Petition To Headline More Blogs

Dear Chess.com community.

It came across to me on this date, Friday, December 22nd, 2017, as I was reading an eloquent blog, I realized we as the number one chess website in the world lack one attribute.

When the user clicks chess.com/blogs, he sees many posts written by the most proficient bloggers on Chess.com, both by titled and untitled writers.

The problem that I, for one, see is that many bloggers have invested immense amounts of time and energy in these blogs, and just maybe, Chess.com can give something in return.

Therefore, my formal request to the Chess.com leadership is to consider headlining more blogs, especially those of untitled players. There are many reasons to do so, though I will name a few:

• This action will motivate more users to write on Chess.com, thus giving Chess.com future possibilities when they need more writers writing content.
• When Chess.com headlines blogs, it only enhances the Chess.com community. This is an easy way to expose more chess content on the world's best chess website without having to pay even more titled writers to write articles.
• Chess.com could sure use more club-level players expressing their ideas and lessons to the community. As long as the content is legitimate and appropriate, we have numerous ways we can learn from amateur chess players.

On this topic, I wish to list a few specific untitled users who blog regularly, and who certainly deserves attention from Chess.com (and yes, I did include myself!):

• @chesster3145
• @IndreRe
• @EOGuel
• @Fangbo

And on one last note, I do agree, however, that the Chess.com homepage needs not to be cluttered with untitled content, as titled players as well should get credit where credit is due. Therefore, I will request that at least one untitled blogger has a blog headlined per week. 

If you are reading this in agreement with my written and persuasive statement which you just read, please simply type "HEADLINE BLOGGERS". Please put the words in bold if you are a blogger yourself! Once we get enough users to sign, this petition will be conveyed to Chess.com support as a suggestion.

Also, on that topic, whether you are an active blogger, or simply a fan of blogs/bloggers, please join the Blogosphere, virtually the only active group on Chess.com in relation to blogs.

I do thank Chess.com for all that they have already done for the Chess.com community!

HEADLINE BLOGGERS

WHY NOT ME!

Couldn't you just ask for the right to be attributed to top blogger ?

HEADLINE BLOGGERS

I'm sorry, I don't quite get your question.

Headline Bloggers

HEADLINE BLOGGERS!

Maybe move this to Site Feedback and Suggestions? Or does it get more attention here?

I think "General Chess Discussion" generally gets more attention because it is the first topic that shows up on "forums". Anyways, I always forget to label my topics, lol! 

 HEADLINE BLOGGERS im too lazy to keep up  with a blog lol

HEADLINE BLOGGERS

HEADLINE BLOGGERS

10 signatures! Maybe you should track the number of signatures by editing Post #1?

Hey I've just posted my first blog, about chess problems, so HEADLINE BLOGGERS. I do have a title but it's not one of those recognised by Chess.com. 

I suggest a spreadsheet. Google sheet to be specific. A public google sheet to be even more. And just to be granular, it could contain fields such as "chess.com username", "link to profile", "blogger?".
