Re: Mini-sites?

Ah, yeah, I had more content there a couple years ago but took it down for revising when I moved my domain, and I think I might have merged some of the pages - the site's been up for 5 or 6 years at this point so I don't really remember well. But yeah, that's the idea and I've got opinions to add too. I was just confused by your wording is all!Todd wrote:I was mostly referring to the FF6 OST fanlisting, which has some basic info + track lists. I was looking at it as if it were mine, and I'd call it a fanlisting. Opinions on the tracks would be a great addition that would lean it towards fan site status in my own personal standards, but in its current state, it has an extended about section, and the fanlisting is the main draw. This is all personal preference, though, as if these were my sites I'm talking about.Larissa wrote:I'm not really sure what you mean by this? I'm not looking to make fanlistings with about pages (I have plenty of those), I'm looking to expand them past a simple about page into a couple more content pages about the subject and why I like it. I linked some examples above. That's why I was looking for a separate name for them. Mini-site seems to work, though, so I think I might go with that. Maybe mini-tribute, as well.Todd wrote:As for fanlistings, I think if you have more fanlisting content than fan site content, I'd probably still refer to the site as a fanlisting, even if it's a fanlisting with a little bit of info.
I do see that it is more than a simple fanlisting though, and I understand the need to want to call it something else.
I stand by my stance that a site is a site is a site, and what we call them doesn't matter. You're free to call the site what you'd like. No one will judge one way or another. :)
I'm happy to see you extending some of your fanlistings! That's what I would want to do with mine if I ran them, because if I'm a huge fan of a subject, I most often have things to write about.
