K.Blas, author of one of my favorite blogs, Painting with Coffee, volunteered to undertake a major project for the HoP. I'm particularly stoked about this since it's not just an amazing display of selfless community spirit*, but it's also something that Lauby and I were not looking forward to doing- and did I mention we really think this is going to help you out?
Starting pretty much right now, k.Blas will be taking charge of indexing all of our member's pages. He'll be putting together a page with an alphabetical list of all of your sites and is even going to include a brief description of your site. Please leave a brief synopsis of what your site is all about in the comments thread of this post and we'll be sure to add it to your entry(ies). Don't think of this as so much a way to pigeonhole yourself, but really to rock your search engine optimization.
What are the final entries going to look like? Not sure really, we're leaving that in Blas' hands. He proposed something like this a few weeks ago:
Dethtron
Asshatery, Rock and Roll
That looks pretty solid to me, although I think you should add in the game system(s) that you write about. Just keep it to short 1 or 2 word tags and we'll see what we can do to help you. Your entry may then look something like:
Dethtron
40K, WFB, pants, Asshatery, Rock and Roll
We'll obviously have everything cleaned up and not centered on the page (it's just easier to call attention to the entry style here). If you don't have anything in to us by this time next week, we're going to have to brand your site ourselves. Not only is that a huge pain in the ass, but we think you can probably explain what you do better than we can. Do yourself and us a favor and submit your own synopsis.
The join us page will be updated shortly to include this information as an entry requirement.
Thanks for helping us out with this everyone, especially k.Blas, and I'm looking forward to reading your responses.
