Is there anyway that form can be streamlined somehow?


Honestly, that's why I've been somewhat lagging on my reviews. It takes longer to fill that form out than writing the actual review. That, or I'm stuck in a lazy rut. Still, I'd like to see a form that invites a person to write a review, not turn them off.

Honestly, it's not very user friendly.

I'm just saying.

Stay tuned for my JCVD UK import review.


;)

See the avatar. Trust the avatar. Fuck Best Buy.

you can just email me, mr g. nate@project-blu.com. due to formatting, you'd just HAVE to make sure to designate paragraph breaks (using -------, for example).

the form can be a pain, but it does make our job of converting it SO easy.

Scan it, nope it's not midget porn. I promise.

K Cheez, question. Since your really the only person now that uses the guest review form ( :'( ) what would you like changed? I can look into finding a new way to submit them if need be.

I could do as Jack and I started doing, he has something like a template it uses in a word program, don't know which, but I'm assuming it's Microsoft Office since that is where it opens on my computer. His "template" is basically the same as the form, he just types it all in, and emails the file to me. It's quick easy, and less time consuming. You can also add the pics you want, in the file.

This is not just for Cheez, if anyone is interested in doing a guest review, let me know what you want changed. If anyone wants to see an example of how jack does his reviews let me know and I will foward an email containing one of his reviews, you will have to download the file to your computer to view it though.

And please note, just because I said I think it's Microsoft Office he is using doesn't mean that is what you have to use, any typing program should work, notepad excluded. You send it in that, it better already be HTMLed :p

True, I started e-mailing in my reviews lately and Ran and I agreed that it's somewhat easier for both of us.

Running on Office 2007 -Word, just follow the format of any PB Reviews and plug in the pictures where you want using the copy and past function. Also include all Extra, BD and Movie information as in the typical guest review form to makes Ran's life a little easier.

If you need to see the format, like Ran said, he'll e-mail you one of mine. :billp:

Sounds good. I'll play around with templates for future reviews.


As far as the form goes, I think it should just be revamped. It's a scary looking thing that is very intimidating. :-/



Randell, could you send me a sample template of what Jack uses? That would be awesome.
