Blogging Tips: Comments

Posted on January 10, 2011 08:57 am by Thor

Blogging Tips: CommentsWe’ll change gears from blogging tips on how to increase your blog traffic to tips regarding comments on your blog. Comments let us bloggers know that people are reading our stuff and they care enough to reply. Comments are probably the most sustaining feature of a good blog. Getting a lot of comments on an article is the difference between something that’s forgotten in a day to something that lives on weeks after it was posted. You want people to comment on your articles, to discuss it, so you need a way for them to do that.  Read more... (655 words, 1 image, estimated 2:37 mins reading time)

Rok Da Vote: Wot’s Dis?

Posted on December 31, 2010 08:00 pm by Thor

In an attempt to get more voters I have moved the polls to the top right of the site. It was previously buried and hard to spot. I had been running some random polls, some for about eight months, and those are now all closed and here are those results:  Read more... (381 words, 6 images, estimated 1:31 mins reading time)

Blogging Tips: Improving Your Traffic (Part 1)

Posted on December 28, 2010 09:42 am by Thor

Blogging - TrafficI’ve only been really blogging for about 10 months, however my full time job is as a PHP programmer for a web hosting company. I may still be learning about blogging but I have good knowledge regarding the technical side of things. So, I thought I’d start a helpful little series to help bloggers get the most out of their blog. I’m not going to bog this down in technical jargon. My aim is to keep it simple and clear.  Read more... (565 words, 1 image, estimated 2:16 mins reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: My Nose is Tuffed Up

Posted on December 24, 2010 08:18 am by Thor

Small wrap-up today. Wednesday I got in a really fun team game. Next month we’ll be doing a team tournament so I’ll be working through some lists leading up to it. I’ll most likely be playing my Orks, though I may stray to the Necrons. The first time I ran my Necrons in a team tournament we did really well and it was a blast. I was partnered with a Tau player I know and we went 2-1 for the day, losing out to Kamui and a Space Wolf player in the final game. Too many angry things trying to chop us up did us in.  Read more... (202 words, 1 image, estimated 48 secs reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: Another Slow Week

Posted on November 14, 2010 08:47 am by Thor

Played Ming on Wednesday in a dawn of war annihilation game. He had his Ultramarines and I brought Fate’s Angels, my Marines. The game was a pretty slow game that was mostly uneventful. The board was dominated by large hills that vehicles couldn’t go over, so there were really only three lanes to move forward through. Being that I brought along six vehicles, I didn’t have a ton of choices and in the end Ming took the win by one kill point.  Read more... (226 words, 1 image, estimated 54 secs reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: Beer!

Posted on November 8, 2010 10:39 am by Thor

I’d love to say I got a lot accomplished last week and this weekend but that’s just not true. You see, Saturday was the Maine Brew Fest in Portland and like any craft beer lover I attended. I went along with Kamui and seven others to drown ourselves in some great local brews. If anyone is in the area I highly recommend Sebago Brewing Company’s bourbon barrel cask aged barley wine. It hurts so good.  Read more... (219 words, 1 image, estimated 53 secs reading time)
