    Who would be serious about doing these jobs...?? or is it more of just a day dream for you.

    I'm actually thinking about doing my coaching badges. I been on the Leader's course but i'm a football coach. But Boxing is my first love and i think i'm gonna try get into the coaching side of things.

    I like some of the enthusiasm people shown on here. True fans for sure :good

    Well I think match maker is out of the question (how do you even get into the position of becoming one?). I do like photography/art and I could certainly see myself venturing down that avenue if others become unavailable in the future.

    I think my realistic aims would be in journalism or some sort of business within boxing (which could range from managing a fighter to running a gym). One of these avenues I will certainly be attempting to venture down in the future :good

    I'd have loved to have gone into sports journalism. That'd be my top pick other than competing myself.

    A domain name costs like £2 a year, and a blogger account costs nothing. If people on here are serious, we could easily pull a blog together with the 'ere posters thoughts, feelings and analysis. It could easily include a photography section, linked from Flickr for example.

    I know **** all about building websites :lol:

    I'm sure plenty of posters would write articles, blogs or features on the upcoming fights both here and abroad.

    Jeff Thomas used to write quite a bit for BBN before it disappeared....

    Stew (Longcount) should be working as a graphic designer for one of the promoters out there. He has an undeniably immense talent and is also a nice guy who cares about the sport. Why the **** he isn't designing posters for Warren, Hennessy, Maloney, or even American promoters is beyond me.

    Perhaps he just sees it as a hobby, but of all of the posters on the Brit forum, IMO, he has the ability to actually go out and make a career for himself in the game.

    Thanks a lot. Let's pray that I'll be able to use a non-photoshopped version in the future. :good

    Blogger's genius - no skill required. :)

    I don't mind buying a domain, but I'd need to know if I had regular posters. I'd be looking for guys like yourself, Mandana, TFFP, Losfer, Slip, Gaz... to make regular posts, or regular features or something.

    You'd need an editor and some basic standards, but it's not difficult.
