Should DDF TRs Be Featured On DDMS?
« on: June 26, 2015, 12:23:43 PM »
Is it time to feature DDF TR on DansDeals.com?

Maybe a weekly post with a link to a featured TR?
Or should the TR be edited and posted directly onto DDMS as a guest TR?

I'd ask for permission first from each author, but what are your thoughts?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Oh gosh... And you thought DD was time consuming now...

That said I think guest TR's and even articles would be a welcome addition.

Whether you decide to or not, I think editing and posting on the site directly would be a better idea than just linking to it. I feel like more DDMSers are scared of DDF even when given a direct link.

Should be on it but as a DDMS article and not a link to DDF.

definitely. it gets people more into the spirit and shows people the possobilities for random people to achieve free trips, not only you ;)

Post them directly on the MS. It will capture more interest and will encourage more people to post TRs.

Def yes. The one that are written well.
The other I'd add snippets from or have them edited.  There are some great TRs here!

Also for some locations it might make sense to do a combined TR from a few posters.

If it's written well enough to be featured on DDMS then the OP will probably be able to self-edit.

it's basic WP technical knowledge that is the PITA. for example all the links have to pics have to be custom adjusted.

Can probably be taught in a couple minutes though.

I thinks its a great idea!  Prob best not to have  a link to the forums and post direct to ddms.

I don't think we'd have everyone who's posted a TR working in the DD backend :P

Where do you want us to do that? In this thread? Maybe in a Wiki? Shouldn't it just be some of the  ones in the Master Thread Wiki for TRs?
