Title: Do you blog? Post it here!
Post by: Raggit on Wed 27/09/2006 02:32:16
Do you?  DO YOU?!

I'm fashionably late on the blogging scene, and because I'm always full of political opinions, I thought, "Hey, why not tell the internet?"  (And I DIDN'T come to these forums?!)

Anyway, post your blog here, if you have one.  As soon as I get mine rolling, I'll post it, too.

Yes.
http://ahmetkeles.blogspot.com/ is my real blog page, but it is only in Turkish. I had started another blog that was supposed to be in English,  http://cafeofbd.blogspot.com/ , but I didn't post anything else since nobody had read (or at least comment on) it.

Well, I update my Turkish blog page very frequently. It is an important place for me; I share my dreams, thoughts etc. with my really close friends.

I post game related stuff, specifically amateur game related stuff on my blog at

http://www.xiigames.com

I don't post terribly often, but I try to put up information that would be helpful for game making hobbyists such as myself.  I hope someday someone finds it useful...

A few pertinent posts:

Restricted game development (http://xiigames.com/2006/07/18/restricted-game-development/) - About the advantages and disadvantages to being an amateur game developer compared to a professional game developer.

Story Wars: Episodes one (http://xiigames.com/2006/07/24/story-wars-episode-i-jaffe-vs-slashdot/), two (http://xiigames.com/2006/07/25/story-wars-episode-ii-danc-attacks/), and three (http://xiigames.com/2006/07/27/story-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-story/) - about the importance of story to a game.

And of course, the Twelve (http://xiigames.com/2006/05/08/twelve-interviews-1-rebecca-clements/) Interview (http://xiigames.com/2006/05/19/twelve-interviews-2-josef-purdez/) Series (http://xiigames.com/2006/05/23/twelve-interviews-3-francisco-gonzalez/)

Ah, an opportunity to pimp my artblog ^_^

http://mashpotato18.livejournal.com

Just a place where I put my drawings up, as I finish them.  Unlike my website, I also post sketches in addition to my finished stuff there (plus, my blog is actually kept up-to-date).

I have been thinking of starting up an art blog kinda like that. My only issue was getting one with an easy to use gallery-archiver thingy...

Anybody have any ideas?

If you have MySql and php I would go with WordPress.
I should add if you don't or don't want to mess with that you can get a LiveJournal and get the option of their gallery with a paid account.

I'm not sure if this is what you were thinking of, but in LiveJournal you can tag your entries into different categories (eg. WIPs, finished, doodles) and use those tags to filter your entries... here's an example, to show you what I mean: http://gymnopedie.livejournal.com/
However, I haven't bothered to do that, so I don't know how user-friendly (or not) it is to do it.

I love submitting art stuff, too. I use DeviantArt for this; my dA page is http://coolblue-gord10.deviantart.com/
I'd suggest you to use also dA for submitting art.

I don't blog...

I do have a net journal where I write on random intervals about anything that might cross my mind between the earth and sky, and sometimes maybe even beyond. And I don't know if anyone reads it, and doesn't really bother me. It's not pretty read anyway. If you're really interested, you'll find it yourself...

The problem with blogs is that way too many people have one, and way too few are anything more than self-absorbed pretentious comedian-wannabe/emo ramblings.

That's kinda the way I felt about it.  I'm still trying to get interested in it, but I may just delete mine if I don't find a practical use for it.

"Laugh damnit, I'm funny" haha.
Seriously though, I enjoyed the parts where you actually wrote about your life more than your comics, like the episode with Wonka and the coincidental meeting with a stranger in cyberspace, things like that intrigue me. The comics were good too, but the style isn't my personal favourite.

I agree many blogs are like that, but I think people are allowed a little self-asorption now and then if they don't make a big deal out of it.  Are my drawings good enough that they demand to be seen?  No, but I like to display it anyway.  Are people's opinions/lives important/interesting enough to be read by others?  Not always, but they are free to express it.  If everyone keeps in mind that just because people can see their stuff it doesn't make their stuff any higher/lesser quality, I don't see the harm.

Well, I never said we should arrest all blog-writers without a trial, and place them in secret prisons in Europe. OR DID I? Of course people are free to write those blogs, but I don't really see who'll have time to read them when everybody's busy writing their own blogs.

Anyhow.
Anarcho, I totally dig Dune too. It's so wonderfully absurd you just gotta love it. And all those pompous quotes...man it's good.

It's terrible, but we all have to make a living. I started with a few controversial topics, then everything turned into the talk about how to get money on the Internet, then there was a NBA Live 2006 review, and I expect to return to good-ole controversial topics extremely soon. Because everything else is boring. Hehe.

I have a blog, but I don't really use it for blogging, I mostly use it for easy content updates on my site, and since recently I haven't had any time to work on any games there hasn't been a whole lot of updating. This way I just type in what I want to say, put it in the right category, and when people visit the particular news section for whatever topic, they see the stuff that pertains to it.

Andail!  i'm glad to hear you also appreciate Dune.  I don't know why people dislike it so much.  I mean, it's amazing!

As for emo/personal blogs...they're only interesting if the person is really hot and you're obsessing about them...at least in my experience.

My blog is mostly about politics and DC, or things that annoy me that happen in DC.  But Dune also comes up occasionally.  Cause it's so awesome.

I use MySpace. I'll admit it. I'm not ashamed. My blog is here (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=52202213)...though I mostly just write whenever I decide I have something I think people should know. Not just whenever I feel something. I'm not the type of person to write a blog about "Today I felt an emotion. That emotion was this: ..." I also write poetry/songs (lyrics). Sometimes. Though if you look at my blog you'll see that I don't really write that often.

So did I, a bit earlier though. www.renvallt.blogspot.com
It's in Finnish, so nothing great for you, but it's basically a diary of how I'm getting on with this clever project of mine. I accepted the challenge of listening to all the songs from this one girl-energy-pop/rock band www.tiktak.fi at least once a day for the whole months. That is appr. 74 songs per days, the same ones. How far am I? read there, or look here www.last.fm/user/Tuomu/

I am sorry for necroposting, but I didn't want to open a new thread for my humble blog page.

I want to introduce my new English blog page:
Reverie River (http://reverieriver.blogspot.com/)

It will be mainly about my works including stuff from my new game (but now there is only a meeting talk and some personal rant here).

I hope my English is more readable than before :)
