| Jan132009 | Eighteen Consecutive Posts About Revenge Sex |
So I actually swore off the whole “Let’s Make a New Indie Bloggers” idea but after some encouragement from Ashley, I figured, “What have I got to lose?” At the most, maybe $10 in domain registration costs and a few hours of my life. It’s still cheaper than taking up smoking.
I’ve been thinking about it. The reason Indie Bloggers shut down remains a mystery but if I had to guess, it was because there was too much work involved in reading submissions and scheduling them. Either way, massive props go out to Stacy for making it such a worthwhile site stocked with rich content and no advertising. I’m sure it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get the site to where it was.
I’m approaching this idea from an engineering perspective. I’m slowly pulling together a site that rigs a submission form to post directly into WordPress. Then I can have moderators log in and approve whichever submissions are good enough to be published. The final part is the scheduling. I could either have a bot that comes in and schedules posts based on the date they were approved or I could just manually schedule things so that way we don’t get eighteen consecutive posts about revenge sex. TO BE DECIDED.
Anyway, drop me an email if you’d like to be one of the first submitters to the site. Or maybe if you want to be a moderator. No promises if this site will even get any readers but it will be a good exercise.
