Chronicles of Elyria Crafting Blog

Update: Discord link expired so replaced it with one that will never expire.

TL;DR

Discord Invite Link

I'm going to be starting a website based on crafting in Chronicles of Elyria in the next 3 to 4 weeks, and I'd like to invite as many members of the community to join the Discord now so we can start talking about ideas for the site and other things that might be useful.

Please join the discord and we can start the discussion rolling. It'll be quite a comprehensive website so will take some time to get up and running, but I'm hoping that by working together we can make something pretty cool.

I'll be attempting to become an decent alchemist and would be interested, however have a few logistical questions.

Who is the work horse, developing the site ?

who is covering the hosting fee's? will it be donation?

how much time would you be willing to dedicate to updating,organizing and structuring the almost 30 different sub category's of crafts?

How will it differ/succeed the wiki already in place?

Hi. Thanks for the questions.

I'll be handling the website system administration (installing and maintaining the website on my server).

I'll also be paying the initial costs to get everything going but I might not be able to afford to have a designer do an excellent job on the look and feel so might need to use free templates at the start on the wiki and the blog. I might be able to work something out on the forum and then at a later date have someone copy the forum theme for the blog and wiki.

It'll be a community effort with a blog, a wiki and a forum and I'm trying to get other people interested in helping out. It is an enormous task, and I won't be able to do it all on my own, so hopefully, if we work together, we can get some things done together.

Most MMOs have official wikis and then fan sites that also include a wiki. The fan sites have the advantage in that they have a group of people dedicated to a single topic (in this case crafting) so everyone is working together.

Donations would be accepted but are not required.

I think a lot of people will want to protect their craft, keeping recipes, technology, and strategies secret to advance their own fame and status.

I never understood why some wp themes have black frames around them. I would recommend playing around with some of the theme's CSS. Personally I like darker schemes, but there are lots of other options too. Also, if you're looking for a good custom page styler, Elementor is by far the best in it's class. Quick, simple, and robust. Anyway, good luck with the blog. It's got a ton of future potential! :)

I'm actually looking for someone to pay to do a Wordpress and Mediawiki theme but it is hard to find someone trustworthy. If you have any recommendations then let me know either here or via private message.
