Trialling this too. It may mean I do no actual development work any more, but we'll see.

Thats a really great opening post but remember.. You dont need to do that everytime you update it, afew lines at the end of the week would be good enough.. just saying what's happening or if anythings changed (like ETA's and problems you've encounted, or working on something different).

People just like to know that the PA Team is doing something, they dont need detailed explanations on every post. :)

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

Why wasn't the main Planetarion portal used for it? Just seems a bit daft considering you really need some good reasons for people to visit the portal for news instead of going direct to the login page, now all the traffic will just go to some random blogspot site.

Anyway, it's nice to see it. Just a couple of paragraphs about something relevant at least once a week should be sufficient, it really doesn't have to take that long.

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

I would say its easy to use a dedicated blog page until the whole portal is sorted.

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

Even afterwards you could simply integrate that existing blogspot thing.

I'm still surprised no one has said tl;dr.
I kinda overdo things, but I was trying to baseline the current state. The others will be a lot shorter :)

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

It was good to read how things are shaping up :)

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

Nice going :)

So... why haven't you done this sooner? Hehehe :P

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

Nice :)

migrated to here, so you can follow future updates

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

Now we're missing an RSS feed, there isn't any way to comment directly on the posts either.

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

The portal does have rss (http://www.planetarion.com/feeds/announcements.xml)

You can comment here if nothing else :)

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

lol why arent you telling people about informative features like this (other than here)

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

i believe most browsers will give you the rss button thingy when you load it. Also, i don't think that actually covers the dev blog, so i'm going to need to make a new one.

Re: Planetarion Development Blog
 

Exactly, it doesn't include the development blog.

At least use the vBulletin RSS Feed poster and get the announcements category back in action, along with the forum being opened allowing people to reply to it (but no new threads). This way it might get a bit more attention/discussion for those who like to talk about the game regularly - the forum regulars.

Windows Live Mail doesnt see it as a valid RSS Feed, but opera does...
