som, you've been mightygeeked! (doc, you're up next) http://www.mightygeek.com/2011/games/disposable-income-video-games-wasted-money-now-can/i've made "SOMe" changes (hahahaha!! HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!) 1) added a header image 2) added tags 3) added "disposable income" to the title - it beefed it up a bit, to the 70 character limit, and i also thought it sounded like an awesome on-going feature type, about all the stupid shit we waste money on. and, i believe, that is all!

I'm just glad I bumped off Doog and Pro's features off the frontpage.
Did you see that, Doog and Pro? Gaze at the sheer amount of my penis that you are sucking right now!
...and I think I like the idea of an ongoing disposable income. I buy a lot of cheap gadgets from China.

Take your time. It's not like the news will be two days old by then. you can't out prima donna me on my own site! im still working through all the kinds (teehee!) but site production is coming along (...snicker!) post should be up and running now: http://www.mightygeek.com/2011/tv/neil-gaiman-shares-production-image-simpsons-november-13th-ep/some tweaks! 1) title beefery 2) i re-uploaded the image to the mightygeek system 3) added a "new window" hitch to the whosay link. ...and i think that's it.

i also now have an alert system, so i should get emails when new posts are sent to "pending"
also, lest any future feelings be hurt, once the site IS at a "full steam" type level, i hope to have 3-5 new posts running each day, the bulk of which ill be responsible for (stealing from other similar sites). but just wanted to offer the heads up, so no one feels bad if their post isn't on the feature display section forever.
the reasoning, with extraordinarily few exceptions, is that blog-style formatted sites (ala joystiq / kotaku / even even lowly toonbarn) gain popularity on new updates, all the time. but, fear not, old content isn't "lost", or really even "buried". everything is archived and, because of all this proper nerdery i've been doing, will be fully SEO compliant and findable by anyone searching for them. ...forever!!!!

Check out the front page of Cracked.com, they run 4 articles a day but you can still see articles from a week ago. They got a lot of "they changed it so it sucks" posts when this happened but the redesign is working really well, traffic-wise.

Sent another one, Bobo. Still having trouble with the home computer, so I've only sent a brief mock up of the pics with no Photoshopping and such. Do with it as you please.

OK, for reference, here's how i've broken down the various categories, and some example topics in each: - Comics - comic books, super hero movies (dc comics reboot, superman)
Games - video games (suepr mario, halo, wii-u)
Geeky - science articles (technology, comet discoveries, crystal mines)
Girls - hot girls, sex stuff (Sofia Vergara, Angelina Jolie, new condoms)
Movies - movies, dvds, blu-ray (Batman Begins, Mission Impossible 4)
Sports - baseball, wrestling (WWE, TNA, fantasy baseball stats)
Toys - action figures, gadgets, (new iphone, DC Direct statues)
TV - new shows, series favorites (LOST, The Simpsons, Louie)
Web - internet, youtube videos, MEMEs (demotiviational posters)
so what do you think, are there any geeky subjects missing? better ways to group or classify? better title names to reference with?

Combine some of those. I'd combine movies, TV, games, & web categories as to not overwhelm random traffic just perusing the site. The less categories, the more chance they'll see something that catches their interest. Potheads go there and are like, "Um. I want pretty pictures about movies and tv shows and superheroes and holy shit do I have any oreos left..." They have a less chance of stumbling on a movie topic that will keep them there if it's resigned ONLY to the movies category. If it's in "Media" (games, tv, movies, web) then they could run across any number of articles from those various platforms that would lead them on to others. And hey, I'm high right now, so I know what I'm talking about...

Potheads don't need broader categories. They'll stare at a blank screen for half an hour before remembering to turn their computer on. I think, as of now, the categories are okay; but I do see the logic in combining TV/Movies and Games/Web.

typically, i'm more in favor of combining sections, rather than spreading them out. especially early on, as i like having sections filled with content, and that's easier to do when there are less sections.
the reason i broke these out as is (and not saying this is the right way, or the way it will stay) is because i felt it best spread out our chances at grabbing individual groups. people just looking for comics, or just sports. each of the individual sections acts as its own homepage, and it's own SEO beacon. in other words, it's more efficient and more effective to tag for "movie news" when it is it's own section.

I'm actually gonna look into how much a fitted cap or beanie would cost with your current logo. I wear hats all the time, 'specially in winter and I'm totally willing to pimp your site to the mutated masses in greater NE Ohio

just sentcha an email about it!
you got scooped with a mxy article like 4 minutes earlier! different
subject, tho, so no worries.
that aside, i've queued yours up ready to launch tonight at 7pm EST
only made a few slight tweaks to yours:
1) added a new header image that fits the proper size format (moved the other one lower down)
2) added a MORE tag after the first paragraphed
3) rewrote the title a bit to fit the google limits - i THINK it has the same meaning as your intention, you tell me:
Amazon Takes on Apple iPad with Kindle Fire. "Two Tablets Enter..."
otherwise, it's golden!
