Hello world, this is me.

Again.

As a few of you may know, we've gone through a few different ways of keeping things updated here in terms of news and event announcements. They usually work for a little while until we forget all about it.

Anyway, I had a thought last night that we could make a sort of social media site for our characters to get their news and that sort of stuff, and to also bring more attention back to Lumblr Network, I thought of making it connected to that.

I came up with User:Minithepeanut/Newsfeed - ignore the sample posts I was just putting up filler and that's what it ended up as, but it gives you a general idea of how it would work. There's three main sections.

Posts - this is where the Lumblr Network staff (aka us people) post updates as Newsfeed. These updates should be relevant to more than one character and not personal ones.

Events - now you should know I created a whole new event template with the plan that we could edit an events tab into the Lumblr template. Events posted on Newsfeed are public ones, usually from places like Specks or Club Zoo or restaurants if you're having a theme night. This would also obviously be where prom invitations and that sort of stuff go as well.

(Note that if we were to add events tabs to everyone's lumblr networks, you could then send invitations to smaller events individually on the invited guests' pages.)

Classifieds - this is something we tried to get happening on the news & events board, but I figure this could work as well. If you want a roommate for your character for example, they could post on there saying that. If you want to post as a business saying that you were looking for employees this is also where you could do it. Basically this is just designed to help you start interactions with other people if needed.

Anyway, I've gotta help with dinner so I'll reply to any questions later if needed. Let me know what you think.
