New Gaming Blog of Mine

TutorialWizard · 11-19-2007, 03:46 PM

I'm just looking for people to take a look at my blog and tell me what they think of it...

It's not exactly original being from blogspot, but I was wondering how I could add some color and it would still look professional.

Right now it is mainly black, white, and gray because I couldn't figure out a good color combination for it.

Other than that just give me any tips you have or think that I should do...

Thanks in advance...

Interesting blog. There isn't a whole lot I can say about the theme, for it is for the most part rather minimalistic, but the content is certainly very good. You have impressive screenshots and great reviews. You should perhaps look for some dark Blogger themes or anything that looks appropriate for a game-discussion context. Right now the simplistic theme looks almost broken to the casual web surfer.

Even though it's a blogger blog, there's loads you'll be able to do with your blog. I recommend signing up to communities like MyBlogLog or niche gaming forums in order to advertise your blog; that should provide some good targeted traffic.

Good luck with your blog; remember that content is directly proportional to traffic.

I can tell you 'write' now (hahahahahaha) that getting your own domain/hosting and switching to Wordpress will be the best blog-related move you ever make. Blogger blogs are so limited, and they don't look half as good as almost any free Wordpress theme. I'm not talking whatever.wordpress.com- get a gaming domain, sign up at any hosting company, and watch your blog take off faster than it ever will here. There's nothing worse than making a decent deal of cash from a blogger blog and then switching to Wordpress - basically it's starting all over again. However, I don't regret it because it's so good. So switch now, before it's too late.
