I've been (and others) have been thinking about this for a while:
Would anyone like to help revive cB News? - - - Also, related to this, would anyone be interested in creating a cB music magazine? It would be similar to cB News with different articles and reviews and such, and maybe a photography section if someone goes to a concert and takes pictures and stuff. |

alright. so. idea idea idea.
createblog. a site about blogs. SO WHY THE HELL DON'T WE HAVE OUR OWN BLOG? we have people who can write. CB news proved that. The type of articles we did for CB news were basically what would go in a blog. The only major change from CB news would be that publishing would be continual. We'd still go through editing and such. so yes. where to put it? well, i would certainly like it to be on the front page, but that is unlikely at the time. so i don't know. |

That's similar to an idea I posted in the revival thread, but no one got back to me on it: QUOTE(Madame C @ Jan 3 2007, 2:08 AM) ^ Deadlines, psh. There's always a way around those. My thoughts for the revamped cBNews was for it to be extremely flexible on submissions and so on. Or maybe it could be a constantly evolving thing, kinda like a blog? What do you guys think? QUOTE(Kurd Jam @ Jan 13 2007, 5:09 AM) Would it be possible to keep this idea in a Wiki? That style of site is ideal for collaborative writing IMO. Wiki is great for collaborative writing, but we're not exactly making a "resource" here, we're establishing a place for thoughts and ideas to be shared.

I think this could be a really cool idea, and help to separate some of the "forum junk" from the truly creative and inspiring thoughts and ideas of the CB community.
QUOTE(Madame C @ Jan 16 2007, 12:50 PM) Wiki is great for collaborative writing, but we're not exactly making a "resource" here, we're establishing a place for thoughts and ideas to be shared. Agreed. I love Wikis, but I don't think we'd want a community blog to follow a Wiki format. If someone posts his thoughts, we don't want them to get deleted or altered.  However, as Mona suggested, WordPress would be perfect (and WordPress has the benefit of being free, GPL'ed software, too ).QUOTE(xMyStIcShAd0wSx @ Jan 16 2007, 9:11 PM) but what the heck do we write about? music? fashion? other news? celebrities? what? I think we should avoid just making it a purely news thing. A blog should be personal, i.e. it should discuss the personal thoughts and ideas of the writer. No, I don't mean that entries should be "Today I did this..." or whatever. But, for example, back when I was more active on CB, I commonly posted essays or other thoughts in forum threads; I'm thinking a community blog could function in the same way. Of course, I don't think the staff should mandate what can or cannot be written. |
