Stuff

I think I'll keep this post mainly about replying to people's comments. I don't have much to say today - the week has begun in a somewhat depressing way (which sucks, because it's my birthday today!)

It's nothing serious, I'm just starting to really tire of my current job.




Kei-chan: The podcasts should be cool, I'm hoping we can get permission to syndicate some interesting content - and eventually publish our own.

As for the newspaper, I agree. The Featured Threads panel will largely take care of aspects of the newspaper, but I think the actual prospect of a "real" OB newspaper with images and everything would be very cool.

Crystia: Well, I think we face the reality that if we provide, say, five or six options...not everyone will like them. It is impossible to please everyone.

So all we can do is try to make these panels relatively unobtrusive.

In terms of removing the ones you don't like, I don't know. That's honestly a purely technical question at this stage. Right now the site is not designed to allow you to do anything other than "collapse" the panels you don't like (which is probably good enough). But if it's technically possible I'm sure we can produce panels that physically disappear.

Hal: Yep, even a forum can be a big task especially when you're trying to bring a lot of new content to the table.

And yeah I agree with you. Artrepreneurship (by its title alone) is obviously aimed at artists (of all kinds), but I do think anyone with a product or an idea to sell would be wise to give it a read.

Darren: I know what you mean about the panels but I don't think that'll even be necessary. The panels will all be separate and will be grouped based on subject. So if you aren't into podcasts, you can collapse the podcast panel. Luckily I don't think the panels will be annoying or obtrusive, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue for anyone.

Oh and, the theme to my page is "Gloomy Bear" (look up his site - it will make you laugh!)
