Hello everyone!
I've really been slacking on this lately, but I think that it's time that we give this Blog monthly Theme another try. So here are my thoughts on how it could be done:
If this method sounds all right to everyone, what say we open the floor to topic suggestions until, say, 9:00 Monday evening (GMT-7, or 4:00 AM GMT), then I'll make a post with the suggestions and people can reply with their vote? Keep voting open until 9:00 Wednesday evening, when the winner will be announced, and we can start with the topic on the 2nd.
Depending on the number of suggestions, maybe a selected list will be presented for voting for each month rather than the complete list, and as the topics are used up more will be added from the bank of suggestions. Or should it be done more like the SO photo contest, where open suggestions are taken, and they're just cycled through? Perhaps a month is too long, and a weekly or bi-weekly theme would work better?
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Gripes? Let's see if we can make this work! Assuming of course if anyone actually wants to
I've really been slacking on this lately, but I think that it's time that we give this Blog monthly Theme another try. So here are my thoughts on how it could be done:
- Suggestions for themes can come from anyone, either via a PM to me or as a response to this entry (I'll be subscribed so that it new suggestions will get to me even if the post is buried)
- Either toward the end of the month prior, or at the beginning of the current month, a theme will be chosen by vote (as counted by replies in a dedicated post)
- The theme will then be used as a 'talking point' during the month
