That'll be what I was meaning when I was talking about putting something on the homepage earlier then. Yeah, I was wondering how to tackle a homepage, seeing as a welcome message wouldn't really change, and I was wondering if it's possible for us to "do a Nintendolife" and have it amalgamate every new article, wherever it's posted, to appear on the homepage... |

| I'm sure it is, but I've no idea how. If anyone figures it out, let me know because I'll do the same with dinopo. |

| Mas, you might want to change the indie weeks to the articles section. Having it as a whole section on the site seems a bit much. |

| What, as in having it as a whole section on the site, or under the articles bit? |

| Under articles but I couldn't figure out how to put it in there, I've took it down down from indie weeks. SO just Forum, Reviews and Articles up top. |

| When you went to add it onto the site, you needed to go into articles and press the little "+" in there. |

| This is a nice little surprise, I've been meaning to get back to writing and this would be a great way to do it so I'm up for it if you'll have me. |

| One other question I have: Is anyone going to get offended if someone else spots a spelling or grammatical mistake, and logs in to fix it? I certainly wouldn't mind if someone fixed something I've done (Balla seems to edit every 3rd thing I write! But I think that's because he knows I'm cool with that). I'd love to contribute an article or two (I'm 6 months behind current games, so I can't really review anything), but I won't rush in as otherwise nonsense will occur and I'd sully your reputations. |

| It wouldn't bother me personally, but then I'm willing to turn a blind eye to a well-meaning typo. |

| I think typing, spelling and simple grammatical errors are fair game as long as we don't mess with anyone's "style", as it were. |

| Yeah, I wouldn't be miffed at all - I think it'd be very hard to affect someone's writing style through correcting a couple of errors.
EDIT
Yeah, I wouldn't be miffed - I'd be very hard.

| Wrote another thing.
Which raises the question. Where on the forum do we post articles? Obviously a review can just go in the Last Game I Played thread, but does something like this go here, or in the Random Thoughts one or the Things We Done Wrote or in a new thread for each article? |

A good question. I'd assume that people should be decent enough people to check the site every day  . I reckon it'd make sense if there was a thread labelled "new articles"; anyone uploading an article would then say "hey I made a new thing" in that thread. |

| Two other thoughts (from someone who hasn't contributed at all, you'll notice) - I think everyone should make sure they start with "By x x"
- You should have an "About" page; every contributor should have a made up job title "Junior Vice President" etc.

| Yes, I always mean to put a "by luke summerhayes" then forget I assume there's a way to properly author tag it? The about page could be fun. We should do names in a hat like secret santa and write each other's biographies.
I plan to try and write at least one thing for the site, be it review or article, a week. |

And me too - I've been lax this week, but I do have a game I want to write a review for, and I have a massive article on Mother 3 planned out too, so I've got inspiration at least. |
