So, I think it's kind of cool that we can drop that meebo chat thing right into the webpage, but I don't really like how it works right now:
* Any time that you follow a link you show up multiple times
* Its current location just looks ugly
* Lots of people from outside the community will be presented with it (and some jerk will probably post inappropriate stuff, eventually)
So I'm brainstorming other ways to do it. Such as:
* Bury it in a blog (like Benji did originally) and then put a link to it on the main page. I don't like this, because the only way this chat will be used much is if it is visible.
* Put it only on the home page. One interesting possibility is that I could code things such that it would appear mixed in with the news, always as the 2nd news item. That would keep it visible, but allow Eric & Rod to post things which show up above it.
Other things I'm thinking of:
* Should the chat require a password?
I'm open to any ideas. Thoughts? |
