Wanted: Bloggers / Writers - BLOGS FORUM NOW OPEN!

BDG · Last edited by BDG on Thu Oct 18, 2007 1:06 pm; edited 2 times in total

I'm really starting to lean toward closing off our current blogs section, because it's just a place for people to post their own one-liners on groundless trade ideas and brief Laker comments.

Not entertaining or productive for the site in the least.

So instead, I figure if we can round up a few of our own bloggers / writers, we can save the section.

If you are interested in writing original content for our front page, PM myself (BDG) with a sample of your work (preferably a Laker-related article).

It could be current or old. Doesn't matter -- as long as it's yours.

Above all else, it should be something entertaining and/or informative that we can all read.

Again, your material will be published on the front page.

If you don't think you'll have the time to be somewhat consistent with your writing output, I don't recommend you apply. To give you an idea . . . once a day would be absolutely fantastic, once a week would be around the minimum.

Honestly, I don't really expect anyone to do one a day, but if you can, it's definitely welcomed. Keep in mind that although, we're looking for people that will stay committed to writing, these are loose standards and definitely can be bent to fit your schedule.

Our members will be able to discuss/react to your articles when you post them in Lakers Discussion as well.

Good luck. Feel free to ask any questions here!

Note: Please don't PM staff for an update on whether or not we like your writing. We'll contact you if we do.

I actually planned on using the current Blog option for when the season starts to write about each game and what ever is in the news for that day as well. I don't currently have anything, and honestly don't know if I have much material right now to write about, but it is something I'd highly consider and love to do once we get some more news going around.

^ There's no word limit or minimum . . . but keep in mind it has to be an article that is long enough to entertain the reader for a few minutes.

I think you will have more applications if you recruit more people, but allow them to write less. Writing 1 a day seems like a second job to me, and after a long day at work, there is little time left to write anything. If you can get like 5 guys, and allow them to write like 1 article per 2 weeks each, I think you will still get very good content (1 new article for every 2-3 days) and actually have something to write about. (things need to be developed and thought out too) It should be more about content than volume. That is just my opinion. My hats off to anyone writing 1 a day.

^ You're right jimbo. In fact, I probably didn't really word it right. I don't really expect anyone to do one a day, but if they can, it's amazing and welcomed.

I'll edit my original post. man11

I'm going to do this. I plan doing one a day too...I don't know if it will be through the ClubLakers site though...I'd still like them to be on here somehow, if worthy. I have breaks everyday at work and it would be great for me to get in some blogging..
