Join @FOXPOP

Want to join the @FOXPOP collective?

In order to join the @FOXPOP collective you will need to be able to maintain your own website or Blog. We do have some web space available, using Dreamweaver MX - but you need to be able to assemble and administer your own site/material.

As group endeavour we would ask all participants to help defray the costs of running and maintaining the two sites we use.

  1. A standard annual subscription of UKP 20.
  2. If you would like web space too - then an additional UKP 10 - making UKP 30.
  3. As we are starting in June, to run from June 2004 to June 2005 initially.

How it works

We envisage the arrangement working like this.

  • All member websites and Blogs will have their names/logos on the @FOXPOP Home Page, with links.
  • As a member you will have website access in order to post news of your latest reviews and articles on the @FOXPOP website, where it will be advertised and included in XML feeds etc. Links will go straight from @FOXPOP through to the article on your website. We ask for a return link at the end of the article, so readers can return to the main articles page http://www.foxpop.co.uk/articles/default.htm or your article's page where they can then post comments.
  • You can post whenever you want (there is no deadline for a monthly publication as before).
  • You will be responsible for the editing and assembling of your own content - and the online copyright will remain with you solely.
  • We ask that you display the @FOXPOP logo on your site, and if possible to use the style sheets, navigation system, logos etc. which are distinctively @FOXPOP.
  • Each member will have an @FOXPOP email address (we can provide the javascripting so that placing it on your site in an active form will not attract automated spidering).
  • If you need web space, we can arrange it (as mentioned above) on the FoxPop.com web servers. If enough of us use the facility it will make it easier to add a search engine to that space for readers. The FoxPop.com web space can be accessed by FTP, for easy uploading, and each user can have their own folder/directory there. It has been administered using Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004, but I don't know if we need to standardise on one program - we will have to discover that one! Graphic: Smiley face
  • There will be style sheets (CSS), logos, navigation buttons etc. available for all members.
  • If there are problems with the main website, then David Lenton (email: ) is the webmaster for the new system, and he is the man you need to contact! Graphic: Smiley face

We do hope that you like the whole concept, and find it useful, and that it proves to be a viable and enjoyable way of keeping the FoxPop idea moving forward!
