Tags >> Website Development Log

RotoExperts basically offers the same things we do, and I'll be doing much of the same things I do over there that I did here. The kicker is that I now have a staff of 37 to work with instead of a staff of seven. I have two masters of business operations out there making deals, and I'll be working in tandem with Scott Engel and a couple of other managers to help everything run smoothly.

I'll contribute my "Gawron's Grids" rankings, projections, cheat sheets, and schedule analysis to RotoExperts, and they're chock full of great audio and video broadcasting content, which will expand even more. They also cover other sports like NHL, NASCAR, MMA, golf, and more. I will spend the next several months tidying up the form (aesthetics) and function (organization, layout, navigation) of the RotoExperts website. And finally, I'll get to implement a statistical player database, starting with the 2011 baseball draft kit, which I've wanted to do at RotoCommunity but never had the chance, as I was the CEO, COO, Editor in Chief, and webmaster, and web developer all in one. I'll still do a lot of that at RotoExperts, but I'll have LOTS of help.

I'm excited, and you should be too! So head on over to the new RotoExperts, and enjoy the ride with us!

Sincerely,

Dave Gawron

Review system in place

Well, the big step has been taken, as 1,200+ players are now in the system. I am in the process of inviting friends to register and post more reviews before we completely release the site to the public. The current review pages are styled pretty nicely as is, but I do plan on going further and further to optimize things as much as possibly. Hopefully I can get some stats in there in the not too distant future. Also up next: a Links page, a FAQ page, a Forum, and more and more and more...

Website Development Update

Well, so far so good.

We have Joomla 1.5 powering the site, along with the sh404sef search engine friendly link extension, the jomsocial community management extension, and the MyBlog and JomComment extensions.

Next up: jReviews powering our player profiles, which will allow for community driven fantasy analysis and dollar values/rankings.
