So now we are adding pages - good!
Here's some other things I'd really like to do.
An 'articles' page with articles split in to different categories:
* game reviews
* genre reviews
* game development
This would need to be manually managed. The automatic way of managing it is just more trouble than it's worth (I did a lot of investigation into it).
Article summaries. This is possible, and not too difficult either. The advantage is it makes the tags much nicer to work with (you get a list of summaries rather than a giant list of full blog posts). It also is a subtle and non-intrusive way of improving page views. If people want to read the article in more detail, they'll click 'read more'.
Which comes to the slightly trickier, but possible final thought/request.
The front page should be 2 columns. Blog posts* / updates and articles. This can be done with blogger, using tags (i.e. tagging articles with 'article' and posts with 'post') and, combined with the summaries, would be a really great way to highlight** articles and make the content more accessible. The sidebar can be relegated (harsh word) to all other pages (i.e. just not appearing on the front page).
* with this format, we can be more comfortable posting 'game version X' short/simple updates as major articles will be front paged for a lot longer.
** I know we have a list of the last 5 articles in the sidebar. It's inadequate. I want content to target newcomers to the blog, not bullet lists which don't reach the eye that does not inquire into the sidebar.
If we do the above, Free Gamer will win awards.
Oh, and the games list. It's a WIP. I'll get it up soon.
