My Blog

#1 That's great that it improved your productivity.

Does that site allow you to put pictures in with your entries?

#2 Cool blog... I set one up a few weeks ago, just need to post on it :p

#3 Blogging/RSS feed driven stuff is totally changing the web, and the way I do everything. Seriously.

My Blog
Note that the views expressed on my blog are not necesasarly those of GarageGames.com, or it's affiliates or anything like that. (Read that as: Politics are addressed along with game-opinions) I try to mirror the Torque Dev stuff into my .plans, but it gets more frequent updates. Anyway, disclaimer asside, it's a personal blog, and it isn't designed to be anything else (until Blogger adds catagories >:)

#4 If you post your .plan here on GG, you'll get about 30,000 or so people reading it in a day. If you post it only on your blog out in Blogger Siberia, you'll get about 3 people reading it. Also, don't just post a link in your .plan. I won't follow it, and I doubt anybody else will either. .plans (the old word for blogs) are the first thing that I read and one of the real reasons we have a game development community here at GG. If everybody fragments off to their own blog, I think we will really lose something here.

There are very coool tools for making blogs, but at least put a copy of your post here too.

#5 @Will: Yes, blogger allows you to upload pictures to be shown with the posts.

@Jeff: Thanks for the tip. I personally have a few favorite people that I read the .plans of, but I try to spend my limited game development time actually making games. I'd love to read more .plans, but I just can't. Now, some may argue that writing in my blog is taking away some of that time, but giving others the knowledge that I am making a game prods me along to get it done. That way, when people ask, "How is that game coming along?", I can say, go to GG and buy it! :)

#6 There's a good answer to that, John.

A little stealth-change that Rick made to .plans....they're RSS feeds now ;)

#7 Stealth changes are fun :)

I'm interested to see where GG is taking this (I presume they have some nifty ideas). It would be cool if your profile ended up sort of like a (dev) blogging homepage. And the ratings on peoples .plans could end up with some sort of ranking system, where people can see who makes the most interesting .plans.

#8 I had previously used LiveJournal but I'm really starting to like this whole Blogging thing more so,

http://hagdev.blogspot.com/ be amazed at nothing interesting at all!
