On June 1, Gangrey.com will be a year old. Ahhh. I remember the days when HTML was just a bunch of letters.
The site has grown in popularity thanks to metions from a few people out there who appreciate the content. Poynter's Chip Scanlan's metion helped a ton, as did a link on Cyberjournalist.net, and several others. The site's traffic now averages about 180 unique visitors a day from papers across the country (and from someone who daily Googles "ross coleman" and "girlfriend," whatever that means) (And don't ask me how I know that. That's all top-secret computer stuff).
Anyhow, my buddy from the Harvard of West Central Arkansas who created what you know as Gangrey.com, has promised to help with a fantastic redesign to carry us through Year Two. Here's where you come in.
What do you want Gangrey to be? Any beef you have with the current set-up? Should we post jobs? Tips? Should we include bios of frequent posters? Should we include a way for readers to post links to stories? Should we include a section titled "How Not To Write" and fill it with stories by Snake?
We plan to launch a consistent series of conversations with writers on how they do what they do, similar to Kruse's post a while back on Andy Newman. I'm also thinking we should sell some T shirts or something, 'cause I gotta eat.
What else?
