The wonderful thing about the internet is a lot of similar information presented in a lot of different ways from from different people in different parts of the word with different perspectives.

The thought is to have our great members work together to create content that is unique to them and their experiences in an organized manner.

So, we've been tossing around an idea: To have contests or rewards for people that write good, relevant, quality articles for us to post on the sites.

So, what do y'all think?
I think you could have Dacjohns edit them all for grammar.

Then its settled....submit all articles to Dac for editing. Got it! :D

Just think, dac...it could save you from having to grimace and give a full body shudder when you read them later! ;)

While you are at it, could you encourage the use of paragraphs? Very exhausting reading whole and lengthy posts with no paragraphs. :p
 

enjoy the ride

All in good time. As you can imagine, with Spring on us I'm pretty busy.

With that said, if those of you with good writing skills want to go ahead and start writing a few articles (for TEG or SS) that would be great!

I'm thinking we can do this a couple ways. For the BYC coop contests we give a single prize to a winner among many submissions. For coops we pretty much add any that are submitted. For articles to be posted on the main parts of TEG or SS we'll be a bit more picky about the quality... kinda like we're picky about the BYC Pic of the week.

Since so many members from TEG and SS are from BYC, my first thought is to give out free BYC Golden Feather Memberships (to use for oneself or give as a gift) for every 2-4 articles that are approved and posted on the sites.

What do you guys think?

Sounds good to me. Now I just have to get motivated and inspired.
