Reposting from the Weekly Rollup and Open Thread, to ensure we get the word out.
Over the past couple of years, Fort Wayne video guy Porch Moon has been critical in DNN's coverage of area events, including May's two-track Spring Roll tournament, last weekend's Windy City vs. Rocky Mountain bout, and any number of other bouts in Chicago and throughout Indiana.
If you're a regular DNN reader, you've probably noticed that we have a different look right now*. We'd like to thank the Jet City Rollergirls for underwriting our pixels this week, as the current DNN Site Theme Sponsor.
I have been amazed with the long and vigorous debate going on in this month's Power Rankings thread, so I decided to check our database to see which articles are the most commented of all time on DNN. This month's thread comes in at #8 (so far), but y'all sure do love to argue about rankings -- six out of the top ten are ranking threads, the past three months all included.
My trusty MacBook Pro failed right before the Wild West Showdown (well, ok, I tried to upgrade the hard drive myself and managed to zorch the logic board in the process).
Back at the start of the derby year, March 27 didn't really stand out on the calendar. It wasn't a major event or tournament weekend; while there were a couple of interesting bouts scheduled, there weren't any top-10 showdowns; it wasn't clear that live coverage would be available from any more than one or two bouts. Just another Saturday.
We thought you might enjoy a little insight into the steps we take to bring you coverage of a major event like last weekend's Wild West Showdown. Here's a weekend in the life of a DNN live coverage producer. Enjoy!
