I'm making plans to help get the word out about these GomTV vods and maintain a central location where people can access all of my stuff. I can't do this alone. I need help from other people and i'm looking for volunteers.
I need people with web design skills. I want a web page where people can get access to all my material without having to use google or thumb through different threads. I'm thinking about putting other humorous stuff up and maybe some merchandise. It would also be a place where SC replays would be posted of myself and other SC gamers.
On the other side of my project i need a handful of people who can help me get news posted about upcoming casts. While i can always get my news posted on tl.net or gosugamers.net, i would like to get this stuff on as many sc web pages as possible. I'd also like to get this information on other generic e-sports web pages too.
Please PM me if you think you could help me out. The more accessible we can make these English casts the more likely we are to see an increase of them in the future.
Thanks <3

What about getting your own section on Teamliquid? Called Korean Professionality feat. Tasteless ? I mean Teamliquid is the biggest coverage site you will find concerning starcraft and korea.
If you want an own homepage (choose whatever URL you like, if you can pay it) and ask for example zatic to help you out. He's a great coder, but I don't know about his PHP/HTML skills.

do you have a server where you could store it?

If you are looking for a professional e-commerce website, I can help. I've been in the web design / internet development business for 5 years, and creating a starcraft-related site would be a blast. I've done everything from simple 5 page sites to web-based applications for the government.
This would not be volunteer work. I can show you my portfolio and we can discuss payment options. I have also worked out revenue sharing arrangements in the past.
I'm sure you have friends or acquaintances that know a little HTML, but I make my living by building profitable websites for my clients. PM me if you are interested.

Great idea, but I bet that kind of sites produce huge amounts of traffic...

i was mainly planning on doing links to my vids while in the future getting other servers to host different videos i would be making. i was also thinking of setting up a weekly show where i talk about gaming.

i think ivvy was asking if you have a domain or web server already set up. usually ppl can design and code the site for you but you have to bear the cost of the server + domain etc...

we could all start to use tasteless "smilies" all the time instead of regular smilies
i would be a little apprehensive of this catching on but it cud turn out fun

Setting up a basic website and helping with Wordpress is not a biggie. I can do that for a very limited amount (I will pay for it obviously), However customising it and then getting the stuff (live news feeds) and stuff seems to be a bit out of my skill level.. so if you are willing to experiment, send me a pm..

I'll offer my 2 cents mostly on what I think makes web pages sort of suck. First of all, I don't "follow" the pro scene all that much. I know there's 4 leagues, osl, msl, proleague, and gomtv. Most websites give news in a calendar format, without any regard for the tournament. So for a more passive addict of SC, this causes a lot of problems. By the time I know a player I like played a match, 2 other tournaments worth of news has been posted (or not posted), and then I have to go through 4 threads of live reports to find out which tournament the game occurred. Then I have to go to SC2gg.com and search through 14 commentators looking to see if it's been done in English. Then if it's that tournament where there's like a round robin (I think it was msl) in groups sometimes labeled 1-9 and other times a-i, I have to find a 4 month old thread on tl.net listing who's in the groups since this data appears nowhere else I guess.
Now for constructive criticism for what would make the formatting of a website good for an audience like me.
1) Have GOMTV news. Like a section where that's all you can read. Friday matches blah blah blah. next line Tuesday matches blah blah blah. Pick either pregame talk, or post game review and only post that in the news. If you have pregame talk make sure the date and time of the game is very visible. If it's post game talk, or simply a link to the video have this updated as close to real time as possible.
If you were to take on other events like WCG, either have a "special" news section, or if it's ongoing like maybe you comment for OSL and GOMtv have two different news sections. one for gom one for osl.
2) If your going to have a collaboration with other commentators, perhaps have links to their videos either in the news, or the first post. I'm sure everyone has their "favorite" commentators, and it really sucks when you watch a game in korean then find out a week later the favorite covered the game. So also perhaps have a "english commentary by _____ to come".
3) Make sure the players are labeled clearly in each match.
I know you're going to get a lot of die hard fans replying, and the don't mind or don't notice these problems, but I think if there's a reach for a broader audience these are key points to consider when you choose your website format.
