Working on this...
I'm working on a project called "the Micrologist" (rubbishly adapted from economist) and basically I want it to take us back to the good ol' days of community blogging.
But, I can't use this blasted Wordpress and I remember how good it was. So help is needed.
What I want to create is basically 3 categories for it. Cultural, political and opinion. I think you can fit pretty much most stories and articles under that, and then I leave it open to being updated by people as a sort of collective news source which micronationalists can check up on. I'll also add stories of course to keep the momentum going.
I hope it works and I hope people are interested. I do think a community one would add a lot to the sector, and hopefully if we advertise it then we can get more people involved in Micras (but that's a long-shot)

I'm supposed to be starting the INS back up, and Will was going to come back as well, but Uni has got the better of me!
We do have the domain name www.intermicronationalnews.com still

Re: Working on this...
Oh Wonderful. I would happily either make way for the INS or possibly have a competitor. It's best to start the project and then get rid of it than discuss it and never start it
I'm all for the old news systems again. I miss them...

I hate to be a double posting bumper, but it's better than posting a new thread on the same thing... probably...
Anyone know anything about wordpress?

It sounds excellent! I've been trying to do something along the lines of the 'Litovsker Tagblatt', but I don't have Max's graphics skills, so I might just do a news blog.
Re: Working on this...
I don't know how to get a decent theme. I see the INS one looks really professional, but I cna't get anything near that. I found a decent theme but I can't upload it. So can anyone give me a hand?

Re: Working on this...
That is an option, but I don't see any real competitors for the INS if I do so. Milleniumnews is dead and so Having something to challenge the INS could actually be of benefit.

Look, just use the INS. You both want a community thing people can write on. The INS is sitting there. Use that. You've got occasional* articles from the Apollo Aurora and Times Group to compete with if you really want that .

Re: Working on this...
Yeah. I suppose I can be persuaded to write on the INS. The capitalist in me was thinking to the future when competition is going to be a grand idea. Maybe it's fair enough to start from now. How do I write on the INS?

Do I have to get permissions to write stories?
