Blogger volunteers and schedule

P.S. I guess speaking on Fletch's behalf. I don't think he'll have much time to contribute as hes getting married and all that silly stuff.

All I'm saying is you better not steal my thunder with all your beautiful models and what not...

I will try to post some. But yeah getting married and stuff.

I'm on kind of a painting hiatus right now. I've done nothing for myself after completing my dark elves. I do this every time I finish an army. I'm painting only commissions right now, which are generally painted to a lower standard than my personal armies. I'll take your comment as a complement though. And Final Fantasy Tactics for the play station one is the best game of all time.

I know your just playing all dancers in it.

Post whenever you guys feel like it. More authors will increase our success I think.

And congrats fletch!

I'm totally messing with you. I'd rather see what you've painted any day of the week haha. Also, I agree about Final Fantasy Tactics. I feel I've been searching my entire life looking to fill the void that was left after beating it.

And bdix - what the he'll is that avatar. Deeply disturbing. It's like a mik Jagger pear or something!

lol wut are you talking about??

Now I want to dust of FF:T again. There goes my Abyssal Dwarf army...must...beat Bulletstorm first...

I basically did just that I lost my old save with my memory card and I went back and have played FFT all the way through in like a week I forgot how much I loved that game! I'm about a lvl 94 and have all the stupid gear and beat all the deep dungeon... I suppose I should stop playing games and paint some more...

Great job with all the posts. If you guys will use draft.blogger.com there is a 'post options' button bottom left.

It's nice for a couple of reasons. You can do your post whenever and schedule them for a day and time. If you look I have mine qued for monday so I don't forget. Which brings me to my second point

The best time for your post to go live is about 10:30 am. East coast that's 930. People just getting to work. West coast is the start of lunch break. Earlier posts don't maximize traffic since they fall to the bottom of blog rolls quickly.

Awesome posts, all. Just thought I might share www.warvault.net with you all. It does an okay job of tracking traffic and such on the days of your posts. Just click webring and thn look under our statistics. Google analytics always reports more hits and is more accurate but war vault is a nice painless way to track the blog.

Seeing the unique pageviews makes me feel better about the low comments

Indeed. I find when I expect comments when I think something is good, I get none. I get comments usually when I rub someone the wrong way.

Followers should also encourage you. Compare # of followers to some of the other big blogs such as 3++

Wow, I didn't realize we got so much attention... I'm sure posting on fridays helps score me some cheap comments!

We moved up to the #3 position on warvault this week due to increased traffic.

A bit of info for those of you posting. When you go to draft.blogger.com, if you look at the top you will see stats tab. You can click that and you are able to see how many people have read your specific article for the hour, day, week, month or last year.

A second important bit - we have a lot of folks posting now, which is great! Lets try to stick with our weekly schedule, but check to see when other posts that day will be posting. Try to put a four hour gap between any two posts, if we can. Back to back posts within minutes detracts from both posts.

You can, again, go to draft.blogger.com and click on edit posts to see when everything is scheduled to post.

When you compose your post in draft.blogger.com, if you click post options at the bottom left, it will let you specify a later date and time for your blog post to go live.

Anyway just some info for you all - hopefully some of it moderately helpful.

I'm not sure if we can see the stat tab or not. Like my personal blog has a stat tab, but the hogs one doesnt.

The blog is looking great!

Another upgrade.

Each of you writers should get a message in your email from gravatar. It will set up an avatar for you on our site for comment purposes.

I'm still getting used to the new posting thing. If anything is wrong feel free to use the mod super power and edit my contributions. Also I can't see what times people are scheduled for. I couldn't see when they were scheduled on the other blog either. So I can your date but not what time your post is going off on. So I guess if I step on any ones toes its not intentional.

To check scheduling do the following:

Log in to the front page.

Click the upper lefthand menu that shows your name, and choose dashboard.

Click the posts tab. Choose posts again.

That shows the schedule.

I never got an email

Hullo,

I wouldnt mind making the occasional amateuristic post if you'll have me >.>

Sure, Draxius! If you will pm me an email I can set you up as a contributor.

Did someone push my article, which was only about 1/2 way done? lol I went to the front page and saw it and was like OH CRAP. It did make me go finish it real quick.

Are you doing Warmachine articles, or Hordes, both?

@Haren

That was me. Had some back end problems I was working on and probably pushed it out early on accident. Sorry bout that.

NP's big_D. Just caught me by surprise.

@verminlord

I havent been mostly because I haven't been playing much as of late, what with money being tight from traveling so much this year, and preping for warhammer events. This thursday probably will be the first game with my menoth army in a couple of months. Since I am running them @ WGC I need the refresher lol. After WGC I may try and start posting more about WM/H, but I can't commit to anything atm.

I am going to start posting again on Friday mornings. The blog is starting to look dead.
