News Topics

[Duke]

Just curious as to what kind of topics you'd most like to see covered on the front page.

Thanks.

I'd like to see something about troubled teens, teen pregnancy, underage drinking, drugs....more teen issues.

there are more parents out there then people realize where this is a huge issue in their household. Where their teen's behaviour is out of the norm and out of control.

Consider it done, thanks for the input Star.

Anyone else have topics they wish would be covered on our news page?

The topics we can do are almost limitless, most of the things related to technology, hobbies and gaming can be put on the other sites but other then that the sky is the limit. What I'm looking forward to seeing is having a network wide news feed where I can add news on FT and it shows up on LS, HU, KZ, and vice versa, that'll add a lot more content to the sites and make the news page a bit less stagnant.

I'm starting to add news more frequently to the main page here but it is a bit of work as I'm sure you know. I'm also not much of a "copy and paste" guy so putting up news always seems to take me longer. If I can get a new news article on the main page here every second or third day, then I'm a happy camper.

The news feeds are a great idea but I don't think I'd like to see an entire article show up here from any other site, especially H-U where the articles are huge in nature. Maybe if it were a feed that included the title name and first sentence in a mini-block on the top of the main page with a re-direct to the actual news page of that site., then I'd be happy.

That's a good point, it'd be nice if the article were available for all sites but you could select relevant content to show and the other ones just to be links that are archived after a couple days. Something like that.
