Philotic Web

B-W: first, awesome for getting the IMDB thing going! Thanks a bunch. I guess now that we know who Ender is going to be (that's not Ender, pfft...different topic, different thread), we can tweet that info, too, if it hasn't been done yet. Yes, exactly! I think anyone who has been given the account ...

A key part of that is completely up to the publisher, and not amazon.

There's also a very young and dorky photo of me (and Ollie, Kennender, and others) at dinner with OSC, and some of my very first movie posters from the Jake Lloyd days. Wow.

Now I understand how George Lucas feels about the Holiday Special.

Holy crap. There's some stuff of mine in Ami's archive zip I never thought I'd see again, like the 3D models I made in college of the Battle School, and the Giant's Drink!

MY mind is blown.

Jayelle, you've got a password in your PMs.

Jayelle:

Would you like your userid on the PWEB blog to be 'Jayelle', or would you prefer something else?

Apart from some more minor tweaks (can't help myself!), I added a 'Featured Page' to the right sidebar. Currently, it's 'Shadows in Flight', which acts as a link to what will be LilBee's Shadows in Flight info page. I view the 'Featured Page' as a way to keep one particularly cool new feature highli...

I tweaked the layout/colors/logo again. For a little more familiarity/continuity

Why reinvent the wheel, right?

The strip with the 'classic' cover can be periodically switched out/updated as desired.

Agreed.

None have volunteered yet.

Awesomeness.

GravityDefier and LilBee: Just wondering which comic series do you have? I noticed there's a bunch now, from the books adaptations ( EG:Battle School , EG:Command School , ES: Battle School , ES: Command School , War of Gifts , Speaker for the Dead , Ender in Exile ) , to the Formic Wars:Burning Ear...

@Philotic_Web:

Great work setting up the twitter feed. I'd suggest hashtagging #endersgame somewhere in the upcoming tweets where you can. I checked, and #Ender doesn't appear to be nearly as relevant for our purposes as #Endersgame in total.

LilBee:

I could have sworn I sent you that info in a PM yesterday, but records show I didn't. Must've been a hiccup or user error or something.
Anyway, PM sent. Let me know if you have any questions.

Awesome! Now everyone on here who is on twitter, go ahead and follow Philotic_Web, and retweet some of the news stuff. That will make your followers aware of Philotic_Web's twitter presence, and those interested will begin to follow, retweet, etc. A couple suggestions: 1. Fill in your profile image....

I'd just call it ThePhiloticWeb, or PWeb, or PWEB_(yourname). I don't see any need to differentiate it - eventually you'll get followers, and you'll reTweet the news you do find for those who follow you.

Awesome! I will set you up as a content creator on the site so you can play around with it. Would you like to post as LilBee91, or would you like a separate name for use on the front page? If you don't already do so, I suggest checking out the About Orson Scott Card forum over at Hatrack - that's wh...

I think that would be a great idea for B_W, and/or anyone else to claim those specific tasks, A, B, and C. We should have one individual each for A and C, but we can have many individuals on the lookout for B. A) SOCIAL MEDIA : * Setup a PhiloticWeb twitter account, and begin to find and follow rele...

In the vein of this, I just put up a placeholder post up at http://thephiloticweb.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with a blast-from-the-past EnderCon 2002 picture up to represent 'community'. Or whatever. You know, for kids.

*grin* If fun is the prerequisite, I won't be as much help as I was hoping to be, ultimately. This is just to clarify where I'm approaching this project from, if it matters or helps to explain anything. This has always been a means to an end for me. I am not an Ender fangirl, or if I am, not nearly...

To repeat, I think before deciding on anything you want to do, you (the general you) should repeat to yourself the mantra/question: "Will this be fun, or add stress to my life?"

If stress, then pass on it. If fun, by all means, run with it!

:) My thought were that throwing together podcasts, videocasts, etc do require a substantial bit of time, and in and of themselves are, as you described them, based on additional findings and research. I say separate those categories, and get the posts reporting on existing material going before we ...

I love the idea of regular themed podcasts/vcasts, if there are people who would be willing and able to do them. Of course, that's a big IF ;) Also, for Twitter, I do think we will want a PWEB account that can be used as a great hub. Not only to follow individuals, but to ReTweet news to their own f...

I think we should have the old stuff up. We could do an old stuff category for the blog/feed thing. Is there a way we could put it all up on the website and then have a regular posting of "hey, did you see this cool thing on our site?" Is the Wordpress thing going to be the bulk of our co...

I think random old 'Didja Know?' stuff would be great for a regular feature. A lot of stuff that is old is still new to probably most of fandom. I like the idea of presenting this stuff as perhaps a series, for those interested. A regular day could also be set apart for making a 'Covers' post, with ...

I appended a list of those who have currently volunteered to the end of the OP so we can keep track of what we have, and what we need.

You too, Wind Swept. Any of you who have expressed an interest in contributing technical and design work on the site, head on over to the other thread, talk about it, and we'll get things set up.

I also don't want to take anything away from those who have been working on the design and tech aspects of it. I would be happy to set up admin-permissions accounts on the site to tinker and play. I'm serious when I say I want to be a facilitator and organizer. I want you to get all the credit and t...

I've been doing this all wrong.

Wil, would you like me to set you up an admin account that would let you get in and get full control of the templates/design? I would be happy to turn design and design implementation over to you.

I've been playing around a little tonight. But I'm done for the night. It's nowhere near where I'd like it, but I'll play with it some more later. (I'm not happy at all with the font style, size, etc)

Does this help put at ease your sensibilities a little?

I'm going to branch off from the thread here . The discussion lead to the decision to go ahead and make plans to re-launch a web site presence for PWEB. Because I think one is far more motivated to sculpt when there's a lump of clay in front of them, I went ahead and set up http://thephiloticweb.net...

Heh. That's actually how I write. I haven't used lowercase letters in handwritten stuff in...over a decade.

Again, the logo that's up can certainly just be a placeholder.

Please don't share this link yet with the Outside World: To show that I'm serious about this, I've set up a basic framework over at http://thephiloticweb.net , along with a couple sample posts, not designed at all to be actual finalized news items, but just examples of concept. Alright. Who wants to...

I want to make something VERY clear. I have no desire to usurp, or step on anyone's toes. I recognize my lack of place within the current community. I do not desire to assert rights as a mod when it comes to board administration. What I do want to do is be a facilitator, and perhaps organizer, and d...
