We need more Newshounds

[Krug]

Dedicated Newshounds wanted to join the good fight of updating EN Worlders about what's going on in the d20 world. Must be willing to scour far flung sites, and write well enough for the average half-orc to understand.

Apply within. Those who can commit long term prefered.

Benefits: Newshound groupies, but they tend to be invisible faeries.

 

[Krug]

Help.... please...

 

[Darkness]

I'll try to find more again, too.

(Probably mostly things like the two Savage Species message board scoops I sent in while Morrus was away...)

 

[Old Fezziwig]

I'm game. How does it work?

Sounds good Kajamba. We'll give the new Newshounds a list of sites to visit, and they can put up anything of interest to EN Worlders.

Lets see who else signs up.

Thanks Darkness. Those were some great scoops.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Okay. Sounds good, Krug.

Thanks for volunteering to be a newshound , tKL.

Basically, we'd like you to regularly check the Wizards D&D site. When updates appear (e.g. articles, downloads, free adventures, chat sessions, announcements, product news, etc), report them to us. Here's how:

1. If you haven't done so already, you need to register for an account with the EN World news site. This is in addtion to your account with the forums. Go the this link to register.

2. Once registered, you can submit news by clicking the 'Submit a Scoop' link to the left of the main news page.

3. Keep your submissions brief. You might want to look back at some previous newsposts to get a feel for the style. Refer to companies (e.g. Wizards of the Coast) in the plural. Post links to any articles, downloads, and other features you refer to. If you have question about html tags, post questions here (I knew next to nothing when I started ) Note that quoted text should be put in orange.

4. After you submit something, your submissions should be posted as soon as we're able; Your submission may be edited.

That's pretty much the deal. If you already knew a lot of the above information, sorry about that.

Thanks again for offering to help out.

That sounds fine to me. I've tried to register, but apparently (and I don't remember doing this) I've tried to register before — my e-mail address is in the system and it won't let me sign up. Any chance someone could clear out any accounts associated with kajambalion@hotmail.com so I could sign up again (or have the site send out my password). Your instructions are fine, John; I didn't have any of that information.

Perhaps Blacksway can have a look at it?
I've entered the WotC info for today.

This may be an odd question, but is there a way to add a section on sites that carry the EN News Feed or even pub sites where one could click on a button and send a "quick notice" to a News Hound to make them aware of News or an Event. Poster Bard is pretty good about getting CMG News to the EN World News page as scoops, but maybe something like this would be a failsafe sort of thing... *shrug*
