Blog post

Hey guys. My www.makeitbigingames.com blog has been fixed. I upgraded to the new 2.3.1 Wordpress from the old 2.0 version and it broke a few things. Turns out it was kind of an obscure fix to a bug caused by being hosted on Yahoo. I'm probably going to change my host to Media Temple soon.

As many of you know, Josh Dallman has been helping me with some really nice guest posts. His latest, Communify Me! 80 Ways to Add Community Features to Games is a great article that was posted the day I broke the blog. As a result, not many people read it, and it has no comments. I feel responsible for Josh's work not getting properly recognized.

Feel free to hop over and give Josh's article some love. You won't regret the read.

Keep an eye on the MBG blog. Josh and I are ramping up on a bunch of new articles and some other cool features for helping people learn about the business and design side of making games.

Another small glitch... at the moment comments can't be given unless you are logged in.

I really enjoy reading your blog, both Josh's posts and yours. :)

Jeff do you plan on restoring your previous blog post about developing and growing companies that you had on makeitbigingames.com before you did the wordpress upgrade? I thought it was a very good post and was going to comment on it (but the comment system was broken at the time). It would be a shame for that post to go the way of the dodo.

@L Foster: It is still there, in the archives. :)

Two times actually..

I had to turn on the "must be logged in to comment" feature due to the absolutely huge amount of spam that comes into the site with open comments. My plan is to switch over to OpenID, which I think will become a Web standard soon.

Great blog, high signal to noise ratio. I like that you (or Josh) don't post every day, or week, just to put something up. And you don't post random halfbaked thoughts. Good quality, readable stuff, worth my time. Keep it going!

Jeff, have you tried an akismet plugin to cut down on spam?

Also: Thanks for fixing it! I was very sad that it was broken.
