You have to register a wordpress account in order to comment on articles?

:what: yeah I wanted to comment on Cole Cash's articles they were pretty funny but I'm not about to go register at Word Press.
Can't we just use our forum logins?

Check out the new forum also. We'll be posting threads for each of the articles so everyone can easily comment on the articles posted on the main page.

I'll have to check it out. I think I like the forum logo better though. I think the forum logo with that color scheme would be better.

We're going to have most of the articles link to a thread in our new Press Box forum so everyone can leave feedback without registering for wordpress



we're going to switch the domains around once we feel that the blog is ready. theres a few things that we're still tweaking

Na, having actual articles is what draws a following. and gives the writers a chance to actually forge a writing style for themselves that people can become a fan of.

Of course the ATL
I've checked out the articles & they're just ok for now. I think that's in part b/c the site is new & the writers are still trying to bridge the gap b/w the back and forth banter of the forums & op-eds for a website. I would encourage everybody writing to keep writing, even if its not an official piece for the site, to continue to develop you styles. Its not there yet, but in due time, hopefully it will be.

Good luck

I like the initiative for the front page...doesnt work for me yet. If you have it set up as a blog you should treat it like a blog. You should put up news. new songs. new videos, with your own twist. Thats gonna get the traffic and interest...and then the traffic is gon bring the sponsors.
Also you should find a way to make it so you can reply to blog posts with just your name and email. Most of the good blogs I frequent have that option.

Ok, constructive criticism.

The topics you have are good. Lots of stuff that is interesting to read, but some of you all are not good writers and it does not seem like someone is reading these articles before they are published. A lot of grammatical and punctuation errors, which is just not a good look.

You guys have some interesting stuff to say but it is very hard to get through the articles when they arent written well.

I suggest having a team of your writers review the articles before they are published.

I reviewed a couple of them, but I think it's just me. I haven't reviewed anything sports-related yet and I'm only looking at things that are still pending. I like the article about Stalley and today's MCs and some others. You're welcome to volunteer. I'm pretty sure it would be welcomed. I think the problem is that a lot of people wrote them like they post on here. Good thoughts, but a bit disjointed. They'll only get better though.

In due time. It just went up and it's heavily based on volunteers right now. I hear what you're saying though. But that would require people to have committed lanes.
