Would anyone want me to compile a list of all the active NeoGAF blogs by category? Maybe we can even have NeoGAF blog awards!

As long as we separate film and television so we're not competing against each other, I LOVE this idea. :P.

But no, seriously, it'd be fun.

Alright cool, after finals week, I'll make a new thread (since there are a ton of inactive ones in here). I'll then compile all the entries in each category. we can have a vote :) It's gonna be awesome. Depending on how many TV and Film blogs there are we can probably separate them :)

What about writing blogs? As in, people trying to push their own writing, or blogs about writing? Because I would love to get into that category, if possible.

I just post my art, work in progress stuff as well as finished, talk about games and other random stuff also :)

I update it around once a week, had a slow couple of months though, but that's changing

Got a new theme for my music blog, what do you think? http://www.iampopularculture.com/
I liked the old theme a little better. The three priority posts vs the others is somewhat distracting. Also with music blogs, one of the best things is to be able to view/listen to anything that you might be promoting. the theme design cuts down on your ability to have the streaming play button. The Equilibrium Theme works great if you have extended content to read.

Did you remove your streaming MP3 plugin? You really need to install that again.

I'd look into this theme with some modifications.

Thanks for the advice, I really like the masinop theme. :)
Does your knowledge of good themes mean you have your own blog? Or have you already posted it?
 
I don't read a lot of blogs (I know I should), but I've been blogging on Myspace for a while now. I'd like to move on to something a bit more anonymous (?) and professional, does anyone have any recommendations on sites?

blogger, wordpress.com, tumblr are a good place to start.

Isn't that exactly what I use?



Thanks! How does one link? I think I had a blog roll on the side and I deleted it by accident. I'll check:)

EDIT: Figured it out!

Btw I tried to leave a comment, but apparently I couldnt cause I didnt fill out the word verification ... only problem is that there WASNT anything of that sort to fill out :\
 
Raging: Ok thanks for the info, I deactivated it outright.
element: Ah now I see it. I could see myself using that if I have more content, like more images and sections and such. I'll definitly look into using another theme when the blog becomes more complete:) Thanks!
 
Ambience of Media

I never posted my 'new' blog here. The old one's still listed on the first page but I moved everything over to a self-hosted WordPress version towards the end of '07 with a new theme and name. Then it sat stagnant for months when I was working constantly, but I've been up to speed all year having fun with it.

Mostly thoughts/news/critiques of film, television, music and occasionally comics and games. Basically anything that interests me in consumable media. I'm always finding excuses to tweak the code and fiddle around, which is fun. Someday I might try and build a theme by myself, but that'll surely be a long ugly process.
 
Found out recently that I got a job teaching in Japan for at least a year. I decided that it would be fun to post my random adventures and pictures from my time there on a blog. For one thing, it will be easier to direct people requesting updates there rather than repeat myself ad nauseum. Also I think being able to look back and remember my experience in words and pictures will be a great thing to have down the road.

I leave in a couple of months so the updates will be slim until then, but once I'm there you can expect plenty of interesting/funny/wacky stories and hopefully a nice mixture of beautiful photos and just plain weird (Engrish!) pictures.

ahh, I know I realized I said I would do the contest, but I have an internship in NYC which results in me only being online about 30 minutes out of the day. If we can wait until later, I'd be glad to do it, but for now no time :/
 
So figured this would be a good place to post this...we are current still looking for more writers for my site! If you join you can attend free, early press screenings to review films! PM if interested. Thanks.
 
Belfast said:
Free screenings, eh? What's the catch? Can these be attended just anywhere? Just not sure how that sort of thing works.

If there is a certain advertising agency in your area I can set it up. Terry Hines or Allied Adv would be the best, since that is who I already deal with. Although after posting this I just got 5 new applications for writers, so we will see! Feel free to apply though.
 
Yeah, I'm not close enough to any major population centers where I live right now, so it seems like it would be an impossibility. I still might consider submitting an app, but if someone else can attend screenings, they're clearly the better candidate. :)

Ah ok, well looking for some news writers. Any original features/article ideas would be great as well.

Sorry for the short notice, but applications are closed. I got an INSANE response. Glad to have new people join the team.
 
Haven't posted in a while because I have been busy with work but my blog is basically me ranting on things or making jokes. Some decent skymall spoofs in one post. I am going to try to ramp the content back up this coming week. Oh yeah, if you hate Jimmy Fallon definitely give it a look.

Some of those topics sound damn interesting. I think I shall.
