Looking for Contributing Editors
As NT moves closer and closer to the new platform, I would like to introduce a new feature that will highlight our best writers here. So to that end, I have just introduced a "Contributing Editors". Anyone who has an original piece of journalism on any timely topic can submit. Right now our space to the right is limited, but in the future, there will be more forums and more space for this. If you would like to be a part of this endeavor, please contact me.
I'd like more info as you have it, but otherwise, I'm in.
Same here!
Humm.. Why do I get the feeling that is a loaded question?
On the new platform there will be a page for almost any topic, so I guess that means yes, so long as it meets around 200 word min.
Wonderful Mac!
Really glad to have you sign on, Dowser!
Maybe I could too, Perrie...if the topics can be non-political. Am I to understand they should be current topics on anything at all?
BF,
We seldom agree but I'd like to see you in the mix.
On any topic. Looking for quality not quantity. Look at our first from Robert in Ohio. It's on the left side of the homepage.
The more hair I lose
The more head I get.
And this, while not a great fish
I know! Red that line over and over for the first 4 years of elementary school.
I think that's great, Perrie! More 'topic' specific, it sounds; more like the old Vine. Love it! I don't have any ideas at the moment, but a more topic-generated author, that we learn to understand and know, can create a loyal readership that can be beneficial to both the author and the reader. I hope I'm interpreting your meaning in how this is different from what authors are doing now?
I could use the brush up, so no.
Kind of like that. Instead of our tabs being archives for older articles, they will be like they were on NV. Kind of more like the pages of a paper, each having a place for original work and it's own forum.
I have an idea. I will send you an e mail.
Thanks! Sounds good. Similar to what FB is doing, maybe.
Thank you! I'll do my best!
Perrie, my articles on Mummies are original, and I'll be adding another one today-- can they be featured, as well? (On the right side?) Thanks!
Great Grump!
Good Question Randy
Writing it as an editorial means that you would get a by line. It would also be reviewed by me before it goes to print, so to speak.
After that, you could decide if you want to take comments or have it as a stand alone piece. You can't do this on the forum, since it would fall off the board.
The best way to get an idea of what I am talking about is to go look at the Huff. I like the way they have their page arranged.
Perrie, Essentially, it's like the Blog pieces now, but would be attached (for programming purposes) to the FP instead of one's Homepage ?
What is a "by line"?
Chloe,
Well yes and no. The blogs now are not by topic. They are not reviewed by me. A by line means that you have your name featured. They would look more like this:
I think it looks great!
Perrie,
Ok... Cool! Thanks!
At least 200 words ? But ... but ... that's the size of my entire vocabulary . Can I use those words more than once in an article ??
Ill see that fish and raise you 1 five pound brown caught on 6 pound test and an ultra light set up
I will, of course, write on subjects that I'm very familiar with. Wacko's, and Dipshits. Oh wait, sorry, I thought this was ''Heated Discussions''..
Badfish made me write this.
LOL, BF, you changed your avatar again.
Petey, for example...But, but, but...It works.
Justice, if BF's avatar was a real bad fish. Say, a ''Great White'', then I would not make comments about him. But since it's a goldfish in a bowl, well, he's fair fish.
OK sorry Dowser. I didn't realize that they were original pieces. I'll get it up.... wait that doesn't sound right...
Nice catch human guy. What did you do with Mark?
Ummmm...yes..errr... Ummm...sure yes How many words is that?
so does...
butt, butt, butt.
Does this mean 3 pics of J-Lo would be acceptable ?
Me too... I literally laughed out loud at BF's lint article!! Even John can make me laugh (gotta tease you too, JR:)
There will be a place for that, Raven. The point of this is to bring up the quality of the sites writing and to the contributing editors as true journalist.
Butt of course it would Petey.
Now if Badfish jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge.....
Where is my dunce cap? [looks in back closet for dunce cap]
He's a freakin gold fish. You know how dumb blonds are.
lol!!!
He's a fish Perrie, what the hell do you think would happen to him. ''Splish Splash'' I was taken a bath...
Nice catch, Mark!
Dueling fish pics! My turn.
Nice Smallie.
You would be great, flameaway!
The first might not pass inspection, but the second sounds like a good idea. They watch tv, so it should work. Higher IQs would be great. My Chia pet really needs help in the 'brains' department. Shhhhh... don't want to hurt his feelings.
LOL that's me Perri , before I got sick , before I got divorced , and before I quit shaving....
That is a
nice fish Mac, but these 2 pictures are a couple of my favs the first is the grand daughters first fish , a cutthroat , the second pic if you ask her who caught the big fish , she will say she did .
I'm in.
Where do I sign?
Nice Brownie! must have been a long play...
Raven Wing said:But, nothing of politics or religion. I am sick of both of them. Just something interesting.
Laughter peels off of my computer screen and bounces around the room....
Just sharing the deliciousness of that statement.
That is a funny description Mark. Kind of makes you sound like a gorilla, LOL.
It would be what ever you wanted to write about. We will have a forum for each.
Sounds good to me Flame!
Right here on the dotted line
Wow! Great idea Perrie, it adds a nice profession touch to the front page, I would like to participate.
That line looks highly curved ... not dotted . What fluid can I write in to make it official ?!
Great idea; count me in!
:~)
I'm just now reading this. But I could be interested in it as well.
