Title: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 24, 2010, 05:21:21 PM
Hmmm.... I guess this goes here.

I'm making a blog for the Sharing, and I need some input on what to put on it. Such as contact info, other data, descriptions, their organization's missions, and other stuff. I'm really going to need at least one new entry a week, so yeah. I'm going to post about the kids playing with fireworks in the construction site first!

Thanks for you help in advance!

we need 'web access america' incorporated in here somewhere.
references that the non-readers wouldn't get.

[17:55:33] goom: now we need comments on the blog from RAFians
[17:55:38] warren_bearclaw: I wonder if I'll get any comments from fans, though
[17:55:39] goom: but not too soon after it was made
[17:55:41] warren_bearclaw: Yes!
[17:55:42] goom: i need to 'find it'.
[17:55:44] goom: :)
[17:56:03] goom: and we could have a weekly 'log' of activities that we did
[17:56:06] goom: new members etc.

Maybe their one of our Corporate Sponsors?

how should the commenter 'find' the site?
maybe they could be another member endorsing it.

Yeah, it'll need some endorsements and testimonies!

You can use this site as a reference:

http://sites.google.com/site/thesharingwebsite/home (http://sites.google.com/site/thesharingwebsite/home)

I made it years ago and forgot my username and password to edit it with. Did a good job freaking out the Project AM community, though. :D Feel free to steal anything you'd like from it, as I can't get back into the controls. I also have the AIM username SharingWebsite.  >:D

Nice website. :D

Edit: So, how will people be able to comment, as in, how they found it? :-k
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 25, 2010, 09:12:00 AM
Well, if you go to the blog, you can click on the comments link at the bottom to leave one, or you can click 'follow' at the top right corner.
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: Josh (J) on October 25, 2010, 09:26:48 AM
lol, not that. :P I know how to comment. And I don't have a Blogger profile. But would you rather we comment as 'nice idea, warren' or 'I wanna join the Sharing!!" sort of comments?

This is a good idea ^^

Here a few websites who can give you ideas:

http://www.eccentric-illusions.com/ir/infestright.html (http://www.eccentric-illusions.com/ir/infestright.html)
I always hoped we could have a true website like the last one, to find hosts :P

Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 25, 2010, 10:49:07 AM
@Josh: oh.... sorry. I want to make the blog look legitimate, like it's the real deal. I'm sure there will be some people who say something about the Yeerks or whatever, but we'll just have to say they must be confused.

@Dameg: I like those!  I can't think of a way to link those to the blog without showing that it's fake, but I'll find a way somehow... maybe one of y'all can sneak it into a comment or something...
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: goom on October 25, 2010, 01:47:36 PM
maybe some could ask about it, some could pretend to be in it, some could try and join.
edit: http://www.eccentric-illusions.com/ir/infestright.html
yes! this is what i was looking for earlier!
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: Josh (J) on October 25, 2010, 02:03:42 PM
I think I'll act as someone all willing to join the place!

Warren, these website are dead or just fake. But you can take ideas from them. If you wanna make it looks real, you can add a kind of registration where people have to say things like age, job, if they want to be inside members and some strange questions, not enough explicit to make people think this is an Alien invasion, but just a little... strange ;) You can add name of the known Controller as people to call for this or that, etc.

I'd like to register as a Controller, a Visser from the European Sharing ;) or something like that.

I don't know how to manage an actual website, or one with forms and stuff on it. I'd love to learn, but until then... Does someone want to make one? I'm sure we've got some computer whizzes out there! (www.thesharing.com is an available address!)
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: goom on October 25, 2010, 09:24:14 PM
http://www.bustaname.com/
here's a good reference.

also remember, .net, .org,.biz,.info etc. can be used as alternatives.

maybe the-sharing.org?
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: warren_bearclaw on October 25, 2010, 09:34:09 PM
Oh... I guess that screen means that someone already has the domain name, just hasn't used it yet. I guess... Any website would be fine, so long as it's easy to find (not like
 beapartofsomethingg reater.com, or anything like that).

I can make websites... even if they're not really good ^^' (you can see mine if you delete "Forum/" in the address for my forum). I learned with the "Site du Zero", a website where we can learn HTML, PHP, C++ etc. It's really easy to understand and to learn with it. But it's in French, sowwy ^^'
And I haven't really time to make a new website this year...

 :bump: Anyone have any post suggestions for the blog? And if anyone would go and comment, that would be appreciated! It would boost the authenticity.

It's funny ^^ Is Tom already a Controller in the 1st messages? :P He didn't say that Jake would come to the party with friends... ;)
Really, it's interesting. I'm looking forward the next messages...
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: warren_bearclaw on November 01, 2010, 09:11:30 AM
Yeah, he's already Yeerked. In the next post, I'm going to talk about the party itself... I'll make up some story about someone making a crazy dive in the volleyball game, and I'll say that his brother and friends came out. I'll be sure to mention those kids with the fireworks, too....
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog
Post by: Dameg on November 01, 2010, 09:22:46 AM
It'd be nice if we had more invitations to people who read it to join the Sharing. And maybe make links between 2 or 3 blogs, where various Controllers talk... You see, like one for Tom, one for Chapman...
Title: Re: "The Sharing" Blog

Did you change it so people without a Google profile can comment?

I didn't know I could do that... let me go check it out...

I posted the 1st comment ;) I'll be in your blog same as on RAF or Youtube: A high ranked Controller who live in France.
