The Shufflingdead train to success

Until now, only phases 1-5 of “The New and Thrilling Shufflingdead.com” project were known. They were:

Phase 1: Finish porting site over to WordPress
Phase 2: Update at least minimally
Phase 3: Promote site
Phase 4: Expand the Shufflingdead empire
Phase 5: Increase quality

Phase 5, I feel, has gone superbly. The “News” section of the site was introduced under this phase, and with it came an endless march of stories that I’ve had fun writing, and which I suspect have been fun for the Shufflingdead readership.

And now, it is my pleasure to introduce Phases 6 through 8 of the project:

Phase 6: Rejuvenate Shufflingdead’s layout and organization Phase 6 is an undertaking which ranks as one of the most exciting for me in the history of the site. sulci, who has already been kind enough to take over video editing for Shufflingdead, will also be working on the site’s layout, taking its quality to the highest realm. I will be helping out by making some of the older content’s URLs search engine friendly.

Phase 7: Increase user interactivity Shufflingdead has a great forum community, but I’d like to see our readers get more involved with the site, that’s why I will be opening up comments for all of Shufflingdead’s content. It would be possible, although unfeasibly frustrating and dangerous, to link the forums and front page, and so users will need to register separately for each service. Coming soon.

Phase 8: Update EVEN MORE Shufflingdead has a great number of theoretical volunteers, but few of them contribute with any regularity. Actually, few of them contribute at all. I will be leaning on my volunteers and on myself for higher output. Personally, I plan on clearing out a backlog of news stories I’ve been meaning to post, and then beginning a furious round of article writing.

Let’s begin the operation.
