.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 You may or may not have heard that we're launching the Blogs subsection in the next few days! On Thursday (that's tomorrow), you'll be able to find the section in General, and on Friday, blogs will start appearing in the section as it goes properly live. This is all in GMT, by the way!What is the Blogs subsection? This is a chance for any of you that want to talk about something that interests you, as general or as specific as you would wish. The section also welcomes podcasts in a similar fashion.For a little while, the section will have topic moderation: this means that if you post a thread, it won't appear immediately. Don't worry, this isn't permanent! After the launch event, all blogs will be approved and you can post blogs at your own will. This is just to give some of the blogs (see the list below) some breathing space during the honeymoon period. If you already have blogs ready, go ahead and post them: they'll appear soon enough!Other things you may want to note is increased usage of the Calendar function. Various members may or may not be using the Calendar, depending on how scheduled their blogs are, or if they want to notify towards specific posts.If you have questions, please ask below or send me a PM! Otherwise, to celebrate the section's opening, several members will have blogs up and running from the start. Here's a list of some of the blogs you can expect up at launch!UnendingEmpire | UE's LairA Blog About A Whole Lotta StuffAdora | JourneyKate's Transition to the Real WorldKlavier | Piltover CustomsLeague of Legends pro scene, guides, theorycraftingGiga | Giga's AltersTCG Alters by GigaRodrigo | A Wanderer's LairRod talks about Commander and MtG!Tormented | Tormey's CyberspaceTormey Talks Code.ScheduleThursday: Blog Subsection opens.

Toffee. Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm going to assume this was the result of Misc section basically becoming something like this.....It's funny, because I was thinking about making some kind of journal-esque topic in Misc...

.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 In the land of tea and crumpets, it has struck midnight. Ergo, Thursday: tomorrow :CAnd, Dae, your blog shall be up soon enough. I don't want to oversaturate with launch blogs, so put your thread up as normal after the launch event.

~British Soul~ Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Still trying to think up a name for my blog, and will most likely have it up around the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Can I have a blog? It'd be a development blog for the TCG I'm making. I'd call it "Touring DevBlog" with the description "A development blog for the custom TCG 'Touring'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Blogs are for everyone! Just to make the section opening a bit more special, I'm letting a few blogs have the section all to themselves for a day or something! As soon as the section is up, feel free to post any blogs. If you post it on Thursday or Friday, it probably won't appear yet, so worth waiting till the weekend and everything shall be back to normal.

.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thats what I meant, I wanted to be special. If not, I guess I understand...Super sorry about that! I put up a notice up a while back, but I didn't make it very visible, I apologise!Launch blogs are mostly an advertising scheme, if everyone makes their blogs at launch, there won't be any new blogs after the first day. Get your blog ready, and it'll be up very soon, promise C: PM me if you have any queries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just what YCM needs. People with inflated egos.The implication, of course, is that we're not already like that! If you mean the idea of launch blogs, if it backfires that badly, I'll reconsider by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just what YCM needs. People with inflated egos.Hey, I'm not writing a blog.Disregarding this, I'm very happy Rai's promotion is following so many changes on YCM for the better. You're taking things by storm, you adorable rascal you.Can't wait to see the section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Just what YCM needs. People with inflated egos. Now I kinda want a blog so I can get my ego inflated, I'm told I need that. Um so like. If I decide to make a blog what do I do? Wait for when it becomes open to more people and just make it? Is there gonna be certain requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I've probably overcomplicated this by introducing the launch event. Essentially, post your blogs whenever, but they'll only start appearing (probably) Saturday. In that vein, I'd probably just post them on Saturday instead of faffing with mod approval. There will be a notice, don't worry! The rules of the section will have some helpful examples for how to lay out your blog and maintain it, but otherwise, go for whatever you want. The section's as simple as it sounds: post blogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutant Monster RAEG-HAPYP Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I know the blog can be multi-topic but can a single blog entry be multi-topic? I kinda want to try that out and see if it works for my blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want to try that out and see if it works for my blog.Yup, go for it! Feel free to dart around lots of topics. It is also possible to put two different topics as two different posts, and organise them like that. YOU HAVE SO MUCH CHOICE GUYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 How about a blog where the person rambles on about design choices for custom cards they make, and why they made changes, and why they did what did, and whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 How about a blog where the person rambles on about design choices for custom cards they make, and why they made changes, and why they did what did, and whatever? I already do that in CC. It's not really that hard to do when you post the card, if you care too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 How about a blog where the person rambles on about design choices for custom cards they make, and why they made changes, and why they did what did, and whatever?Go for it! I'm surprised no-one's actually gone for this. Definitely thought at least one person would. Of course, more than one person can tackle a topic with their blog! Edit: And, as Black mentions, this is also equally valid in CC. I'm thinking more of a Card of the Day-esque blog. With occasional big design posts.Definitely space for stuff like YGO TCG blogs, and art blogs, or god knows what else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I already do that in CC. It's not really that hard to do when you post the card, if you care too. I mean like also going into older cards you've posted, not just new ones as you're posting a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Is there a minimum word/page count for these? Also, can the blog be fiction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
