Future of RunningCommentary
Definitely like the idea of the running club.
I've been putting 'Running Commentary' in my recent race applications under 'club' anyway. It doesn't get me the affiliated rate, but it makes me feel like I have a home (which in running terms I do - its here).
Not sure on a name, but we have a logo - I love the purple foot! Would look great on a black vest [SIZE="1"]yadda yadda yadda . . .[/SIZE]
I recall someone mentioned The Purple Foot Running Club. I'm sure some of the more gifted citizens of Planet Foot can come up with much better . . .
I also liked The Almeria Running Club, but that holds its own problems. Still nicely obscure to 'outsiders' though . . .
As for the site I really like the forum as it is - I fear change! But can see why you want to change the 'front page' now that you've opened a diary. A 'front page' was what I had in mind; a sort of gateway to the forum, race reports, picture galleries . . . more like a traditional corporate website if you like, or a magazine cover. We could come up with a nice set of graphics (there must be some half-decent photos of our illustrious members somewhere . . . ) to make the 'cover', with hot links to sections of the site such as training diaries, race reports, equipment reviews, forthcoming races . . . whatever. To be clear, this would not be a constantly changing feature of the site - more a graphic-rich static entry point offering a standard introduction to (new name) and inviting people in the peruse the galleries.
It sounds like I'm advocating a rival to RW but I'm really not. We have all these things anyway, its just a case of presentation, of having a navigatable portal that explains what we're about and leads visitors into the site in an informed way.
Well, it's a start . . . :o
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
