One thing we have been working on for a while has gone live today:
Your Story | Wrexham.com and Sports Story Submission | Wrexham.com for sports.
It was due to be sooner with a fancy pants login system, however twitter API changes and general faff with WordPress put pay to that. Its an idea to revive at some point when there is more time, but not for now :D
Basically it allows anyone to input to the Wrexham.com frontpage, and therefore the twitter/facebook/social feeds etc. It is not an unmoderated system, but is ‘curated’.
The aim is that the audience the site has can be opened up two ways to allow greater coverage than just where Wrexham.com’ers and their friends/family happen to be! This is not to replace the existing output of the site, however hopefully can enhance it.
Over time we are hoping to sort further access and develop out the sports section to cover much more than footy and the odd bit of rugby and hope people can get onboard!
This first version is very much an enhanced webform however from this we hope to build out and make some tools that are helpful for ongoing and one off contributors.
Feedback and questions are as always more than welcome, and we are keen to get people involved and hopefully help ‘train’ people in how to use it if they so wish.
Hopefully this means more communities, interests and events get interest!
