I dont think you actually "come up with an idea" for news... telling from the examples that did make the cut, it looks like anything that has to do with anything Bungie, maybe fan sites, tribute sites, many people make Halo movies and open archives that are never found and submitting news that tell the site sounds like a decent candidate. If i really wanted my news on the front page.... i'd probably work hard to make a site that archives all of my Halo Covers with the guitar, tabletures for those songs, some of the comics that i have made using pics from the game and action figures, recordings of big games among me and my friends... as for the actual news, it'll have to have a good "hook sentence" at the beginning like: "My new site has opened up and it has a lot of features! Including: Comics, tabs, videos, and more!" yep... and the rest would probably sound kind of like: "That's right, if you want to see all things halo from a fans point of view, come to www.ilovehalos.blam to find a complete tribute site to bungie and it's games." ok, so maybe that's a little crappy, but that might stand a chance. And if more people submit something like that, we might be able to wash out the crappier ones by making it easier for Bungie to find the decent news. P.S. the site above is not real, it could be real if i had the energy to put all that stuff together... but.... no.... sheesh, all that to get some news on the front page... but it would be great [Edited on 4/7/2005]
