[ghost_recon88]

Sweet, we're getting a news section!

[Dolk]

I keep up with a lot of the Tech news and OC news. I just never post anything

[EarthDog]

Whats the formatting going to look like? Links to articles I presume not write ups?? If its that way...I like how another place did it... looked like this in a post:

(Subject line is title of article)

A little note from whoever created it about their thoughts on the piece (optional)

Quoted snip from the begining of the article

Link to source

Example:
-------------------------

Sub: Why my mom is better than your mom.

I'm talking to matt atm, we are setting up how things are going to look like. If anyone has any articles please list them here. More information is best.

You mean like this ED?

[Dolk]

So i'm not going to lie, but this is not easy lols

If anyone wants to help me with this, I would appreciate it. What I mostly need is people that would like to write Featured news articles here and there. And if people could email me news articles, that would also reduce the amount of time I search for them.

VERY similar, yes!!! I thought it was going to be in threads though which is where I posted my news site pilfering......err.....news posting. If its on the frontpage, a different format may be needed. But I have to admit, that looks pretty good as is!

let the dust settle for a review I have going, FW, and that public TIM test/review for Joe and I will fire off some articles I find...

Dolk, mdcomp (and others) came up with a great format for the news posts. See the first iteration here. It's good stuff.

Dolk, I don't have much time to frequent a lot of places during the day but I'll forward stuff if I see anything of interest.

[Dolk]

@ Hokie, that first post, Yeah I made that

[I.M.O.G.]

News is on hold for now, pending some adjustments and further involvement. Anyone interested, contact me!
