[The Oasis Fan Guide] Guide to Creating a Oasis Blog or Website

[Jennifer]

Way hey 200th post!! I figured  I would post about how to create a Oasis blog or site of your own! Here are a few tips:

1.  Do  some surfing.  With a pad and pen or a open Word doc. Surf Oasis sites (even non Oasis sites) see what you  like, what  the sites are lacking and what your most interested in.

2. Have a Notebook. Yea I know, we're all teched out but a notebook helps a lot, especially if your planning a website. I know my first site I have a notebook just filled with ideas, sections,  anything my mind could come up with! Your note book is always there and ready.

3.  Create a theme: Think of the aspect of Oasis your the most interested in. Something that you keep going back too.  Build on that.

4. Don't try to do too much.  I know you and your notebook have BIG plans, but most websites or blogs fail because owners get overwhelmed. 

5.  Promote Your Blog. Yea even here on blogger I have to work to spread the word around about OFG. Add links to forum sigs, and trade links with other sites.

6. Steal One of my Themes. Here are a few themes I would love to see an Oasis fan get down and dirty with:

Oasis TimeLine: Plot  out everything that has happen since say 1967 when Noel was born.  That would be  a great resourse.

Oasis Set list Achieve: Featuring Gig Notes, special appearances, instruments played, etc.

Oasis  Fashion: They are  fashion plates, they can't denied  it! Plus how many times do we have to see a "Do you know to find that Jacket Noel was wearing..." forum post !

Oasis Instruments:  A listing of  all there equiment, down to like  drum sticks!

Oasis Fan Fiction: I have only come across ONE blog like this and to say the least it was err... distrubing...

Oasis Photo Achieve

This should get anyone who want to truly start a blog or a site started. Plus if you need help with banners please send me a email or a comment!
