And as a group, our writers are more superior to CricInfo's IMO. So take more notice of what's actually being written!

Do I count?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Err... you tell 'em James..

As opposed to superiorer?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Been there, done that.

I know that there might be copyright problems but surely you could copy and paste from somewhere like google images. Only problem being that they might not do action shots.

Don't Google Images link to images on websites and various web servers? Therefore aren't those images still under someone's copyright?

You lucky son of a gun.

You Carly Simon.

 

[Richard]

Do I count?

No, nor does sledger.

 

[steds]

No, nor does sledger.

Sledger isn't staff, though.

 

[Richard]

Nor are you?
I was referring to these instances.

Hi Sean,

Good news! You profiles were impressive!

I'll catch up with you on MSN shortly, and give you various access
rights

Congrats mate

....He then ignored me on msn. They obviously weren't that impressive.

 

[Richard]

So you are on-track to becoming Staff?
Congrats.
What I was referring to with the "do I count" is that, to date, (like sledger) you have posted only others' articles.

I know that there might be copyright problems but surely you could copy and paste from somewhere like google images. Only problem being that they might not do action shots.

As for the writing, I feel the website would be benefitted if the columns were in a more prominent position on the front page. People visiting the website might not be aware of the superb writing ability CW has on its team.

As Liam said, Google Images are image links to other websites, and we're not prepared to risk using copyrighted material.

Feature Articles are pretty high in the page, certianly aren't hidden. Where would you suggest putting them?

 

[Armadillo]

Somewhere where one wouldn't have to scroll down. Btw, why is the Fleming/Richardson thing on there, surely a bit outdated.

 

[James]

If you have to scroll down to read the Feature Articles, you must have one low resolution on your monitor.

Re Fleming/Richardson - because it's still generating a lot of interest.

 

[Armadillo]

Indeed, twas a pretty good ploy to get the site on 'the surfer' on cricinfo, probably got a fair bit of notice.
