Yliakum Now - PlaneShift newspaper

gogg: yes, I agree. Maybe we could find a good free one? If not, we could use yours, or I could code one just for the site (great to have free time ).

[Zorium]

Hey if it\'s a newspaper will you allow ic advertising?

I can give you my puzzles. Every newspaper has one.

Great Idea Saint !

Think this will grow and you can start a tabloid ( J/k)
Any way think what it can do ! stuff like wedding invites and Adds

Ok, the amount of comments in such a short time was unexpected... Didn\'t think it\'ll have that kind of support either.
Anyways, I\'ll try to answer to everyone:

Waylander: Threats and treaties are exactly the kind of materials that will go well with the newspaper. Whether they\'re empty or not, it doesn\'t matter.

gogg: Thanks for the new logo, I\'ll upload it when I\'m back from work.

Harwen: Small pics for major articles will be great, if you can do that. And if you got something specific you want to write about, please, PM me!

Kuiper7986: Tell me what you\'re good at, or if you can contribute in any \'behind the scenes\' way, and I\'ll come up with something.

PenguinX: As I said to Harwen, if you got anything you want to write about, PM.

gogg: Thanks for the suggestion, but I don\'t think I\'ll use a portal. Did you build the portal in the link? A PHP site with a database for the articles will be really good.

druke: Yes, .tk, once the site is more than just a sketch I\'ll get a .tk. Hey, maybe I\'ll even get a .com or something

icebr4kr: I got your PM. CSS will be good, yes, but I\'m not sure about HTML. A dynamic site will be better, I won\'t have to switch a few tens of pages every update if it\'s dynamic.

Zorium: Of course! How can a newspaper website be complete without ads? Once CB is out, people will be able to make ads for themselves to be put on the site. Only ic, of course.

lynx_lupo: Puzzles will be really nice. Maybe a comics strip too. But these things are only once the newspaper is up on it\'s feet.


I\'m going to presume that anyone that posted above saying he\'s interested in writing for the newspaper will agree to get a PM from me in case I find something to cover that I can\'t do myself. You\'re in the team.

Those that were interested in designing, the forces can be combined. The person that is good at PHP will build the site itself, the person that is good at CSS will make the all those thingies that are done in CSS, and the person that is good at building databases will do that.
I\'ll make drawings of how I want the site to be in the three diffrent prespectives (PHP, CSS, database) so you can work on it.

You still have to know HTML to make web pages with PHP . PHP generates HTML. Anyway, turns out I am quite knowledgable in PHP and MySQL as well . So I would be happy to take any job from PHP, database, HTML, or CSS that is needed.

If you can\'t find any other PHPers I would make the dynamic part, HTMLers the HTML, CSSers (how can you know HTML without CSS or vice-versa?), etc. Anything is fine with me. Just want to help in some part.

In that case, I\'ll send it all to you, and if there\'s someone else that can do it as well, I\'ll send him too so there will be two choices.


Crj, I didn\'t expect it to be a new idea. Many MMOGs got newspapers. After reading two pages from the Kixie Journal, I can tell you that this newspaper is going to be very diffrent. Nothing about Draklar\'s sexual preference.

[gogg]

I figured there was already a newspaper in existance... you could always combine them though.

[gogg]

Since, I\'m not really needed for php, or whatever I could be art director or something. Anything photoshop should be easy for me to do.

[icebr4kr]

Great gogg, I don\'t have photoshop installed, so it would be great for you to help  with the art.

[Harwen]

You can get the GIMP, its free and just as powerfull as Photoshop with many of the same tools and much more

[PenguinX]

Well Saint, I can\'t really find much to write about until CB begins, or even perhaps when PS is in its full form. However until I find something to write about, you can just ask me to write about something as long as it isn\'t completely boring.

Thanks,
-PenguinX

Can I be the obituarys writer for the newspaper (if you have msn mine is peterjenkinsatntlworld.com and my AIM name is realmwars fan)

PS here is a sample

Name: Doctor Kran
Age: 45
Cause of death: Large hammer to the head
About him:
Old doctor kran was a merry old soul
As the song goes so does he, always helping pepole and never shurking away from a cause noble and true in life and now bloody useless in death.

[SaintNuclear]

You mean writing about someone every time he dies in-game? That\'s alot, and I doubt it\'ll be possible to write about all the deaths.
Besides, after leaving the death realm, the character will be alive again. So there\'s no point to it.
