Today marks the end of the semester at my college, and that means I’ll be doing a lot more in-depth stuff. I can read some stuff I’ve been putting off, make music, and write more. By write more, I don’t just mean here, either! A few days ago I decided almost whimsically to start a news site.
The domain is one that I was using for a multi-user/writer debate blog a few of my friends from thecastsite‘s Philosophy Circle would use, but that didn’t really take off (partially because I had post quality standards that may have been set too high, in regards to tagging, URL SEO, and image positioning/count, all of which slowed down the posting process). Still, a domain name like TimeForMore.Info isn’t too bad for a news site, either (or maybe it is, I tend to be bad at judging that sort of thing). I have a few writers in mind, some of which have already decided to come aboard, but I’m looking for more (from any political background; I’m hoping for a nice variety, actually). There are positions for a few more writers and I’m considering having a political cartoonist. Since I have no idea where to start and we don’t currently have a budget, it’ll pretty much be just freelancing.
You can check the site out right now, but it’s currently being developed, and it’s only me doing it. I’m really happy with the variable writer/topic images in the sidebar. It’s the cleanest, most personal layout I’ve seen on a news page in recent memory.
My last day on campus really had some highs and lows. You may have heard that story from your friend on test day about how they really had to go to the bathroom, but they couldn’t because the test needed to be finished first? That happened to me. It really wasn’t pleasant. Later I ended up not needing to turn in my American History essay. I may post that here later.
Speaking of posts here, since I had to remove the old posts on TFMI, I might repost my own here. Just months ago I was posting some socialist-ish (try repeating that fast!) ideas I had at the time, 50% to get debate going, 50% legit thought. I’ve had a “building on what we currently have set in place versus what I’d do if I started from scratch” conflict of interests for a while now (most of what I’ve posted here as of late have been based on the latter).
Well, I’m going to get back to work on that site. The footer and sidebar need some customization. My nerdy (nerdier) side will return in a few days. Or I might just get hooked on Gran Turismo 5 again.
If you want to write for TimeForMore.Info, contact Steve at the following locations:
• The Futures Passed Forum (Forum account required.)
• Facebook (Account required.)
(Other ways are possible, but having one of these two is recommended at the moment until TFMI has an internal conversation room.)
