Purple Pain Podcast/Blog

Update about this: 

Sounds like Matthew wants to create his own site for a more professional look with a simple, clean layout. It'll be like a sister site to us, and he'll give us shutouts in his podcast and articles.

Ideally, we would have created a more professional-looking theme here and made that our default theme to better promote original content ... and it would have worked out that way. One site is ideal, of course. HOWEVER, I get Matthew's wish to have his own thing, especially because he hopes to expand and whatnot.

HOWEVER, because I think having a more professional-looking theme is a good idea in case we ever want to explore bringing in a few writers and doing our own thing ... Reignman and I are working on that now. Once it's up and running, we'll make that the default theme, so it's the one that all newbies see first. But we can all keep our current themes if we want. So, no difference for you if you don't want it! This is just another cool feature if we ever want to branch out.

We're also putting some sidebars on to better promote the forums and other OC when you guys have it. Essentially, when I share your guys' OC ... readers will get the default theme which will also promote your guys' other work, recent forums topics, and all the beautifulness that is Purple Pain. 

To sum it up: I think it's a good option to have, especially as our members here produce OC. That way when it's shared elsewhere and someone checks it out, the links to other forum topics are right there for readers to see. We should have a better "bounce rate" that way. If we can get people clicking around, maybe they'd be more likely to sign up and stick around as opposed as looking at your guys' OC and peacing out.
