What’s Gotta Go

I have been trying to figure out where to post announcements about anything pertaining to the site that isn’t really a rant, but couldn’t figure out a place that everyone would see and take advantage of them.  No, I don’t think readers of this site can’t find their way, I just know that unless something is front and center, it is more likely to get missed!  So, I have created a category of “Site News” for posts that are just to let you know what is going on.

First, we have some new authors joining the ranks to share their carefully thought out rants of what just needs to go in their humble observations.  Watch for the author names on posts and see if you end up with some favorites :)  I appreciate all those that have caught on to the fun I have found in writing for this site.

If you haven’t already noticed, there are some options to rank different rants by clicking the stars you think apply.  Also, along with leaving your comments, you can give a thumbs up/down karma to any other comments posted.  Please do all of the above!

You may have also noticed I have added some ads into the content pages.  I can’t tell you to click them, that is is a big no-no in the terms and conditions for Google Ads.  Please do pay attention to them though, they are not there just for looks!  People who pay to advertise through ads are typically serious about their business, and represent some of the people that make the free Internet available to the rest of us.  What is cool about Google Ads is they actually try to make them pertain to the content around them.  Google always amazes me at the innovations and cool tools they continue to come out with.

If you haven’t played with RSS feeds previously, it is a great way to keep up on various sites.  You can get the WGG feed using the links at the top of every page.  If you use Google for searching, you can now customize your search page to include Google Reader that makes it VERY easy to add in RSS feeds.  If anyone needs a tutorial on this, post a reply to this thread and I will find some good instructions.

Are you ‘net savvy on your mobile phone.  I am a happy user of a Treo 650, and I love to pass time in boring meetings, while traveling, etc. by surfing some of my favorite sites.  Now you can include WhatsGottaGo.com on your mobile bookmarks!  Most mobile browsers are automatically detected, so you don’t have to do anything special other than visit our web site address.  How cool is that?

Stay tuned, there is much more in store.  More than anything, please include us in your every day reading.  We love having you, and this site is all about having fun within the community of its members – and that includes you!
