Newsworthy?

CutTheRedWire / 2 decades ago (18 February 2003 12:25)

Recently the LiteStep indi build had an update. I was wondering if you guys would consider that news worthy or not? How about up dates to plugins? I´m tryin to get back on top of these things and I find they often aren´t reported to the skinning community. Is it just that no one is reporting it, or do you feel it just really doesn´t belong here?

Unless it´s daily-ish updates/news they are indeed welcome!

And yes you´re currect about the lack of announcements on LS build/LS plugin updates, they tend to stay within the "LS ring" of users and sites only.
Promoting skinnable apps should be done on a more widely basis, if you catch my drift.

So Red, bring´em on! Happy

I will accept most of the news you submit here Red. I´m happy to say I have this news post power (because it is a power) on two sites. Skinbase and Modzine. So you are welcome to post all you want. 90% of it will be accepted

Cool. Let me go post some news.

Personally, as a user, I would like to have seen this done for some time. LiteStep is my most used skinnable app, so naturally I want to keep it up to daye. Plus, most OTS themes/skins for it say "latest Indi Build Required" but you never heard about Indi Builds. Was all rather fustrating to me, so I thought perhaps others might be int he same boat.

I´m going to try and combine a few things in one article. Like this time I instructions for newbies on how to update. Next time maybe I´ll have some module up dates too, or if I did just modules I would have like three or so in one article. Perhaps throw in some none skinnable but related software info.

As for getting news posted, I´m not worried. I submit to so many sites that somebody will approve it, and if not, I can take rejection. 8) Some constructive critizism would be nice though. My usual sites are:
VelocityArt (naturally:P)
Skinbase
artuproar
deskmod
deviantart
custo
virtualplastic
modzine
skinnables

and I think that´s about it. I need to start including tek too. I might start submiting skinnable news to shell sites too. Try to connect the community a bit.

Thanks for the input and the post approving guys. 8)

Basically here we will post anything that is skinning related. That´s what we´re about Wink But LS is definately news worthy anyhow Happy

The only reason LS news isn´t posted here currently is because nobody told us what was new Wink We have to rely on what we are told by developers, skinners and fellow baseheads.

And I know personally that this admin does not know everything Grin

Hopefully this will start a trend, and ppl will start to submit LS news. In the mean time, I´ll just have to keep an eye out, and share what I see with everyone.

Btw, with the links in a news article, how should I put them? Html code, striaght links, or something else?
