Title: Do you have a blog?

Do you have (and update) an online blog that has (or could have) an RSS feed and relevance to this forum?

Answers on a postcard. Feel free to post the link also!

I do, its more or less what I post in this forum though with some extra detail which I wouldn't want to bore people here with..

Not sure whether it actually gets much traffic though, or that people really look at stuff, when you get comments like, "These are a great shade of red" <_<

Pacific, I found this site through yours. I may have changed to EC but it was your site that inspired me to do a PH force.

I have a blog too"Heresy Workshop"
http://heresy-legions.blogspot.com/
infact Pacific's is on my favs list.
I like to use this for alot of 40k stuff but all current work of mine goes through there.
And soon I am going to have a second blog "The Art of War" with all my tip,tricks and tutorials.

After looking at this thread and then the links of Pacific & Bigwill, I've been inspired to try to get one off the ground myself. (I hope you guys don't mind) :unsure:

Hopefully it will provide a source of painting motivation for myself, by putting it all out there.

Shameless self plug below.

Mind???
I'm your first follower ;)

Please do post your blogs.

I'm working on something with Shroud to combine everyone's RSS feeds from their blogs into a master blog portal for Pre-heresy projects. Essentially it will help consolidate everyone's posts and ease up on the number of forums you end up posting the same things on.

Killzone 2. It's Colonel Radec.

Thats an awesome idea mate! To be honest I only started it because its easier to access stuff from the central menu system that blogs have, and I'm trying to make something that acts as a resource for people wanting to do PH World Eaters.

Yvraith, I am now your 4th follower! :)

"It began as a slow trickle before becoming, a flood so great it swept all before its might!" - Quote from my future memoires. :D

Cool thanks for the support guys, not sure what direction its going to take with my current force a WIP combination of LW's & Ec's.

That is and awesome idea Whitehorn, you're getting my nomination for employee of the week. ;)

I might just have to jump onto this blogging bandwagon - having had a quick browse through everyone elses blogs I'm feeling quite inspired. :)

As soon as I have something worth showing I'll slap a link up.

Whitehorn - November 5, 2009 10:16 AM (GMT)
A real quick test example.

This has Yvraith and BigWill's blogs linked. It grabs the latest post from both of their blogs through RSS:

http://www.mywargame.com/dev/rss-2full.php

The immediate issue is the size of the blog. This is posting the whole lot.

A list of 4 blogs, linking to the latest post:

http://www.mywargame.com/dev/rss-minlinks.php

There's a fair bit of useful info pulled from each post including addresses, dates, author name, comments - which is all going to be useful or organising and identifying blogs:

http://www.mywargame.com/dev/rss-singledata.php

So, a list including authors, titles, blog names with links and dates:
http://www.mywargame.com/dev/rss-linksnames.php

More to come, particularly on appearance :rolleyes:

Itkovian - November 5, 2009 11:06 AM (GMT)
Heh, that last link is real eye-bender... Looking good though, keep it up! *Goes off to read Yvraith's post*

Itkovian - November 6, 2009 03:51 PM (GMT)
Just had a thought, If you can produce a banner-type thingymajig (technical term), with a link to the feed, we could stick those on our blogs to hopefully increase "circulation".

Anodyr - November 6, 2009 05:00 PM (GMT)
I've now got a blog! Not a great deal going on yet, but please feel free to take a peek!
