I’m looking for some volunteers to help me maintain the site. What I am looking for is someone who can spare about an hour a week maximum. Here are the jobs/qualifications I am looking for:
Job 1 - profile maintenance. This person needs a working knowledge of basic HTML and a reliable email address. Duties would include recieving email with profile information and then using an online form to generate profiles, then editing the Updates page and the Name Index page to reflect new profiles and changes.
Job 2 - map maintenance. This person would need a working knowledge of basic HTML, a working copy of PSP 5.0 or better, and knowledge of working with layers in .psp files. Duties would be updating the “wall map” image and page.
I know exactly zero html, so I can’t help you there. If you would like, though, I’d be willing to rewrite the various help sections, which seem to hark back to AOL. Drop me a line if I can help you maintain your wonderful site.
BurnMeUp: for job 1, probably 15 minutes a week, depending on how fast you are, but never over an hour. Job 2 is gonna take a bit longer in the shortrun, because it is horridly out of date. Once it is caught up, it should take about the same as job1. Job 3 should only take a few minutes of your time
I’m interested in either, Opal. I know enough HTML to have designed all my web pages from scratch (just me typing the commands in a word processing program); they’re nothing spectacular :::insert Laura’s envy of your pages here::: , but they were fun to make.
Burn Me Up has signed on for Job 1, though, and I’m not sure about Job 2. I have no idea what PSP 5.0 is, so I may be disqualified. Anyway…let me know what I can do for yah.
PSP 5.0 (or better) means Paint Shop Pro (either version 5 or 6) which you can download at www.jasc.com
I’ve had 3 volunteers for Job 1, so I need to talk with you all to see who would be best qualified… or the job could be shared. Up to you. Please email me and we’ll discuss
I can do Job 2, though I’m afraid all I have is this pissy little program called Photoshop 5. Will that be okay? I sort of know how to use it, as I have been web designing for two years using it. But it’s no PSP.
Seriously, though. Check out my stuff via my website (in my profile I think) if you wanna know if I’m capable.
“So what you are telling me, Percy, is that something you have never seen is slightly less blue than something else that you have never seen.”
Guano: Does it support .psp files? I have Photoshop, but frankly I never use it, because it hogs my resources. Let me know
Everyone who wants Job 1: I could either set up a team or set up a rotation… I do have some other parts of the site that need to be worked on though… so if one of you wanted to take over the Purity Score page instead, and someone wanted to take over the Addict Score Page, that would be great. Fight among yourselves…
Also wanted but not NEEDED, is someone with a good sense of creativity with an interest in story illustration, to convert text entries into engaging story pages for the Tales section. You’d need to know HTML and a graphics program capable of generating .jpg and .gif files, and be willing/able to come up with catchy titles for stories.
