As some of you may have read here, the mods and admins are working on setting up a blog for the Atheist Forums. We want to populate it with user-generated content. In other words, we would like anyone who is willing and capable to write blog posts about atheism to do so for our blog. Though we haven't discussed all of the details yet, we may also need some blog posts from theist perspectives, but most likely always regarding atheism in some way.
We are getting closer to having the blog up and running. The more tech savvy admins (meaning more tech savvy than myself) are getting it ready for us, particularly theVoid and Tiberius (I hope I spelled that correctly.
) We would like to have some blog posts to put on the blog before it goes live, so we don't have a one post blog. In my experience, this will look better and attract more readers. Therefore, we are asking you to help us get the blog populated. I will also be doing some writing.
Here are some title ideas that I came up with based on common searches with the keyword atheism. Try to represent all atheists with some of these, not just yourself. (Titles in red are being worked on by other members. If they become available again, we'll remove the color.)
Do atheists hate Christians?
Atheist Jokes
What is atheism?
Best Books on Atheism
Are atheists smarter?
Are atheists evil?
Are atheists immoral?
Please feel free to post title/topic ideas here, if you have any of your own. We'll discuss which ones you want. If you would like to write one of these, please post it here and I, or another mod, will strike that from the list so we don't have dupe posts. We will also add your ideas to this list, unless you know you want to write them, in which case, it would be cool if you indicate that when you post the title idea here. We'll let you know if we like the title idea and whether you should get to work on it. For now, it will be a we need titles situation. In the future, I believe we plan on giving a few of you creative license and access to the blog so you can post whatever you want.
A few things to note before writing:
We plan on having a way that we can reference our sources in a uniform manner. Please put links to any sources you used for facts in your articles at the end of the article when you submit.
Forum rules will apply to these blog posts, wherever applicable. In other words, no hate speech, etc.
We recommend that you keep your articles between 600 and 1000 words, as this is a good length for internet attention span. However, we will not reject shorter or longer posts that are well written and cover the topic at hand acceptably.
Try to spell and grammar check your blog posts, as they represent the community as a whole. If you need any help with proofreading, PM me the blog post and I will run it through my software and read it over.
Once you have written a blog post, if you choose to do so, pm it to any of the mods/admins, so we can get it posted on the blog.
I think this covers everything. I will post updates in here if we or I think of anything else. Please do not feel obligated to do this, as we know that not everyone likes to write.
