Cracked has composed a list of eleven argument defenses you might encounter on all kinds of forums. I believe I’ve seen every one of these in action. Link -via Digg
Last month, we started a new feature on Neatorama: an open forum for Neatorama readers. In the blog post introducing the forum, I promised that the best posters will win a mystery prize, and since I’m a man of my words, here it is:
Congratulations to SparkS, blakdragon, and Johnny Cat for being the top forum posters. As my thanks, they’ll get a free iPod shuffle (they even get to choose the colors!). The rest of the top participants in the forum, shown above, will get a free Neatorama T-Shirt.
Thank you again for putting in the time and effort to make the Neatorama forum an enjoyable to hang out and chat!
Hooray! I’m excited to tell you that we have a new feature on Neatorama, a Forum that we hope will be a neat place to hang out and interact with fellow Neatorama readers.
Unlike the blog, which as a top-down approach (authors write a post, which you then can read and add comments), the forum is open to all registered users of Neatorama. Found something interesting on the net? Got a burning question? Want to showcase your art? You can start a topic! (But please, no spam and keep the discussion civil.)
Jennifer Zelazny of Sandbox Development was a big help in the design and integration of the forum into the blog’s WordPress platform. She knows her stuff and is a pleasure to deal with. If you ever wanted a customized forum or need help with your blog or website, I highly recommend her.
Let’s give this a try: originator of a particularly neat forum post (or one that develops into a lively discussion), will win a Free Neatorama T-Shirt. The best 3 forum posters of the month will also get something (a mystery prize, but it’ll be good, I promise).
Without further ado, here it is: please check out our new Neatorama Forum.
To kick start the new Neatorama forum, I’ve written a little how-to guide on blogging for those of you who want to know the secret of Neatorama’s success:
So you want to blog. Perhaps you’re worried about your job security, or perhaps you just want an extra source of income in these bad economic times. Blogging is fun – and it can be profitable, if you know what you’re doing.
In the first of what I hope is a series of forum posts about blogging, I’d like to give back to the readers of Neatorama. If you want to blog, you don’t have to buy an eBook that promises to tell you the secret of making money online. I’ll tell you what I’ve learned from three years of blogging – what I think I did right and wrong. In a nutshell, I’ll tell you the secrets of Neatorama’s growth and success.
In this article, I’m going to assume two things: you’ve never blogged before (but you want to try) and you want to blog for fun and profit.
I hope you like it – if it’s popular, I’ll post more: Link
