Sorry we did not have the posts today, everyone was very busy/tired from finals along with work. Hopefully visitors took the time to search through old posts and catch up on anything you have missed. Over christmas break, starting next week we are hoping to take the blog to the next level. The first step is to find someone who can design websites. We would love to get everything set up to look cool and catch people's attention. We also need to set the site up in a way the is very neat, accessible and in a way where people can find exactly what they are looking for very quickly. Also, I need to set everything up so that we can show up on Google if people search things like Philly sports, Philly blogs, Eagles, etc, etc. If you have any experience with this and can help us out contact either me or Chief and let us know and we can work out some form of compensation.
Along with a fee we will also advertise for you. Believe it or not we do get some pretty good traffic on the site with a wide variety of visitors. After I posted about the t-shirt company aPHILLYated, I had people putting in orders (no lie at all) within ten minutes. I can tell you from personal experience trying to get my own name out there that advertising and marketing yourself is so important, if you would like to use our blog space to get your business' name or merchandise out in the open let us know and we can certainly set something up. As I said in the first paragraph we are going to design the site to make it more legitimate hopefully to get even more traffic.
Also, we are looking to hire more staff writers to blog on a bigger variety of topics. This is not just a sports blog. I myself am a criminology major and more posts, similar to my commentary on the Philly prison system, will be coming out. We will also have a who new section or nightlife and restaurants in Philly. Another area we will be covering is personal fitness and sport specific training. The next subject matter that I am very interested in is music. Hopefully we can get a amount of information on up and coming musicians, especially in the area. If you are trying to make a name for yourself, let us know and we will help any way we can. "Screw Santa" is all about helping people from our great area of Delco/Philly make it big because there are no more real people then here in our area. As we get more topics we will continue to attract new visitors and hopefully build a bigger fan base. This means if you decide to advertise you will really be getting you name out to people of different age groups/interests.
Thank you so much for all the support and compliments you guys have given me so far, it means so much to me and Chief. We know that this isn't the most serious blog in the world and by no means are we trying to become famous. We really just have fun making comments and having good discussions on topics that interest us. Please give us suggestions on how we can make the site better. We really hope it just becomes something you put on your favorite list and check out everyday when your sitting in class or at work on your computer and have a couple minutes you want to waste to pass the time. Its all about having some fun and hopefully we can help some people out along the way! Thanks---Buzzy
