Vexel Article - About the article system - by Linda
I created this article page to let everybody have the chance to contribute to the site.
The difference between the articles and the message board is that with the message board - it's more about discussion, asking questions, getting ideas and talking back and forward. Posting an article is more like a statement, you're not asking the other members questions, though everybody can still comment.
You can post pretty much anything that has to do with vexels and doesn't really fit in the message board area. You can choose a user to put in the spotlight, write about them and show some of their vexels to everybody. The only thing I ask is no personal hate articles :p You could even just write up a story about why you love vexelling so much :D
HTML is enabled so you can put in images, links, tables etc as you normally would. BBcode is disabled though (it's too confusing with both). If you're going to use images, I will save them to this server before putting them up so you don't have to worry about bandwidth or anything. I also ask that you don't go and use huge hot pink fonts - I'll change it back anyway.
I will read through all articles before approving them, I'll allow anything so long as it's not silly, too similar to a previous article (though different opinions on the same topic can be interesting) or offensive or you know the jazz. It doesn't have to be long but more than a sentence or two would be nice!
Umm I think that's all, hopefully people will find something to write about :D

Oh, sounds like fun. I'll try to write up something whenever I am not vexeling :) |
| IAmTheWalrus | Ooo very cool! So it's a bit like an unofficial vexel e-zine... Awesome. |
| Echoia | *looks at the tooting Linda* yes... Heh. I think this is a great idea. I've been wanting to write articles about something design-related again for a while but don't feel like figuring out how to organize and maintain them for Echoia. I think this lends to a higher probability of people actually -reading- a person's opinion rather than halfway reading them and then deciding to respond. Hopefully... . |
