Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - yvonne - 08-20-2012

The front page now directly connects to Go Mighty Card and Rule of Tree posts. I'd also like to get some fresh native content on the site. This is not meant to compete against but to complement those sites. In addition, I'd like to see some non-football content.



Please pm me if you're interested in blogging for the CARDboard.

Yvonne -- It took me a while to find what you were talking about. Did you know that if I go to http://www.thecarboard.org (as I have bookmarked) I get a completely different page than if I go to http://thecardboard.org ? I had never seen the home page you were describing.

(assuming you meant http://www.thecardboard.org)

Clear your cache. It's going to what you already have stored on your computer.

Thanks, working fine. (And by the way, I hate my cache.)

I sure hope someone volunteers to write something and replace the "lorem ipsum" stuff soon.


Re: Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - yvonne - 08-21-2012

fixed (but it would be cool to keep the lorem ipsum).

I wish I had time or expertise to blog...I don't have much of either!

Yvonne (and others) -- Why not open it up to a committee? One of my favorite things about this board is that I've learned an awful lot about sports that I don't necessarily follow. It would be cool to feature a piece on the women's basketball team, something on the swim team, track and field, etc. During the various seasons, maybe a board expert on that sport could write up a weekly update? I'd love to read stuff like that.

I guess I can help out with the rowing :)

Actually, Hank, that's exactly my vision. I'd like to have a handful of bloggers each writing about his or her particular area of interest.

What's fixed? I still see the test posts.


Re: Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - yvonne - 08-22-2012

Weird. My home computer showed three new posts.


Re: Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - Hank 91 - 08-22-2012

Even when I clear my cache, if I add the www ahead of the address I get the lorem ipsum. Without it, I get what's intended.


Re: Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - yvonne - 08-22-2012

It's going back to that www.thecardboard.org vs thecardboard.org difference again.

I think I had a plug-in that wash't playing well with the other children (er, plug-ins). I've reset that plug-in and tested on multiple browsers. Please, everyone, let me know if that's not the case for you.


www.thecardboard.org and thecardboard.org should show the same thing.


Re: Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - CompSci87 - 08-22-2012

Works for me now. Thanks, Yvonne!


Re: Anybody want to blog for the CARDboard? - Hank 91 - 08-22-2012

Me, too!

Love to be involved but I live outside California and have no insider connections.  Maybe it's best I just chip in my $0.02 on the boards.
