Thanks GlassJoe! I'll look into adding screenshots soon. Thing is I have a very slow conputer and I rarely use it, soI use my iPad to post blog updates and I don't really know how hard it is to put screenshots up through iPad (Its probably not much harder than a pc so I'll deffinitly try or start using my PC once a week to do it.) or maybe I can link to the game page on Nintendo.com...

4 new reviews are up today. While this will be a 3DS centric review site (Since I play it the most and have the most games on it) I still will have reviews from other systems (Wii, Psp, iOS, etc) later in the year. I'm also happy with the amount of search options I added to the top of the blog.

Edit: Pictures for all reviews are now up.

Forgot about this thread, as it doesn't tend to get bumped. But anyway, yeah I think the pics you put up with the reviews give the site a better look.

Anyway, the struggle I had with my previous blog is I seemed to enjoy designing it more than creating content for it, haha. Switching from iPhone games (which was just a fad for me) to rock / pop music (which I've loved my whole life) seems a lot more comfortable for me. Though I'm only a month in, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to stick with it. As long as it slowly keeps growing, I guess. http://www.superloud.net since I hadn't mentioned it in my last couple posts and it's a new page, if anyone's interested.
 
Streamlined the design of my blog a bit and I've also concentrated on writing more editorials to support my attempt at finding a copy writing job. Give it a look please!

Ha, thanks... yours looks a lot better though! I need to do a redesign, but I'm getting discouraged because a lot of the ideas I have seem like there's a million and one sites out there like it. My job is taking up most of my time so I've been slacking on it a bit...

It really looks like you busted your ass on the redesign! Looks like a lot of work!
 
Hello Guys & Gals,

I have been going to this physio clinic since it opened and was friends with the owners before it opened. They specialize in spinal cord injury & other neurological disorder rehab. A lot of the times physiotherapy clinics are boring almost depressing places so Aim2Walk was designed to almost be like a social hub and be uplifting. Anywho, here's my first blog entry on our/their blog. And yes, it is slightly video game related ;)

Neurochangers - Is the future more than just a game?

& the clinics site is Aim2Walk
 
*sigh* Okay I'll bite.

I've been running a gaming blog at 1up for the past few years that I still manage to update on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Mostly just my thoughts on the industry along with game impressions. Be gentle.

Thought I'd advertise my little blog: http://unnecessarywords.com

It's dedicated to words and the like. Check it out.

I love it! Perfect ponderings. Excellent english too. It reminds me of my High School history teacher, he had this big Stop-sign above the door but with Like in place of Stop and a slash, x, cross through it. High school girls in particular used this word like a lot.

Excuse my grammar, I tend not to care online and see it as relief!
 
I am dabbling in one right now, with no coherent aim. So far I have touched on atheism/beliefs/funny stories/masturbatory fiction about Jesus and others. English is not my primary language so there's that. I want to further explore how we are frail, erroneous little creatures scampering about and how I am totally fine with that.

It is called Rogue Epilogue and it is mostly written for me, but decided to make it public.

Oh, wow. Thanks for the kind words. It's much appreciated.
 
I run a gaming site, feel free to check it out. I'm not going to lie, there's nothing special, I don't have to time to add too much to it.

If however, there's people out there that fancy writing reviews or whatever then PM me. All the games I get are PAL as I'm in the UK.

Some nice blogs in here. I plan on starting an investment and business blog too. Right now I have a gaming blog that's more about the business of games and observations more than posting news. I haven't been posting much though. Anyway here is the link http://wiiuverse.blogspot.com/ It focuses more on Nintendo.
 
I pimped our first episode a while ago and I'm stoked we've actually managed to put out a new podcast every week. We go to 11 now!

Josh and Jay's Excellent Videogame Show
Episode 11: Nintendo Revolution

This week Josh and Jay are joined by special guest Josh Drake (Co-Host of Pillow Storm) as they long for an HD Wii, get their asses handed to them in Marvel VS Capcom 3, tip a 40oz for Gamepro, skip the dialogue in Skyrim and much, much more!

I just started a blog earlier this week. I don't know how long I'll keep at it, but it's been fun so far. Just did a nice in-depth post on my thoughts on writing.

"the coming ant uprising"

Oh, the secret's out. Nice knowing y'all.


Aside from that, I also started a blog:

http://www.thinkingmansgame.net/

where I will blog on just about everything gaming related. If I say it is related anyway. :P
I have started to notice that I'm "tone deaf" to good writing in English though. Not sure why that is. Anyway, advice and such is more than welcome.
 
I may as well pimp my blog too!

http://getfityou.com/

Basically its a fitness diary. 30 years playing video games has wreaked havoc on my general fitness level!

It was time I done something about it.

Been at the gym for around 3 months now but seriously fell off the wagon over Christmas. Back on it now doing an intense as fuck workout routine.
 
Been working on this side project for a while, just published it yesterday:

www.ekostories.com

My blog consists of essays that revolve around different stories in different mediums I've come across that explore the relationships between nature and culture. I'll be looking at not just stories from novels, but also films, documentaries, video games, non-fiction, art, commercials, anything that has an interesting narrative.

First few entries will be of Ursula K. Le Guin's first Earthsea trilogy (an analysis of A Wizard of Earthsea is already up), followed by a video game (hopefully GAFfer's will find it interesting), a documentary, and a Studio Ghibli movie.

Updates will come in weekly installments. If you like Le Guin's fantasy and sci-fi stories, Hayao Miyazaki's films, and Michael Pollan's food and nature writing, this should be right up your alley.

Any suggestions for my blog are appreciated; it's my first time actually doing a blog. I'm currently quite happy with the layout and the look of the site, but I would welcome ideas about widget inclusion and/or layouts.

(As an aside, I would heartily recommend Wordpress.com for anyone interested in starting out a blog. Easy to use, looks good.)
 
Hey guys,

So my blog just started getting a bunch of hits, and the "traffic sources" referring site lists facebook.com

Any idea how to get a url to the actual page? Im trying to figure out who linked to me. Twitter does give out a specific link URL, as does reddit.

I would like to know this too if anyone knows. It's sorta neat seeing where traffic comes from.
 
The only blog I am doing is a small blog for my company.

But I am not sure I can post it here since perhaps it can be construed as advertisement...?

I mean, if it's okay, then I will post the link here, but I'm not sure.

i think its okay in this thread, its not like you're trying to silently promote your company by pretending like you dont work there.

I envy you. I tend to be unable to find the will to write a damned thing without leaving the country.

And I am a million fucking miles from the conventional diarist temperament, so it bothers me that something about the medium of blogging does this to me.
 
^^^^

I like your cat watercolour. Was there an inspiration in another work? I remember seeing a famous sculpture of a sleeping cat while in Japan. I tried to comment but couldn't log in for some reason.

I think it's a matter of putting your thoughts to print, no matter how daft you might think they are. I just updated my blog while drunk with this huge rant about how to build a spaceship.

Thanks! This was done for class, the requirements where to include: a cat, chair, fish, mask, cage and a letter or number. We then had to decide on a narrative to go along with that. I was influenced by Japanese art. I think my concept was "kitty is dreaming." Thanks for checking it out, not sure why it didn't let you log in.
