Powerful Content Fu

Picky Eater: I was thinking that Outtakes should have 2-part titles
Like Slashdot e.g. City of Vancouver adopts Open Standards from the asleep-at-the-switch-in-redmond dept
Or perhaps more like The Register
Kania Tiko: Fuck! Sounds like too much work
PE: Perhaps for the proper blog ... I've been pondering for some time on the unity of post and tweet.
Thought it might be clever to write the tweet for LiS as part of the post ... Title, 100 char teaser that gets tweeted & is used on the home/index pages, body of post
KT: Yes, that would be powerful Content Fu
Straight from the Shaolin temple

Introducing "Diablogical LiS Outtakes"

Picky Eater: I've been going over the chat logs (as I occasionally do) and there have been quite a few instances where you'll say something like "put that on your blog" when we've had an epiphany or a good discussion ... and I don't for whatever reason
I think we need a group "Fiji" blog: a generic sort of place we can dump our discussions
I can't find any theme to the stuff we say we should blog except that we live in Fiji
Kania Tiko: Oh fuck no! Not another Failed Paradise
PE: No way!
KT: Why not just pure chat transcripts? Only edit for grammar and spelling ... and linking
PE: I like that idea. Think of a name that plays on 'conversations'
KT: LiS outtakes
Many hours later...
KT: Diablogical LiS Outtakes
PE: We have 2 options
1. you can set up the blogger account (might as well be you 'cos you've got the AdSense account)
2. wait a few weeks and we can give it a home at http://lunchinsuva.org/outtakes
KT: Fuck it
1. takes 2 seconds
2. can just import all the stuff from 1 when its ready
PE: Set! Do it -- Diablogical LiS Outtakes
url: lisouttakes?
KT: Yeah. I might stick a dash in there though
PE: Won't allow. I checked to see if it was available
KT: Looks ok to me.
Oh! I probably clicked create before you clicked check
PE: Excellent!
And for a strapline, I suggest: "Inane conversation about anything but the food in Suva"
