Articles

Thank you, always nice to see feedback from someone who you wouldn't really associate with news, glad they are readable for you.

I'm not sure but maybe article applications will be open after the trialists have passed/failed, also, the news department has the oppurtunity to post articles as well and I remember lRhyss did a lot of this before he resigned!

The articles department is a great department, I know I get bored of it sometimes but something just drives me to do articles like I know I'll always get CC from each article I post same with my news articles.

To be honest Casnova, I'd never thought of posting about things I like, I usually post about my various holidays and mishaps that have occurred on them, you have gave me a great idea for this weeks article hope you skim over it at some point when I post it, thanks +rep.

well you might find someone who's interested in it :P
I like theology, for example. Not really something most people find interesting but I could still write about it! If it wasn't for the lack of time thing, I'd say give it a go and see!

Just seen this thread, thanks very much Allan, the department has improved a lot recently in both sections as we've really upped our game and expectations. It's lovely for someone to create a feedback thread about News & Articles every one if a while! :P

I've had a read through quite a few of the articles and they are all mostly really good :D Good work :)

Really good to see credit given where it is due. Well done. :)

Yup I agree 100% that it's come a long way. However, I think the hits aren't that big and the department needs more of a push in terms of promotion, the news and articles department needs to get involved with the community as that's the way forward because articles are pointless if only about 10-20 people read them and no one comments. Just my suggestion ;).

We're aware and you wouldn't know about the hits of news today Grig, no one other than the admin team do, I think the only hits we can go by is visits to hx.com anyway. We do have some plans up our sleeves, which are currently being decided on by myself and David. Also, I think you'd find comments are on the up! We've also got some events and competitions coming up soon :)

Thanks for the feedback though!

I think the old Joomla site had hits, but those broke too :( so we didn't know either! Would be good if they could give you a hits counter so that you know :p.
