Great idea, as long as it's kept in character but OOG.

I think our motto should be: we are nice and we protect animalz.

It's not catchy and has no ring to it whatsoever.

Btw Bacon Army that banner is rad.

edit: Make that Patrick Star.

Ok, I think the banner is perfect now.

Any other changes?

Where to begin?

- So yes, an email to tagruatoDOTexposedATbloggerDOTcom will publish on the blog. Email's subject line will be the subject line of the post. Email's text will be the text of the post. I recommended gmail for the task because they don't put advertising in the footers of their emails, so nothing to edit out later. Nevertheless, feel free to use any email account you wish.

- A set of almost all of Tagruato's graphics is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10246432@N06/sets/72157602262359870/

Hand/Earth Header: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1486047836&context=set-72157602262359870&size=o

- So I need to invite people to contribute to the blog (i.e. become blog authors). The blog send address above is imperfect as best, and ripe for abuse. I think the best way to work it will be to treat this thread like our editorial board. If you have an idea for a post, write it up and post it here first, where others can give you editorial pointers/suggestions/corrections. I'm not talking a high bar here, just a system to ensure a post is thoughtful, and in character. Once we have a final version, a blog author can then upload it to the blog. The more authors, the more flexible we'll be. Make sense? Alternatively, as I have it now, the blog doesn't attribute authorship to the person who posted it. So basically everything that appears on the blog will be a joint statement. If, however, authors want credit for their contributions, I'll add blog authors. In that case, it will be your responsibility to become a blog author and to post your own material. If the latter, I'd still like for us to post our stuff here in the forum first to get some feedback prior to posting it to the blog.

- Step one, email me and I'll send you an invitation to become a blog author. The email is tagruatoATgmailDOTcom.

- Step two, start writing and editing copy. We could use a post about us, a post about Tagruato, a post about Dr. Abe's findings. One more point about copy. Good writing makes or breaks a blog.

- Header Logo: Nice work on the various headers. The width should be in the range of 660px. My preference would be to ape or mock Tagruato, or at least follow their color scheme. The reason is this. Eventually, one of our goals (when we're ready for prime time) will be to bomb google (*), so that when someone searches "Tagruato" our protest blog either gets top billing or we're right there next to the real Tagruato. The aim being consistent with our groups goal of expose Tagruato. Anyway, I'll keep rotating the various banners until we settle on one.

p.s. Apologies if I'm starting to sound like a general. Weekends aren't the best time for me to be playing online.

May I just point out that either the banner needs to be made shorter or the blog page needs to be made wider. Because the banner jutting out the side of the borders makes The Effect look...unprofessional.

I suggest an editorial distancing ourselves from the hack. It's important that a) we distance ourselves from being 'involved' in the game and b) that we distance ourselves from The Cause - them being the more illicit group.

Short article notion - where is Dr Abe now?

Press Release Idea

[Chrizzy]

The sketchy outline of the Tagruato logo-in-flames was bugging me, so I made one minor change...
