GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Jan 1, 2009

Happy new year all. It's been 2009 for over 25 hours now here and I want to move on with my blogging. My reasons are stated in my new entry at my new blog provided by Blogger. I briefly got into blogging back in 2005 on GameSpot and soon picked up the pace in 2006. Back in 2006 and 2007, I used to blog frequently and enjoy reading responses.

Posting about E3, about emblems, about situations and my video games rants - it was a great deal of fun to me. Now, in 2009, I just don't feel that. Ever since the site re-design, things don't seem the same when blogging. I don't have my RSS feeds for each user and I can't rely on it now.

Once upon a time, I used to put out a few video blogs. I haven't done a video blog for nearly two years now. If you scroll down on this page, you'll find some back from early 2007. I am annoyed about having to log in every ten minutes for some reason too. It still is doing this to me after clearing my cache. New year's glitches?

Anyway, yes I will make an occasional blog on GameSpot but my primary blog is at Blogger now. Feel free to follow it and comment when new entries are made. All you need is a Google account or OpenID to comment. As mentioned on my first entry, I probably am not going to get many comments but the tools are there for you to track and comment, if you like. The RSS feeds actually work too.

If you have an external blog, feel free to link it in your comment and I'll be happy to track.

I don't even know what an RSS Feed is.

Ah, I'm over at Blogger as well. GameSpot is my "gaming" blog, everything else tends to go to qualvista.blogspot.com. I'm now following you.

I use http://doctorfishypants.com as my main blog now when I get the time. I'll add your site to my blogroll next time I post.
