The GT Front Page Preparation Thread

[BreakABone]

I mentioned in the other thread, we would have something to show in a week or so, and I guess now is a good of a time as any to reveal.

Will act as the GT main page, whenever we get it up and running. What we need now, at least from my view point (there are others working with me) is someone to help design the site, and make it look all nice and purdy.

And of course some early content. Whatever you want, but like we originally envisioned still want it to be like The Onion of nerdy news.

I'd be willing to do whatever.
'We' can practically assign me any task 'article'-wise, and I'll smile and contribute. It'll give me something to do with my ample time.

Out of curiosity, why did we decide to go with a totally different domain name, rather than making a front page for gametavern.net?

That would require (I do believe) vB to be updated.

There were several reasons, but the most important is when conceiving the website, I wanted it to be more than just games focused, and thought that GameTavern as a name would be limiting in its appeal for non-game content.

We have a functional front page up and running ATM.

www.nerdsontherocks.com

And it has been updated to include all of the podcasts so far.

And to kind of give an idea of what want the website to be.
Did an article this morning

I'm being told by my attornies that I can not take sole responsibility for the website launching.

So would like to give credit to Magus for all his work. Teuthida for most of our graphics (when they go up ) and TML for most of the technical mumble jumble.

I'm just the ringleader keeping everything in line.

The website is for everyone.

We need people to provide content and stuff for us.

So if you are game-d for anything.

And that goes for anyone, post in this thread if interested in providing some content. Reviews, previews, humor, art, anything.

Nice.
Hell, I'll pitch in somehow.
Reviews of games or something.
Give me specific tasks and I'll do 'em.

Send me the password you want for your account in a PM and I'll give you editor access to the front page so you can make submissions.

That's actually not a bad idea, if you would be interested in doing it?

Anyhow, just spitballing some ideas for stuff if people want to try and do some articles

I'm gonna try and get Combine and Typhoid to do the Zombie Survival Guide, post a tip or two a week.

Was thinking of doing a Weekend, What's on Tap, where we recommend a drink a week, how to make it. Maybe folks can also post what drank that weekend.

Nerds Hall of Fame, highlight a nerd in media like once a week.

Community Watch, which would highlight a single thread from the week. Post some comments/excerpts from it on the main page.
