News Headlines Forum
Posted: 30 Aug 2005, 08:22
There's a new forum in town - News Headlines.
With the popularity of RSS Feeds and sheer boredom at work, I've been placing several news stories that I think would peak some interest for some people on the site. But they're often placed in ISA, Kickback Cafe, CTRL+ALT+DEL, or Current Events, based on where I think they should go for content.
Now they have a new home at "Current Events > News Headlines" to keep them all in one place. If it is still popular afterward, I will probably include a place to break them down into business, global, tech, odds, etc, and make it its own forum (not a sub-forum). So if you find something interesting on the web that's a news story, post it in there.
To keep it consistent though, try to follow this format (unless you have to have a login for the site):
