[War_ooc] I has success! WAR seeks webgeek.

[John Penta]

Okay folks.

I has success to report.

Through various contacts, I was able to figure out that Wikidot (wikidot.com)
has pretty much exactly what we need for a WAR website, it seems, helpfully
set up through a Wiki format. It doesn't -look- like the average Wiki,
anyway. It's also free, no small thing when I have no money to spend.

However.

Once I sign up and set people as Site Gods, that's basically the end of my
technical knowledge and my motivation.

Hence, if you're at all interested in being WAR's Webgeek, speak up here.
Even if you have no knowledge, so long as you have motivation and some
graphics skill, you have what we need.

It's preferred, all other things considered, that the webgeek be a player,
but that's not something I'm going to insist on - this is really meant to be
a short-term "set up the site" thing. The way I imagine things, this being a
Wiki should make it easy for players to do things like set up and maintain
their own country pages once the webgeek sets everything up for the site as
a whole.

If I had money, I'd be willing to pay a small amount of real money (like
$10/month) in compensation. Unfortunately, money is something I lack at the
moment; I'm on disability and living with my parents, and going to likely be
doing paralegal school in the fall. As such, all I can offer is the chance
to learn and the chance to assemble a portfolio of your work on the site.

You basically get total creative freedom on the initial setup (I can't say
that WAR has ever had a graphical style), too. I have ideas as to what I
want the site to -contain-, but no real idea how it would best be presented.

(Why use a Wiki? Because at the outside, it means the site doesn't die if
the webgeek quits.)

Additionally, I discovered that pbem2.com has a banner exchange. If anybody
has graphics skills enough to do banner ads for WAR, the same offer applies.

If multiple people want to be the webgeek, we can split duties, or do a
code-off, or something.

Just so long as I can not worry about it.

John
