Coming Soon: YWS News

Or do you mean with regards to the position of the header and the page as a whole?

I meant the title and subtitle in the header. But, if it looks strange please ignore what I said.

I am loving this idea.

By the way, this is going to take longer than I thought... it didn't really dawn on me that I'm essentially creating a new website until today.

I think what I'm going to try to do is get the article submission system done first. That way, y'all can begin submitting articles.

Opinion column!!
-gasps at awesomeness-

The submission system is basically done:
Submit Article for YWS News

I'll be adding a preview button to it soon enough, but I hope people will begin submitting stuff right away!

I would go for it!

Ooh, old school! I love it.

Will we be able to edit our submitted articles once we can see them?

This is awesome, Nate! Thank you so much!

Yep Rosey.


Here's how the articles will look:
news_story.php

Again, just static for now. I borrowed pretty heavily from the way The Atlantic lays out their articles since it's a relatively simple design that crams in a lot. You'll have links to share the story on facebook or tweet it, or print it out if you wish.

To be honest, I absolutely adore that style. We should make the stories look like that, lol!

I'd really like to.

awesome!! I can't wait!!

This. Is. Epic.

So when you say local news, does that mean I get to ramble on about Leinster Rugby and the ridiculosity of the Leaving Cert syllabus? You know I'm all for local pride so as soon as you give me that kind of chance I'm all over it.

Definitely Stella.
