New Saints Blog
Hey guys,
I don't post much around here anymore, but I'm a pretty regular reader of the forum and am obviously a really big Saints supporter.
Anyway, I just want to spread the word about a new Saints blog that I'm editing. It's called The Wobbly Point and can be found here: http://www.thewobblypoint.com.au
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wobb ... 7643877935
Twitter: @thewobblypoint
The blog forms part of a new website called FansUnite, which is basically a community of blogs - there's one blog for each of the 59 clubs in Australia's main sporting codes, all of which are run by fans and exclusively feature fan-generated content. FansUnite is based on similar websites in the US like SB Nation and Bleacher Report, if you're familiar with those. it's a new initiative in Australia but it should take off given this sports-mad society.
Please like/get around the blog on Facebook/Twitter, or alternatively, if anybody would like to contribute content, pitch story ideas or simply comment on the articles I've already posted, please sign up and shoot me a message. I'm mainly after short-form pieces (200-300 words), although they can be longer if they're more analysis-based. Articles will be published with YOUR BYLINE. Much like a forum but with a more journalistic twist, the idea is to generate discussion and bring a community of fans together. Given that all content will be written by fans, the blog has a license to be critical (constructively).
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Go Saints!

Congrats. Looks great. Hope it goes well.

Hi Dascman,
I had a very brief cursory look and it looks like it good be worth a deeper read and plan to when time permits.
Hey just a question, how do you get around license and copyright issues as I see you are displaying propriety images from the AFL and other sporting codes.

Re: New Saints Blog
Cairnsman, Getty Images is an official partner of FansUnite, so we have full access to the Getty Images bank of images. But we have no other affiliation with the major sporting codes - as such, we cannot use team names in the blog names or blog logos etc.Cairnsman wrote:Hi Dascman,

Re: New Saints Blog
Thanks for the links, some alternate sites to visit although this place should improve for at least the next month
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
