What’s New at TomSlatin.com For 2012

As we say goodbye to 2011, we begin to reveal our plans for 2012. Here are some of the things we can all look forward to in 2012, in no particular order.
First of all, from now on, unless noted otherwise, all WordPress themes are free. Everyone is free to use the themes free of charge at no cost. All you need to do is credit the source. Here are the available themes so far: The Great Outdoors, The Contents Of My Head, Stargazer, Paperwork, Grunge King, and Broken Heart Crane.
Secondly, during the year of 2012, every Friday will be Free Sticker Friday. If you live in the United States, and you want to enter to win a FREE TomSlatin.com sticker, send Thomas an email with the subject Free Sticker Friday with your complete name and mailing address. Each week, our staff will select one lucky winner. You only need to enter once for this weekly drawing. Winners will be mentioned here. (Fine Print: No purchase necessary. Must be 18 years or older, and have a mailing address within the United States of America. Not responsible for lost, misdirected, or returned mail. One winner per week, and winner selection is final.)
Finally, we’re working on greater social media involvement and interaction. This includes the addition of directory pages for the folks behind TomSlatin.com, and links to TomSlatin.com’s related social media profiles.
New! The TomSlatin.com Daily
A new feature is the TomSlatin.com Daily, which is a feed-aggregated E-Newspaper. This newspaper pulls news stories, photographs, media, and articles from official TomSlatin.com sources as well as everyone who is followed by the official TomSlatin.com Twitter account.
As with all other content on TomSlatin.com, this E-Newspaper is completely free of charge and is available to anyone with access to the Internet. If you would like to participate or have your content included, the following are a list of your options.
-
Follow TomSlatin.com on Twitter, and be sure that we follow you back. Feel free to send an @twps message if need be. Although there is no gurantee that your content will be featured, lots of news stories and content is aggregated from tweets in our timeline.
-
Add your content to the TomSlatin.com Group on Flickr. Lots of photos are added to the paper, and we’re always looking for more. Add away! Seriously, start adding some!
-
Send a request to have your feed(s) directly submitted. If you have a blog/flickr account/podcast/whatever that focuses on the topics of writing, photography, or website design, submit the address for consideration. Please note that there is limited space, and that your feeds might be replaced with others some time in the future based upon community feedback.
Any ideas, suggestions, or feedback is always appreciated and helpful. Let’s make this the best E-Newspaper on Paper.li! Leave lots of comments here…
