PoD, i would offer to post, i really want to see someone else do it so they get used to it. What problems specifically are you having posting up the article? Hey Jen, I think we still have problems with making changes to articles after they are posted up; did you ever try to fix it? Is there anyway you can give PoD backend access so he can post up and edit articles?

Well at the time I created the site, I was gonna keep it strictly Gina related, but it's taken a turn to an overall/anything Women MMA related...lol. Which is great! That wasn't my only way of searching news......


Yeah, that's kinda my doing. But I don't post just anything that is women's mma related. I make sure to choose only Women MMA articles that are connected to Gina in some sway. Cyborg obviously, Kim couture because theyre best friends, Erin Toughill because she was an american gladiator, Tara Larosa because she is a #1 fighter like Gina w/ hype around their fight, and has talked about Gina in interviews, and ofc all these fighters have a real possibility of fighting Gina in the future (except  Kim for obvious reasons).

There were other articles as welll about the girls from the Fight Girls show that I didn't get a chance to post.  Quite a few of them have become MMA fighters with recent fights such as Felicia, Jennifer Tate, and Michelle Waterson. I actually wanted to a do a "Where are they now" kind of article about them but i never had the time to research and write it up.

Which brings me to the next point. Even if there are no news or media to post up, you guys can always think of an original article to writeup on, whether it be opinionated pieces or features (if you are confident enough in your writing skills). If you want to, you can seek Gina out and do an official Gina-carano.org interview with her, lol. That'd be awesome.

MK...I replied to your other thread about your To do list about the editing. There is no way to fix it right now until a new release of Joomla (possibly a fix) comes out. There is a conflict between Joomla and my Search Engine plugin. The only way to edit is to disable the Search Engine Plugin, and that won't happen, lol. It's a good way for the search engines to search us and index us properly. So nah, there isn't a fix.

As you can see on the front page I can't edit as you assumed I wouldn't be able to.

An official Gina-Carano.org interview?! :) awesome idea. Is there such thing as approved, but non-officially endorsed fan site?

I fixed it for you. Just FYI, you can't use BB Code like in forums to post up links when editing an article. Just highlight want you want to be linkable and then click on the link button when you want to add a URL to it. Or you can click on the HTML button and work entirely in HTML.
