New days

You may notice that my blog has changed a bit in looks and content. I decided that the blog needed some additions that were relevant to what I tend to talk about. One thing led to another and a whole blog redesign was the most appropriate thing to do. I won't bore you with design stuff, but I will direct you to some new features.

The site introduction has been moved to the sidebar. This just looks more relevant and it gives the posts immediate attention. Polls will remain under this, in their usual spot.

About Me will remain under the poll, and my twitter updates will be under that.

I have decided to publish a list ever so often to let readers know games that are on my mind while not dedicating an entire post to it. This list should change every couple months, so check back occasionally for a new list.

I have attached several RSS feeds on the sidebar, specifically IGN, Kotaku, and GameInformer. These sites provide gaming news from professional sources. I may also use these for reference in a blog without having to link the entire thing. These RSS's enable me and the reader to get references from other sources.

I have attached a blog archive under all of this. If I need to refer to an older post I can now reference the archive, and more specifically give a date for that entry. This also allows the reader to look at older posts.

I have shortened the number of posts on page from 3 to 2. This makes the page shorter and more connected.

A search bar has been added at the bottom.

Reaction polls have been added to each post. Readers can now rate each post as "good", "bad", or "ugly". This is just an alternative if a reader doesn't want to comment personally.

Hope these things serve as a convenience. If there are any complaints or comments please note so.

  1. I don't see no Twitter updates....

    LOL. But I like the layout. It's more tech-y than before. I will now stop reading your gaming blog.
