Tyler is a Moron, etc.
This is about as official a notice as you people are going to get, so pay attention.
Yeah, when Tyler said to get over the fact that the blog looks like crap right now, and to start posting, he made a grave error. Yes, the blog is a pile of shit right now. No, we shouldn't really start posting yet. I am aware of the unreadable yellow text, among many other problems. I'd like to try to make the blog nicer before we start posting. Actually, I'm going to try to figure out how to allow the people who know a little more about web design than myself (*cough* Vincey *cough*) to have a crack at this bitch, and try to make it a little nicer. I know there's a way to let other people besides myself actually play around with the layout, but I can't figure it out. When I do, you will be notified. And I will beg you to help me.
Anyway, I'm going to delete your guys' posts so we can start over fresh when we are actually ready. I think that our first post should be something a little better than what Tyler did, in his fit to be the first person to post. And the subsequent posts shouldn't be everyone asking confused questions. I'll try to start a thread on facebook so if anyone wants to talk about this thing we can do it there. I'll delete this message in a couple of days, and then we can start writing real posts.
Now, this blog doesn't really have to have a "point" if you don't want it to. You can just post diary entry type things, random thoughts, poetry/prose, whatever. I don't know if anybody would rather have the blog be more focused, around a central topic or theme-- but if you do, that would be fine. I guess we'll have to vote, or something. The reason I started it was because I'm super-sticky-sentimental and I like writing, so I wanted some kind of record of our group dynamic, and of what everyone is thinking/feeling. At some point, I'll write a "mission statement" type thing, even if that mission is just to write random shit. Um. Yeah.
Sorry about explaining everything lousily. But, yeah. This should be really fun.
Talk to you in a couple of days, and sorry about the confusion/bad planning.
