We are Oberlin: artistic. Creative. Hosts to some of the most talented and revered musicians, actors, playwrights, and dancers ever to walk the earth…and home to quite a few talented students as well. This post serves to highlight the amazing performers that F+L has had the privilege to cover over the past couple of years. Enjoy! Continue reading
From the Editors
This morning, at around 8:30 a.m., FearlessandLoathing.com’s host was hacked by a notorious Turkish hack-master. Thanks to the quick work of our webmaster, Bruce Lee, we were able to restore our content within two hours. However, since we didn’t have our original format saved, we were forced to push our new and incomplete format.
We’ve done our best to listen to your comments: bigger headlines, less clutter. The “NSFW” or “Drugs/Sex/Rock and Roll” section has been renamed “Risky Business” and, along with the blog, can now be found on the front page.
The website is far from finished: in addition to other projects, we want to change the color scheme and our header. We would love more feedback on the new site. All comments will be taken seriously.
After months of planning, Fearless and Loathing welcomes you back to second semester with a sweet new website. We encourage you to explore our now navigable and practical site. With the backend working the way we want it to, F+L can now concentrate on the content.
For those who want a rundown of the new features, here’s our tour. In the top right corner of your screen, you see a fully functioning search bar, an easy to use question/tip submission popup, and the weather, for when you want to know just how cold it is.
All articles are now divided into four categories: News, Arts, Columns, and Multimedia. These larger categories have subcategories. With the “Subscribe” button on the side of each post, you can subscribe to specific categories, tags and authors. Hovering over links to articles or photographs enlarges the picture or allows you to read the first few sentences of the article before clicking on it.
We have a bunch of useful links and the events are streamed from the college events page. We can always add more links and events, so let us know what we’re missing with the question/tip box. We have a staff page with pictures of our writers and photographers, bios, and a link to their pieces.
The new site has plenty of room to grow. We’re going to make more use of the multimedia boxes. We’ve started a blog that we’ll figure out exactly how to use soon, so have please have some patience if it’s hit or miss. Also, you’ll notice the completely blank faculty box in the columns section. We hope to fill that with professor’s contributions about their interests after the beginning of the year crunch.
And the completely blank white boxes? Ad space! Let us know if you want to advertise on F+L.
There’s lots more little bits we’re sure you’ll appreciate. Please send us any suggestions through the box concerning the website or content.
Finally, we’d like to give a very special thanks to the master of it all, Bruce Lee, for working with us to create this website.
Declaration of Principles. http://www.moma.org/
1. We will provide the people of this college with a website daily that will tell all the news honestly.
2. We will also provide them with a fighting and tireless champion of their rights as citizens and as human beings.
Love,
Fearless and Loathing.com
