Hello my fellow gamers From Earth, how is everyone today ? Tengah tgk bola? Or working ? Or too busy playing games? Anyways, me and a few of my friends have started a Gaming Blog on PC, and would love your opinion about it. Is the content too little , or the words not attractive enough, etc. Would love some feedback thanks !

Oh my god guys, I didn't notice my fellow friend copying things from other websites. I thought he wrote it himself. Thanks for reminding me, seriously helped a lot.

About that, I also want to consult you guys - Should I delete it or leave it be?

We currently have a few categories, such as Reviews and the Weekend Spotlight. Would you like to see us categorize news in one place?

sometimes it's hard to write, so you might wanna have a video review instead. Probably for now you might need to buy the game and then review, but overtime I believe you'll get free games for review once you're well-known in the gaming industry. IGN does a lot of this stuff.

Hello bro. Good to know people still care about newstarters like me. You have a point there , however my English speaking isn't really up to scratch . I speak like most Malaysians here, using lah and all. Maybe I will consider trying to do video reviews that appeal to a Malaysian audience in the future. Thanks for the tip. But for now , it would be easier to write, video reviews require editing skills too.Also, what do you think about the blog? Any comments ?

nah, probably because the site still new, so there not much data. maybe once you got a huge load data this genre type would come in handy in future. since ppl like me only like to read certain genre and doesn't care other genres ever.

well actually i think broken english in video review might be more typical and accepted compared with writing. or probably that's just my opinion. but well, that's just my opinion and observation.

Ok comments on the blog:

- I'm much of a format critic, so I'd say that you might want to try to use justified formatting just to keep the paragraph aligned to each other.
- Try to use labels for your post if possible. It'd be easier for not only for people to look for certain materials in your blog, but also you can use it later if you ever want to create "related pages" API.
- Check for the image overlaps with your sidebar, I think for such cases you should be able to use thumbnail concept so that the displayed image is scaled down to match the blog frame width (I've left web programming for quite some time, the horizontal distance of a frame [left-to-right] is called width, right). Below is one good example

yeah, but don't just limit yourself to the type. ie, you can also use developers' name as labels, let say EA, or Valve, so basically when one just search for Valve labels, one can see all your post with regards to Valve, not only restricted to their games, but probably game engine development as well. The more label you have, the easier the related posts engine can look for related posts , I believe smile.gif

p/s: I was the one actually who commented on your very recent Bundlestars post tongue.gif
