I was talking with Rocket about the new botm badge to match the new style and we started talking about blogs for some reason.
I said that I wasn't near active on the vBulletinSetup one as I should, then it hit me. we should offer articles written by the members here to be on the front page
I've seen several great articles spring up lately that it would be an honor if they would have been posted on the blog. The only downfall is the only registered members on the blog, are mostly spammers.. We might have 1% actual members, but most of the time, it's spam bots.. So I have the comments shut down. We could just link to the article that is posted in the forum, or do something like Earners Forums down, where Lee will just post a thread with the article title, but a link to the blog post saying something like "Discusses this article"
I don't know, it's something to think about. I'm down for allowing some of the members to submit their own articles with up to 3 links added.. either in text or at the end.. like
home site:
business site1:
business site2:

If you are interested, please register on the blog while we work the details out.

What do you mean ?
They can be posted on your forums or blogs as well, but I would like them to be unique written by you or by who ever you might pay to have articles written. Oh, and I would like the articles to be helpful for webmastes, in otherwords, I don't think we would want an article about cars on that blog.

What to look for when buying Art - vBulletin Setup

If it was a webmaster related article, I wouldn't have any problem with having three links in text pointing to your site or if you wanted, different parts of our site

Thank you
Dave, Bryce and Blake for signing up.
You all should have your own panel where you can make a post. That post will then go into moderation and I should get an email. I see a test post in moderation but I didn't get the email.. Maybe I have to add it somewhere..

Still looking for more that would like the exposure
Oh, did I forget to mention, the blog is a pr5 and several post have PR as well
