Hey guys,
I just loved the old forum and I’m trying to recover some treaths.

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a long time now but I just couldn’t start it…

I would lobe to blog with some other people who can help me with it.

We could have 2 writers and 2 photographers and a poet or something so we have a lot of difference in the blog.

Please let me know what you think of it and if you would be able to help me :)

This sounds awesome. I think it would be a great insight in to other people’s lives as well. Whether it’s through photographs or poems. :)

Yes, maybe we could have like 5 or 6 people of whom there are:
2 writers
2 photographers
1 artist (drawings, paintings pictures etc.)

If you get what I mean.

Maybe we will need one or two more experienced bloggers? I have no idea… I myself can write fairly well and sometimes I like to take pictures.

I’m not experienced, I’ve tried some blogging before but nothing amazing. I do enjoy drawing and writing, I’m not a great photographer though.

I love to write, and would definitely love to get in on this! I’ve got some writing experience, both prose and poetry :) I’m not a great photographer, though, and it’s been a while since I drew something worth sharing.

I’m definitely interested. I do write a good bit and I paint and draw all the time. Just message me whenever you want to get it started!

this sounds like an amazing idea!!! i can do any of the above, although I’m most proud of my art, here’s a link if you’d like :) [also it's sideways because I'm dumb and uploaded the picture wrong] http://neongirlissoawesomelike.tumblr.com/post/13335232927/peculiar-perspective-virtually-neon-november#notes

ah and I did this on my YouTube Channel:

Also it would be super cool if at one point everyone would try the other one’s “expertise”
and it might be a good idea to have a designer for the backgrounds and banners and such digital artsy stuff.

Is it to late to sign up? I would love to be a writer… I feel like I would be more productive that way because I would have to do less off computer preparing…

OKay lets do this :D

First things first:
platform? blogspot or something? ideas?
Second (more important than first) a name and group (it has to be easy and not taken by any sorts, I mean don’t use something like a hyperbowl plus one… That’s taken if you get what I mean)

Blogger:
@alabamaredhead

No idea:
@fearnotthelion

Poem:
@loyalfreak

Writer:
@anotherwriterchic
@beccalynn311
@wessells

Photographer:
@samantha
@neongirl29

Maybe we will need one more guy to do the technic stuff with design and stuff so if you know a designer than get him the fell over here.

Furthermore, just get the creativity flowing and get me trough the logistics… Just discuss everything.

P.S You are not too late for sure. Maybe someone will drop out. Just pm me and I will keep you updated.

we could do blogger and tumblr and just post the same stuff on each one, just to be more accessible.
and like I said it would be cool if we could switch it up once and a while.
also this needs a name. any suggestions?

That was the kind of idea I was looking for.

So tumblr and Blogger together.

Means we need:
Name
Designer

As soon as I made it I will send you the password in a PM

I will keep my 50 book challenge over there by the way so if anyone of you is interested joining me?

I would say that the writers stick mostly to their own lives and some short stories, the artist and poem are kind of free to do what ever they want.

The photographers are free too… Just make it… appropriete and wonderful but I’m sure that will work out.

I have no idea, I have no real experience in blogging, do you have any name suggestions?

Nothing comes to mind :S

I’ll do art if no one else wants to take it. I’ve uploaded some of the things I’ve done on my deviantart. My scanner isn’t big enough to scan then because I work in A3 sketchbooks in school.

I feel like the name should be something Nerdfighter related, because I believe that’s the one thing we all have in common for certain right?

Ok so how about “Once upon a blog” because we’re sort of making or on story with this.
Mishie I enjoy your drawings and it would be lovely if we could include Becky and mishie :)
Lastly would it be possible to have like a video chat meeting or something, just so were talking to more than just names? :]

My skype is broken, and I don’t have a fancy phone… Unless someone wants to pitch in email works for me.. We could make a private group also so everyone in the group could talk. Here is my Tumblr for a poor example of my blogging but I don’t really give 100% on Tumblr.. so it may not be the best example but alas… it is all I have/

Oh! What if we make a collab channel on youtube? We can make it private I believe if everyone isn’t comfortable with their video being out. I’m not sure where everyone lives so time zones could clash with having one big video chat. This way we could just upload a video and then watch it when we get the time. We can have list of general questions to answer or something like that. Then we’ll have a face with the name. (It could also be a part of the whole blog aspect if we get that far or even want it) *Also, the video wouldn’t be a required bit just for those that want to, seeing as it goes out of some peoples’ comfort zones or they might not have a camera

Yeah that’s fine no worries. That’s why it wouldn’t be a required bit just an added extra kind of so that we learn who we’re working with. I reckon we’d be fine either way with or without it.

yeah guys, I think it would just be nice to see yo faces :P Like you all sound awesome (by default, of course) but it would be really fabulous to get to know awesome people.
Google + actually has free group video chat, but you have to lie about your age if you’re under 18… but that’s not so bad right?
also, skype works with iPhone or Mac, apple just tries to trick you into thinking Facetime is superior when it’s not.
If you are using a laptop, chances are you have a webcam built in, nd you may not even know it. It’s that circle bit at the top of your screen.
Idk, just some stuff to think about, and the collab channel seems nice, but yeah definitely not as a top priority sort of deal.
awesomely yours, Kelly :)

Once opun a blog already exists….

I would go for B… Or C…. I don’t know

C

Furthermore, I can use a camera and stuff but not very often and it is going to be hard for me to be up at the same time as you. I woke up at 6 in the morning and I saw that one of you had posted only moments ago…

Oh well, I’ve just made blogger and tumblr. I will all send you the details.

I would say that we start blogging?

That’s not exactly a bad thing you know. Being the youngest. It makes the group more varied and gives more opportunity to learn about different perspectives on things not just based on location but age as well. So no worries (:

It looks like you have enough people, but if you still need someone I would like to join.

I only started blogging for the first time a couple of days ago (I’m trying to blog every day in 2012), but I would still love to try to write stuff.
I also like taking photographs and I could write stories by the photographs I made.
