn't see it.

I'll edit your new article tonight. Is is time-sensitive? Do you need this published by a certain date? We have a few articles lined up for the next few days, but we are trying to push anything time sensitive to the top.

Thanks! Again, sorry about the mixup. Hopefully we will get used to this new system and that won't even happen again. If it does feel free to annoy me on a daily basis until I get it done.

Matt

[splat]

it doesn't matter to me when it gets published, but i'd suspect it'd be best to publish it ASAP since it is the buying season

[I.M.O.G.]

I think we need to consider identifying someone new for this positions. Both Matt and Brett have been pretty busy with the editting duties.

[splat]

sounds good to me.

I'm looking forward to working with all of you on the front page. As sugested I am going to try to stick with a weekly schedule with possible tie-ins with other articles and see how it goes from there.
