Dies to Removal

Ok, so who wants to volunteer to help get the front page running at long last?

We need people who can code, html/css at a minimum.

Ultimately, we'd like to have the following up and running:

*Original Articles and RSS Feeds

*Cull recent T8 results and format them into useful gauntlets for people to look at. Standard Gauntlet - Put a resource like this on the front page of a major site, and it's going to attract traffic. Make one for every single format, and you've got a huge draw. It saves magic players an awful lot of time, compared to going through clicking on each major tournament looking for the latest iterations of any given deck.

*Visual spoilers, a la MTGS. There's a single, very simple reason that MTGS gets the traffic it
pulls in. It provides visual spoilers in a prominent location, displays them all on a single page so that you don't have to click through successive pages, and updates it faster than anyone else.

*An event calendar. None of the major sites are using one that's comprehensive. http://mtgmom.com/

Other features could potentially come later, such as deck building apps and electronic booster drafting.

You're the one with the friend who wanted to do it... .___.

If you don't mind me mini-jacking this discussion, are advertisements being discussed? Increasing traffic and setting up the front page are great goals, but it actually kind of sucks knowing that any increases aren't really benefiting the site in any material way.

This site is too small for any advertising anyway, yet it could be useful for the users to have a store linked to the site.

As for the maintenance costs, the site is piggybacking on a main operation who covers any of the hardware/traffic costs.

My friend can potentially chip in to do a bit of the more complicated stuff. His talents don't lie to making towards making things look pretty, however.
