Season 19 NDL: ESPN Staff

Post by Uuaww »

I am posting this here because keeping up with the massive amount of PMs is impossible. It will also give everyone a common ground to discuss and ask for help if needed. My PM box fills too quickly and I need to save it for articles from you guys.
First off, DO NOT post articles here.

The outlook for season 19 and beyond: The goal of this season is complete integration with the site. We are going to be using the homepage more and more. What me and Holmey are working on is having the media page to work with our articles. On the homepage will be the latest article from whoever. To the right will be the last 5 posted articles. Holmey is gonna give me access to post on that page, so if you want your articles there, pm me and I'll post them. If you want to post them on the boards, you can, it is your choice. I am asking that you please use the website though as it really really help out. If you don't want to post in the forums, that is your choice. I'll create a topic every week that you can post your articles in, you can use it or make your own topic, up to you.

The Staff is as follows:

Uuaww: Head of NDL: ESPN
Ank: Senior writer
6ftdeep: Senior writer

dolemitesooner: Full writer
sammy33:Full writer

Jsence2: Junior writer
nick: Junior writer
UnTouchable8: Junior writer
Champdizzle: Junior writer

Games of the Week- Ank (even), 6ftdeep (odd), nick (random)
Midmajor Games of the Week- Champdizzle (even), Untouchable8 (odd)
Upset Alert- 6ftdeep
Game of the Weak- dolemitesooner
Bitter Rivals- Sammy33
NDL Cup Watch- Uuaww, nick
Heisman Watch- Ank
Ware Watch- dolemitesooner
Interception Challenge- Jsence2
Flavorful 8- Jsence2
Pick 6- 6ftdeep picks his top 6 teams
Bottom 10- dolemitesooner
Weekly Rant- anyone who wants it
Island Fever (will be an in-depth look at the Top 25)- Uuaww
The Next 25- Sammy33
Champdizzle and Untouchable8 will hopefully be adding another article with coaches interviews and/or quick picks

Junior writers, if you have questions and I am not available, feel free to ask a senior or full member. Each writer has strengths and can help you out if you run into trouble.

Above all else, DO NOT QUIT. If you need to resign, and stop writing, LET US KNOW. We can cover for you. If you need to miss a week, LET US KNOW, we will figure it out. The worst thing you can do is just stop writing. A few of you have done it in the past, and you know who you are. If you do it once this year, we will have someone else replace take over your articles.

If you are wondering when your articles are due, the traditional time has been every Thursday/Friday. This is the opportune time to have your articles written due to AJ opening games Friday night. So the weeks games have been played but the next weeks (that we are often highlighting) haven't been played.
Preview articles (Games of the Week, Bitter Rivals, Upset Alert, Game of the Weak) are the most imparitive to get done as close to this time as possible. More leeway is given with review articles (Top 25, Watches, etc.)

I know I said I would do some graphics last year, but I just ran out of time. If you want anything, or want some new designs let me know.

Alright guys a few things for your articles, which so far look great.

1. Don't use quotes, single or double. Also no 6'1" etc. For some reason you can't use them for input on the media page. So avoid them.
2. Avoid color... for now. Everything on the media page is done in html, which I am still getting the hang of. Until then, avoid using color. Me and Holmey are still working out a few kinks, but so far, everything is golden.

In case you were wondering where your article go are....
Games of the Week- don't have a tab, they will appear under Games of the Week, click the match-up on the site to see your articles.
NDL Cup Coverage- is just that
This Week in the NDL- covers Game of Weak, Bitter Rivals, Upset Alert
Island Fever- Covers Island Fever, Top 25 Coverage, The Next 25, Flavorful 8, 6ftdeep's Pick 6 and Bottom 10
Weekly Rant- Covers Weekly Rant
Award Watch- covers Interception challenge and Ware/Heisman Watch
Reviews/Interviews- Covers everything else and freelance stuff.

Great first week guys. Keep it coming, lets try to get as much in as possible before next week opens. Friday is the target date for Matchup articles.

Quotes can now be used in articles. Still haven't figured out color and I will most likely switch it to bold/italics if you use it.

I wanted to apologize to the staff for not having the game of the week out for this block with all the great games on tap.. Some things came up that prevented me from working on everything and putting out a finished product. I have been working on improving the whole feel of it, and how the video syncs with the commentary so that it has an overall more polished look and sound. Because of this and the improvements with some helps on the graphical front. I did not want to put out a half finished or rush product knowing how much better it could be. As a result I miss out on the these weeks game sadly. And I apologize.. But I think the finished product and subsequent releases of it will be worth it.

oh go ahead and use it. I just ignore it if I post it, if Holmey does it, he'll include it. Just don't base the article on it.
