How does one 'upvote' on that site? Part of my split personality (G.A. Soros) has commented there also.

Up and down arrows that are more like rotated ><'s at the bottom of each post.
I speak for myself and only myself.

Let's post the articles in one place and sticky it. I'd particularly like to thank everyone who is chiming in on Reddit lately. My handle there is LetsSeeWhatsUpThere. There have been times when just two or three of us have tried to carry a Reddit posting in the right direction. Now it seems like there are far more friendlies posting there from the BitShares community; it's starting to look like we have a pulse! Thanks and keep up the good work.

My understanding is that reddit has put a lot of  work to detect bots/people who are upvoting their own stuff.  You can't just game the system like you would be able to do on a forum like Bitcointalk.  So the more legitimate people the far better results we should have.

This is a very important thread and thanks for starting it. We should all check this regularly and contribute to posting responses to these articles. Some, like that Cointelegraph one (to which I've been posting as G.A. Soros) are terribly inaccurate pieces of "journalism". Readers deserve some rebuttal so they can form a clearer picture of what's going on in 2.0.

I suggest taking a look at something newer like: http://buildwithcraft.com/

A more modern version of a content management system.

(New site on wp base)
A Little more patience - new site is on the Way and will launched soon...
wp == wordpress?

So a few more community members could get read/write access to articles to that we can work that site, too?

I personally, like static (s)HTML pages more but for collaboration WP might be a better choice!

Thanks for keeping us posted

Yup exactly wp = wordpress

Yes indeed i like static site even more, but for less technical Users i guess wordpress is easier to Control und also to push new Content ..

In the name of delegation I let Brian, Gregory, and Stan decide.  Obviously I like the static content because it was easier for me and community members to fix.  But it was impossible for Stan, Gregory, or Brian to handle raw HTML.

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

In addition this major news article links to

http://bitshares.org/exchange/

http://bitshares.org/voting/

http://bitshares.org/music/

But these subsections are horrible.
We always need to trace connections: where do people come from, what are they likely to click, what will they then see.
