GameDevOnline.net

It's been just over a year since this website first opened so this unnofficially makes it the first anniversary of GameDevOnline, WoooooHoooo! Everyone these days in gaming are blogging about their games, and game development in general. They are publishing PDF's, and printing their own game variants, and what not. It is truly a golden rennaissance for RPG gaming everywhere, very much akin to the early days of gaming except it is all happening now online. Pretty much like I had envisioned it happening almost a decade ago! A few of us did this in the days of high adventure before Wordpress existed, when easy to use content management systems were not just a download away, and every web page was a hand-crafted statement of HTML art

Being ahead of the curve, please allow me to provide you younger bloggers with a few tips.

One, It's just a gaming blog.

If you plan on being around awhile, don't feel compelled to post every day... or even every week. This is almost a sure-fire recipe for blogging burnout. I'm speaking from experience here. Instead, focus on posting when you want to share and exchange gaming ideas, if you have a new idea you want to explore, or if something exciting is happening in your gaming world! You'll feel much better doing this in the long run, and your blog will last much longer.

Two, Yes you can earn some coin from it.

Just remember to setup your Apache or IIS server to serve up encrypted pages when you are exchanging information provided by a website visitor. It also helps tremendously to use some sort of capcha tool or authentication to verify visitor posts and comments.

Three, Build it and they will come!

No new content has been added to my original website in almost seven years. As a matter of fact, all the high resolution images were removed. The old website still gets almost a thousand unique visitors (not robots)a month!

Tour the ruins of the old gaming website...

Tamerthya featured many of the features of a modern website/blog including fantastic art, downloads, gaming convention coverage, and more. Much of which is still available to review if you know where to start looking.
