Hey there everyone, John here!
As I announced yesterday on The Audio Edition, today we’re rolling out a new little feature here on The Movie Blog: Submitting your own posts!
For almost a year now I’ve had people asking me for the ability to post stories to The Movie Blog, much like the way Slashdot or Digg does it. I’m still a little paranoid about opening up that much, but for the next few weeks (as a trial run) you can go to the new post submission page and add a movie news story with some of your own commentary to The Movie Blog.
For now, the post submissions will be moderated so they’ll probably take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to appear on the main page of the site. We’ll take a few weeks and see how it works. Maybe thousands will submit stories… maybe no one will. We’ll just see.
So go ahead! Heard of a great movie news story that we haven’t reported yet on The Movie Blog? Go Post it yourself!
Please feel free to email me and let me know how you think we can improve this process. It’s all a work in progress.
I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.!
~John
Whee I got posted! This is a cool idea. Everyone could use help, and it’s a great way to get us more involved. Cool beans.
wolf said it best…. and be ready to be attacked by mogulus the poster….
I love this new feature John. It’s a great way to get more people involved with the site. This is also a great way to get more news in.
Hey John, just wanted to know exactly what you’re open to.
I ask because I had a rather interesting article I’ve been writing for soem time which I would love to submit to you and the site.
Are you just poking for bits of news or are you open to full articles?
Great idea John. Here is a great opportunity for everyone.
I’ve been mostly lurking since you posted that hilarious spiderman 2 audition article and loved reading all the feedback. I post here and there but love the idea of being able to post a news story or two. I just sent you one a few minutes ago. Enjoy, and thanks for the opportunity.
To The Black Guy DIGG is better
Wow, I’ll try to submit tonight after work. Slashdot is that $hit!!.
I just submitted. Here’s hoping it gets posted.
