I would appreciate any and all feedback, but I want constructive criticism if you don't like it, not flaming.

I'll whore my blog, if you whore yours.

Ah...wait...you did.

I'll check it out. Wink

I would break your first blog up into paragraphs to make it easier to read. Otherwise, just keep on writing about what you enjoy and have an opinion about.

Thanks for the feedback. That has been fixed.

This blog has potential Smile

My advice. Pictures. In posts and a better template. Maybe go so far as Satsui and Not Sure will do and post videos of you playing some old games. It'll add content and credibility to your site.

Add a Tag Cloud. Eliminate Archives and Blogroll. In place of Blogroll name a heading like "Links" and put some good old video sources there(like here Wink

). Get rid of "Just another wordpress.com site". Add a custom Header.

I'm not sure how to do this yet, but attach your Mailing List to Twitter as well as your posts to Twitter. Update at least once a week Smile

That's my rant for now. This would be a fun site for me to do, but I don't have the time yet to let me do it. Sad

Thank you. Yeah, I'm probably gonna do that when I figure everything out, because I'm kinda new to blogging. Also, I'm probably going to have to get Photoshop before I create a custom header, but I will eventually change it. And I'm going to apply for a job since I'm old enough now, and it will help out with paying for a domain name.

Not bad, read far worse blogs that's for sure.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'm glad I'm actually sticking with this blog, but it's not quite where I want it right now. Yeah, I actually created the blog on the 19th and didn't even get the first article done until the 26th, but otherwise, I'm happy with it.
