COMAS Tank of the Month (TOTM)

[2ras]

In that case I can write something up about the tank.
Give me a week or so & I'll have a page or two.
What about photos?

Should/Could we have just a list of members and their tank bios on the website? It would be a SERIOUS amount of work. But people would be able to see everyone's tanks anytime they like. Just a farfetched idea to throw out there that will probably not happen

Hey - that sounds cool.

I can only phathom how hard and arduous that project would be though. I guess it wouldn't be too bad. Think of it this way. We could have a page with a member list. That member list can have a member bio and a tank bio linked off of their name. But in order for that to happen, the member must create their own bio/tank bio so it is not pawned off on one person to try to get almost 80 people's bios. It could be easy, and it could be difficult depending on how many people decide to participate. If only 10 people out of ~80 decide to take the time to prepare a tank/bio, then the web programmer will only have to copy and paste the information for 10 people. Plus if we do it this way, we can all turn them in at seperate times so we can stretch out the chore instead of putting a big deadline on it and having everyone rush around. If we did this, we could also have a Tank of the Month by just drawing out of a hat of the available tank bios and transfering the bio to a more accessible page with possibly extra detail. Just some thoughts, again.

Really depends how it was done. If I were doing it, I would create a word document, excel spreadsheet, or something, form that could be filled out by a person to create a tank bio. And I'd have an easy way to dump that to HTML to create a web page.

I'd leave the content of the tank bio pretty straightforard and simple with maybe a max of like 4-5 pics per bio and then a link to a "tank photo album", if desired by the tank owner. Of course, that photo album would have to be setup by the owner somewhere other then the COMAS site. (flickr, photobucket, etc)

But like Paul said, COMAS project seven million and five. Or maybe this is seven million and five plus one.

I like the ideas on the members tanks. I have no clue how to make it HTML but I am willing to assemble a word document or assist if possible.

As awesome as that would be, we might want to hold off until we get an actual approval to do something like that Believe me, I'll jump on it ASAP, too :thumbsup:

I agree. Also, we have other projects that are in progress right now for the website. Depending on the outcome of these, we might be ready to CONSIDER a project like this in about 3-6 months.

pssst. *whispers* Hey Jeramy. Feel free to go ahead and write one up though I'm sure if they decide to go for this, you can be the first to get a bio on the website :lmao:

Hi Paul,
E-mailed you my write up this evening. The pics are coming, but I can't find where hubby filed them, so I'll have to get some help from him.

Did we ever decide where these tank of the month things are going to be?
