Need Some Content Feedback

March 25th, 2008

super mario bros 3 mario shell Lately I have been pondering over the direction in which I would like to take this blog in the future and about how I can further advance my writing while staying open and accessible to casual readers. You can read some of these thoughts here. To aid my thinking I have decided to do a bit of market research and find out what sort of content you, my audience prefer.

I have created a new site poll which you can find on the right hand menu which asks the question.

What Sort of Content Would You Prefer to See on the Site?

I have selected fou of the most popular posting categories in the video game blogging niche, that is:

Video Game Design – analysis of video game design techniques
Industry Coverage – information and observations on the happens within the gaming industry
Video Game Critique – impressions and reviews of video games
Software Discussion – history lessons, observations and general discussion on software

I haven’t actually posted very much on video game design yet, it is an itch that I am currently scratching and you’ll see the result of that soon.

So help me out and let me know what you most enjoy reading on the site. I am also very happy to hear any general critique be it good or bad.

A Few Fixes

February 6th, 2008

Hey guys, I’ve made a few quick site fixes in the past few days that I want to quickly point out. If you want you can try and seek them out yourself otherwise here is the list below:

darkened the background text
black line has been included on the bottom and right hand sides of the navigation menu
reworked site name
modified mini header
submit email subscription box quirk should be fixed
revived a few dead links
new tagline

I’m sure a lot of you will e pleased about the darkened font colour. If its still not dark eough for the brighter monitors thenlet me know.

I decided to change the name of the blog as ‘the gaming blog of Daniel Primed’ sounds pretty anal actually. Where as Daniel Primed’s Gamer Blog has more punch to it and the gamer part also stresses that I write for you guys; the gamers.

I’m not sure about my current tagline: “Video Gaming Awesomeness”. Its cool but will probably be changed once I can think of something that sounds better. I’d like to include a Monkey Island quote but I don’t think that everyone would get it. So I’m looking for suggestions, if you have any then leave me a comment and I’ll use my favourite one.

Hey guys, I’ve made a few fixes and tweaks to the website for your viewing pleasure, so heres the list of changes:

the Archive page now works
new ICO file in title (the coin box)
About page text and image has been updated and improved
email feed now has its own input box
the ‘Poll Archive’ link has been removed
‘Drop us a line’ link now directs to Contact page
‘Link Me’ has been added next to Share This
The ‘Link Out’ box now links correctly
Contact form style has been included

I still need to get the tags working as they don’t link correctly. But beyond that the site is now much more polished. If you do notice any broken links or site faults then please leave a comment.
