hold off on posting anything please (:

Ivo Flipse

You're switching domains?

Rebecca Chernoff

same domain, SE server.

Ivo Flipse

I reckon that doesn't really change anything visibly?

We're basically going to have 2 blog networks running on our servers. 1 for blessed blogs with their blessed urls, blog.gaming.stackexchange.com. And then a "beta" blog network which is where the blogs would start out and build, and those will use blogoverflow.com urls.

I published @Macha's first game diary

Macha

17:57

@IvoFlipse Are you sure? Doesn't seem visible.

Ivo Flipse

I think I messed something up, changed the status to published, which gave it the wrong date :\

Macha

I'll fix it when on my desktop.

Wordpress app can't chanfe dates and the web interface doesnt play nice with phone resolutions.

It should work now

tzenes

@Ivo its pending

shouldn't come out for another hour

Ivo Flipse

yeah the time wasn't my local time, that explained it

I changed it now

tzenes

18:09

what time are we targeting? 8am CET?

Ivo Flipse

well I published it now, didn't I?

tzenes

I meant in general

Ivo Flipse

ah, well if it's just one post a day, I personally don't mind when it's posted

it's going to be too late for some, too early for others

tzenes

well 8am CET is about midnight PST

that way Euro's get it first thing in the morning and while us Americans are sleeping

seems like a decent compromise given our largely EU/NA base

Ivo Flipse

ah right

sure that sounds good to me

I need some help from our SC2 experts to bloggify some answers

tzenes

18:13

sure

Ivo Flipse

and my post about kiting needs content, but I couldn't find it :(

tzenes

I bet there are some good vids on youtube about kiting in WoW

Ivo Flipse

and some other users need some more encouragement... I almost have to drag blog posts out of them :(

I tried to find some great ones, but epically failed :(

tzenes

yeah, trust me I've been there

Ivo Flipse

I wanted to show a warlock, kiting a whole bunch of mobs as affliction, but they all sucked

also couldn't find good arena videos, though I know they exist

The post about sleeping needs some help on the first few tips

I know, but its strange on Super User we're starting to get sufficient posts to post 2/day

Oh yeah, I was going to work on my article. Need to search through my server's demos for good screenshots for it.

Ivo Flipse

That's a decent video

who would be the best to write the blog post about the console buttons?

We should get Shaun to write about emulating PS2, has anyone seen @shaun on chat?

Macha

In that Google Docs document, the "games needing diaries" section appears to have turned into a "games to review" section.

Ivo Flipse

ah well, there's artistic freedom to do either @Macha ;)

Macha

btw, about the question about how often the game diaries should be posted yesterday

I don't think we should do one a day, or they will drown out the other posts.

But once a week will lead to extremely slow diaries.

So what I think is 2 or 3 times a week, alongside different posts too. (i.e. as a second post on Tuesday and Thursday, or Mon/Wed/Fri - or both if we have two diaries running at once - alongside other posts like reviews, strategies etc.)

Ivo Flipse

yeah that's a sound plan

Macha

19:08

Anyone want to look over my Game Dev Story post? (And if anyone has some screenshots it would be nice, I haven't rooted my Android phone so can't take any)

Ivo Flipse

Would there be any other questions you think you could mix in, in a natural way? (not required, but just a nice plug :P)

Macha

I'll have a look.

Ivo Flipse

with some images I think it's enough

Macha

Ok, added some question links

Still no images though, sadly.

Ivo Flipse

let's hope someone else can help add pictures
