We need a presentation page for company and members

Postby Sayvara » Wed May 30, 2007 10:44 am

We need to have a presenation page for the Company of the Black Thorn... a one-stop information page that lets people that want to know more about the Thorns can read up and get the Quick & Dirty version of what we are.

Also, I would very much like people to start drafting "personal" pages for their characters. We are going to try to make a template for HTML pages that can be hosted on blackthorn.dk and that can be linked from the presentation page.

Anyone can help. Just start draftig on text you'd like to see in the presenation. If you are design and/or HTML savvy, you are very welcome to propose a design draft for the pages.

A suggestion: the summary about a character (as opposed to the bio) should be written not by the player of that character... but by everyone else. ;)

Naturally the player can suggest things to be witten... but in the end it is the other players that write. This doesn't work fully though as not everyone know eachoter yet so this will probably have to be laxed a it... but still... the general idea is that others should write. :)

Sounds real good, Sayv. Do we have any access to any sort of blogging or wiki-style page setup, so people can build their "own" page, so to speak?
Let's talk about it on MSN and work out some details...we could also add game-specific facts, so DDO Thorn can put up pages alongside LotRO Thorn and so on and so forth.

Did you have any particular lay out in mind? and is there a database involved? or are you going for fixed pages for simplicity?

We have a database available but for starters I'd say we use static pages... unless someone know some very easy-to-use publishing system.

A wiki would be cool, easier to maintain for everyone.

A test wiki is up. I am not going to print the address directly because I want to keep the bots away. But it follows the same pattern as for the forum link on the main page

If you still can't figure it out, PM me.
