After a successful and very enjoyable 2008 at BGB<\/em>, we have been working on lots of new features and ideas to improve the site even further in 2009.\u00c2\u00a0 So many in fact that it’s taken a whole month before I’ve had a proper chance to mention it.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of these will already be apparent (the use of other platforms such as Twitter, the launch of ‘seasons’ dedicated to a specific topic) and another will make its debut tomorrow.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Although we use blogging software, we like to think this is more than just a blog (which admittedly does sound like a corny marketing line).\u00c2\u00a0 We publish specific features, like the Baseball Basics for Brits<\/a><\/em> series and book reviews, and our frequent posts often stretch beyond the standard ‘blog’ length.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Longer pieces of writing, particularly features that aren’t date-dependent, don’t always lend themselves so well to the narrow main text box.\u00c2\u00a0 We would like them to stand out more, incorporating images\/photos and tables where they add something to the writing.\u00c2\u00a0 You can do this with blog posts, and we do, but pdfs allow you to do it much more seamlessly.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Therefore, we have created a BaseballGB<\/em> ‘Full Article’ template and design guide\u00c2\u00a0that we\u00c2\u00a0will\u00c2\u00a0use to\u00c2\u00a0complement our current content with more in-depth pieces of work.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first of these is the “Backward K’s and 6-4-3 double plays: Why baseball fans should keep score” article that will be published tomorrow.<\/p>\n

While we are looking forward to researching and writing these\u00c2\u00a0longer articles, we would also be interested to hear from anyone else who would like to join in.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are working on an article that would broadly fit in with our site, or if you have an idea that you\u00c2\u00a0are thinking of\u00c2\u00a0developing into an article, please get in contact by putting matt in front of baseballgb.co.uk in your e-mail address box.<\/p>\n

(Thanks must go to Joe for putting the template and design guide together)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
