Okay, I need help from you web savy people out there.

I simply want to redo TheVGM.com in a Blog like format, much like Destructoid, Filmdrunk, or WWTDD.com.

I have tried to download the free webblog files and upload them to my webspace as per the instructions, but it doesn't work. Something to due with the PHP files?

I'm a hardware guy, so web publishing and such is out of my league. In fact, it's a completely different sport.

Can anybody help?

I didn't know it was an actual site. Cool.

Who is your host? I had trouble setting up Wordpress on my site because of Godaddy. They do stuff weird.

I use 1&1.com .

I guess I could call them, and make it work. But for now, I belive I have found a compromise that I can live with. The only issues, I have now, is that Publisher doesn't let me make pages long enough. I had to cut one of my articles in half.

And, for anybody who cares:

THE NEW AND IMPROVED THEVGM.COM IS NOW ONLINE!

Also, expect to see a new article up by the end of the week.

Nice site, but on opera it doesn't show up right. It gives me a giant scroll bar and everything is all funky, but I just looked at it on IE.

Yeah, it also looks really messy in Firefox. Sad

Must be Microsoft @ work. Since, for the time being, I am using Microsoft Publisher to create the pages. And, even then, using IE they sometimes come out misaligned.

Go figure.

If I can figure out how to use something better, I will.

Perhaps Dreamweaver.

NVU is free and is like Dreamweaver, you could check that out. I can't figure out how to use those so I just use Notepad/Editpad.

Good job dude, I enjoyed it.

Cool list, I think I only counted five current gen. games in the top 50, is that a bad sign for game development, or just stiff competition?

Posted: Nov 18 2009 10:27 pm

so, did you get any help on your MAME design?
