January 2, 201114 yr Author The award thing sounds interesting, but right now we're busy with setting up the blog and it's features. I'm flippin' between flickr, twitter, facebook and wordpress trying to get everything set up decently. And one thing's for sure - I'm no good at tech stuff The blog is new - it launched on January 1st 2011 - so if you haven't seen it before that - well then that's why. Wether or not it becomes the portal for the Star Wars Forum I don't know at this point. Do we want contributors? Perhaps in time - but not now. It all depends on how many views it gets and how useful it is. It uses a different code than these boards and it's annoying to work 2 different codes all the time. At least it seems like it uses a different code - see what I mean about "no good at tech stuff"? I'll try to blog as much as possible there. In a little while I'll make an "announcement" of the official blog opening. EurobricksStarWarsForum.com

Thanks for all the stuff you do around the forums, you do a great job
January 2, 201114 yr Hey kim the classic-pirates blog runs on wordpress too, let me know if you have any questions.
January 2, 201114 yr Author Hey kim the classic-pirates blog runs on wordpress too, let me know if you have any questions. No doubt I'll have a zillion questions I want those links you've got at the top. Better drag you and some shipyardigans into this initial phase
January 4, 201114 yr This looks really good but for people like me with enought time; it takes the fun out of scouring the forum for these articles. Perhaps some exclusive (or at least, temporarily exclusive) articles would make this a must bookmark
January 4, 201114 yr Author That might not be impossible. But for now it wont happen. First thing is to get the blog up and running and then we've increased the amount of contributors we'd consider such things. But thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated.
January 4, 201114 yr Do we want contributors? Perhaps in time - but not now. I'll try to blog as much as possible there. Your doing great Kim! contributors ehh, Im interested, but im guessing this is a staff appointment, not a choice? CF
January 4, 201114 yr Yeah, it's a staff job so far. We are allowed to comment on you blog posts though? CF
January 4, 201114 yr Author We are allowed to comment on you blog posts though? CF Of course you are - otherwise I'd turned off that feature.
January 4, 201114 yr I always wondered why the Star Wars forum never had it's own blog. I was sure that the interest will prove to be successful and attract a good amount of attention. I see a good amount of posts up so far
January 4, 201114 yr Of course you are - otherwise I'd turned off that feature. Cool, I commented on the new DK book. How does the profile thing work? The classic pirates blog just uses your EB account, so how does the SW blog work? Sorry for all the questions... CF
January 4, 201114 yr Author Getting tehnical on me, are you? I have no idea - I just made an account with wordpress and started from there.
January 4, 201114 yr Getting tehnical on me, are you? I have no idea - I just made an account with wordpress and started from there. Sorry. Right, I shall do the same. CF
January 5, 201114 yr Author Sorry. Right, I shall do the same. CF Don't be sorry. I obviously forgot a to show that I was making fun of my own uselessness with the code and setup of a blog
January 5, 201114 yr Don't be sorry. I obviously forgot a to show that I was making fun of my own uselessness with the code and setup of a blog Not uselessness. Your doing fine, and thanks for answering my questions! CF
January 5, 201114 yr Author And now we've lured in some help with the setup. Shadows is giving the blog an overhaul - comments and thoughts are welcome here.
January 5, 201114 yr I hope it's okay to ask this, but what is the purpose/definition of the Death Star tag? I noticed it on my profile today, but I always thought it was for contest winners, and I know I haven't won any contests.
January 5, 201114 yr Author That tag is an appreciation tag - given as a small "Thanks for your contributions to the Star Wars Forum" The win-tag looks very different.
January 5, 201114 yr That tag is an appreciation tag - given as a small "Thanks for your contributions to the Star Wars Forum" The win-tag looks very different. Ah, okay. Thanks for the tag, in that case.
January 5, 201114 yr I am sure you are still working on the blog right now but I have some suggestions. Lightening the colour would probably make it more welcoming. Centering the forum and spacing it out a bit might help as well.
January 5, 201114 yr And now we've lured in some help with the setup. Shadows is giving the blog an overhaul - comments and thoughts are welcome here. Woah, that's a big change! First thing I noticed is that the page isn't centered, but I'm sure that will change. I think I'd like to see the same DS wall skin that this forum has instead of the pure black, and obiviously a banner will be needed.

I think I'd like to see the same DS wall skin that this forum has instead of the pure black, and obiviously a banner will be needed. It is a big change, looks more forumy to me, but I like it. Also regarding Docs suggestion of using the Ds skin, I wouldn't. I mean I love it and all, but you don't want to have the blog looking Identical to the SW forum. Banner = I was wondering, (sorry if this is technical Kim) do our comments go into our EB post count like they do with the classic-pirates blog? CF

I just always loved this skin- Star Warsy but simple and it isn't garish or distracting.
January 5, 201114 yr Author I was wondering, (sorry if this is technical Kim) do our comments go into our EB post count like they do with the classic-pirates blog? CF I highly doubt that. I have no idea how Phes designed the Classic-Pirates blog. I'll look into that.
