Anyone wants to help me review games on my new blog??

I know that this is a really big favor to ask but does anyone have time to help me on my new blog?? You can write reviews, previews or even the latest news in the gaming industry.
Gamers News Portal
This is my first ever blog btw

 

._. Seems interesting... Hm...

I don't play much games to be able to help though

 

You don't have to play much games to help I will greatly appreciate even just one review for that one game that you play

 

It doesn't have to be super in-depth. Read my reviews of R.U.S.E and Blacklight:Tango Down on the blog. They're pretty simple.

 

i will try dude.

 

Thanks if you're ready, just tell me and I 'll add you in as one of the authors for my blog.

 

I'm not exactly a writer or anything but I can give you opinions on some games You may be able to add that to some of your reviews if we play some similar games

 

Trust me, I'm not that good of a writer too..

 

well i need some time btw.
7-10days,i m busy for a week!

 

alright take all the time you need. I just realized i misspelled thanks

 

well since we r promoting websites please feel free to upload anime on my blog Narutoanime4u

its not finished yet though

 

not to be offending but could you create your own thread for that? I'd like to keep this thread for my own blog

 

and if anyone wants to just post the latest gaming news on my blog instead of writing reviews thats fine. Just tell me and I'll add you in as one of the author.

 

Is it PC only or can you do consoles?

 

consoles and pc both

 

would you be giving us copies of the games to review? If so, I would be your review-whor3 for life!

 

hahaha maybe if my blog reaches PR10 but for now, no. but I was actually considering that once my blog gets enough traffic to get decent amount of money. My blog still has a long way to go though

 

Good luck. Isn't a blog more of a personal site than a compilation of information like reviews, etc from multiple people? Seems it would be better to run an actual website instead of a blog.

Good luck. I've tried to run a few websites over the years and best I could pull was some product from vendors and maybe $50/mo in advertising.

 

welll.. Im not really a html genius so I needed the layout that blogger had. If anyone knows how to do that, I would greatly appreciate if you tell me.

 

If you guys want some nice stuff to review head over to MegaGames freeware section http://www.megagames.com/latest-entries/freeware/all. There are some nice free games out of the UK, Germany and even Australia that are full versions. Among them you can of course find Penumbra, Cube, Death Illustrated and other good games

I'll check out your site when I'm not feeling so much like procrastinating and decide from there if I want to actually take the time to review anything Don't hold your breath though, Ive been working on sanding the rust spots off my truk for almost a year now and so far I only have the unopened grinder with wire brush I got from harbor freight . . . . almost 6 months ago

 

take all the time you need wardozer and thanks for the link. Oh and guys, if you want to, you guys can also review Free 2 Play games on my blog. And you guys can also write previews of upcoming games.

 

Check out Joomla. It requires a little knowledge and work to get it going but once you have it figured out it's fairly simple to maintain and update.

 

I think I 'll stick with blogger for a while and Do I need my own web hosting account if I decide to use my own domain for blogger? if so, what are some good free hosting services that I can use for a website like this?

 

very

yes but something like limedomains.com can get you one with the joomla features for under $25 for 2 years.


as for reviews etc ..... well I can BADLY write some for old games and a few RTS should I ever have time ( I do have a wife and family so time is at a premium )

 

You can consider me a co-author and cross post my reviews if you like. Im trying to do more video reviews w/ commentary on youtube.

Going to do a Darksiders review here sometime soon.

 

how is joomla different than blogger. does it have the layout ready for you like blogger?
and crazy, my reviews arent tht good too and vicious. when im crossposting your reviews, u want me to put in your name or sumthing?

 

I think it would be easier to just have a "Feature Author Review." Reviews from other authors you want to feature on your site, with their name, their website and maybe 1-2 sentences explaining who the author is.

Joomla is a comprehensive content management system. I would use Joomla for more when you have a variety of content and applications running on your site. That's just me. For a game review site, I think WordPress is the better choice. It's easier for WordPress to setup to have a review, have guests do blog reviews, allow your readers to comment etc. Also some WordPress themes/frameworks are incredibly easy to use, learn and they have excellent SEO built right in.

 

Yeah, I'll figure it out before we post the first thing.

 

do you know how to move your website to wordpress from blogger??

 

.. nvm about wordpress im sticking to blogger.. $59.97 per year to upload videos?? thats outrageous
Btw guys, I just moved by blog to my own domain. www.gamersnewsportal.com since it takes little time for it to go all over the internet, you can still use www.gamersnewsportal.blogspot.com

 

If you give me all the data for your domain i can make you a very nice website in Joomla with tons more features then you have now. Ill do that for free and ill pitch in on some previews and some specials.

My idea is a site with a news page in blog style where we present or previews, news, and new reviews. those reviews are added in a game database (IMDB style) that i will create and they will contain videos, fotogalery, rating ect...
I have also the abbility to enable people to comment, rate and share the previews and reviews through various accounts like facebook for example or just as a site member. The design will be nice aswell and i am very comitted to doing this

 

I am also at home for a month because of a operation so im bored out of my mind.

 

I just sent you a pm

 

Hmm I like the layout of the site. I can do some PC game reviews on it, just PM me.

 

lol just fixed the forum being another blog instead of a forum

 

I just changed the website appearance guys. Please give me feedbacks about the new design. Do you like this one or the plain design that I had before

 

I'd be happy to help as well. I'm busy tomorrow, but Wednesday, I can figure out a game to review. I'm also on the same page as the3vilGenuis. I do website work as a job, so if you need any additionally help with widgets, layout, etc, let me know.

 

i sent you a pm xps

 

Your search doesn't work

 

thanks for notifying me, I ll look into that.

 

Alright just fixed the search function

 

Heya, just read this, and as a heavy gamer I would like to pitch in, I can do PC and PSP reviews and previews(if they come out on steam demos).

 

sent you an invite nikolai

 

I have older games like CRYSIS,FALLOUT, bunch of last years releases and just picked up FALLOUT: Vegas are older games O.K.?

 

Yes older games are fine. I just sent you a PM

 

Dude, you're going to need a better design. Plus, what's your revenue model for this site? There's tons of regular people already out there that have their own review sites...

 

yea but most of them are inactive. and you got any suggestions for the design? im focusing on the contents as of right now.

 

I highly recommend working on a layout that is scalable. Trust me, once you start getting reviews and articles, it'll quickly become a mess and nobody will want to visit unless it's organized and easy to find stuff. I've worked with websites for years (ok, ten years ago or so), and even helped launch a fairly successful one, but even then the revenue was minimal, as in barely enough to pay for the server and bandwidth. The amount of work required is not worth the payout in the end unless you dedicate dozens of hours a week on it (like 40-50 minimum). And have a flawless way to update news, reviews, and articles. Not to mention offer at least one unique aspect not found on other sites.

If your intent is to have fun, then I guess it doesn't matter much, but it's still worthwhile to invest time in organizing a decent layout. Learn a little HTML, CSS, PERL, and Javascript along the way and you will be able to make it look nice.

I wish you all the best, but I hate to see you start off on the wrong foot only to get frustrated. Trust me, spend time in planning and setting up the initial layout, and add content later. A couple months time doing that now will save tons of frustration and headache later.

Check out this simple site I did years ago to support gaming on the Eee. It looks simple, but I did it all by hand, and making the scrolling window and expandable rows took lots of time to have it work out just right in all browsers. I just wanted to see how much traffic it would drive and in the end, it was still more effort than it was worth.

 

^or just host the website off your home computer for the first couple of years and save yourself some cash

 

Eh, hosting is very cheap these days. $50/year for 10GB storage and unlimited bandwidth, which is more than adequate for a news and review site. You couldn't host from home for that, not to mention upstream data is quite limited.
