Nothing major, but I want to explain.
The center column on the homepage now includes the articles written in the columns and the podcasts from Chief. The Game Recaps will also be included in that later.
There will be a sub-forum for game recaps so that they won't make the actual commentary articles hard to find. There is a sub-forum already for every column/podcast thing we have, along with a module for each of them on the homepage.
From now on, if you click on the title of the module on the homepage, it will take you to a separate page that looks much like the homepage, except the center column now contains all of the articles for that column. They will contain a more in depth preview instead of the small one you see on the homepage.
I was starting to feel that we were forgetting about keeping the homepage updated, since we're mostly forum driven. With this change, the homepage will have more content so that visitors that stumble across the web page and will not be seeing dated material before entering the forums.
The only problem I'm having right now is one that was self induced. It is my fault that the title on The Update 2 and 3 is not showing on the homepage and it's separate page, it's the result of merging two posts. It shouldn't be a problem in the future.
Other Randoms:
I've kind of left the roster for dead right now because I want to wait to see who is on the 25-man and only list it. I will update the roster when we know what it is for certain.
Right now the Staff Members are working on what writing responsibilities each of us will have during the season. I will probably be looking for someone in the future to help whoever is writing game recaps. They will come almost every night, so it may be more than a one person job, may take 2 or 3 to do it without burning someone out. If you would be interested in that, PM me and we'll talk about it. Nothing is certain right now, but I could see where that will be needed.
The columns are going to turn to a more baseball related feel than in the past. They have kind of been off-topic/sports related since there hasn't been much baseball news. Hopefully they start coming at a faster pace too. If you want to write a column, much like you would a blog, PM me about that as well. I'm not looking for professional, bi-partisan writing with these, I'm just looking to add some content while involving you guys. I'd like for them to be commentary type blog entries, throw some personality in there and just write about whatever. I would ask that you be consistent, not a daily thing, but just a consistent writing pattern. If you are interested in doing something like that, PM me and we'll discuss in more detail.
I think that's it.
