Wildwood Doo Wop.com

Well, we did it!

The site is officially launched and we’ve had more than 20,000 page views about one new registration every hour.

Very exciting.

A couple of you have had questions. So here is a preliminary “Frequently Asked Questions”:

Q: I have a whole slew of pictures. Am I able to post these images?

A: For now, photos can only be sent to us via email (photos@wildwooddoowop.com). We are working on a photo upload process that will streamline the process, but we want to be able to screen the photos to prevent inappropriate material. Also, we want to be able to attribute the photos to the contributor. We’ll update everyone when we’ve got the upload running.

So here’s what we recommend: You can submit your ’spots’ to the site (with address and name, etc.) and email the photos separately. Please provide a brief description in the email , and we’ll include them in the appropriate place’s “details” page.

Q: What do you do with my profile information? I’m concerned about whether the first and last names recorded in user profiles are going to be visible to anyone other than site administration.

A: We do not post any of the information in your profile publicly. Only site admin (Al, Corey & Troy) can view your profile. Your username and IP address is logged in our database to track who contributes (and block spammers.) We may, in the future, list this on the ’spots’ pages (i.e. “Updated by homer (138.39.7.3) on 12/5/06″), but we do not right now.

Your profile page has an option of how to display your name publicly. This setting will only apply to the replies you make to posts in this ‘News‘ page.

So, in short, we only require a username and an email address if you want to contribute. If you are uncomfortable typing your name in anything–simply don’t.

Thanks for using the site. Keep the questions and suggestions coming!
