Belegarth

Start using this on stuff:


We need a mobile web site, so does your realm. I am still working on setting one up for our guys, once I do I will share it with you all.

If you want to gat a code to put on your posters for your realm here is a link to get it done: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/

That is all for now. Go get 'em.

Thanks, Cib! I love this ****.

I'm ign'int.

How does the barcode-thingy work? What does it do? What's the purpose?

A QR (quick response) code is a barcode that can contain a lot of information in a small space. They have a lot of uses, but in practical terms, if you have a smart phone, you can download an app that'll allow you to scan a QR code which usually leads your phone to a website. This one in particular takes you to the Belegarth homepage.

So, for example, if you slap this code on a flier at your local comic book shop and somebody with a smart phone passes by and wants to know more, they can scan the code and go straight to our homepage. Oftentimes, if I'm just walking around and I spot a flier with a url, I'll forget about it by the time I get home, but if there's a QR code, I can look it up on my phone and bookmark for future reading (like on the bus, or at the bank etc.). There's no reason not to use them.

Use a barcode reading program on a smart phone (I use Barcode Scanner for 'driod) and it reads the QR code. This one (after scanning it off my comp screen) links you up to belegarth.com

They're a quicker way to get someone somewhere on a smart phone. It removes the need to say "go to belegarth.com" since when you scan it the program automatically prompts you to go there :-)

Ok, here is a first attempt at a mobile site:

Not very pretty I know, now trying to think about how to best work in a multi page set up.

Wow, that's ingenious.

Really cool way to take advantage of tech guys. I'm impressed.

"It says loaner weapons free on first visit" What are they after the first?

Yeah, I thought that was kind of odd too. It makes it sound like we're trying to profit from something. Maybe say "loaner weapons available for new members." I'd also like to see a contact number for each realm.

hmm... I might wordsmith that some. It is based of a peace of advice Bangor gave a long time ago.

Bangor:

I'll tell you the same thing that I tell the Amt group. "Free loaner weapons on first visit." Mundanes assume that things cost money, and they'll think they are getting over on the first visit. When they fall in love with hitting people with sticks, they'll be much happier to know it's all absolutely free. You need that worm, though.

Also, someone bite the * bullet and take phone calls. Put someone's phone number on there, and expect 2-3 calls weekly at best.

Hmm... Probably should put my number on there after reading that again.
