The Future Of TDP Blogs Is Bright

[kompressaur]

Right i supose we should talk about these as theyre here to stay and they will live alongside the forums quite nicely and unobtrusive too. I might as well be honest and say that i wont be settling for any less than
Scythe betting blog - "Money factory by Scythe" @ BLOGABET.COM

To me that betting record thingy works a dream and you cant beat it. Theyve a way of selecting the odds via some odd company or bookmaker and i think that has to be the way to go. Need to have something like Oddschecker where folks can select their prices from. A nice user interface with all the diff sports having as many stats about a betting record that you could have. all advice there appreciated. Ok this bit might be sad but i do want to let everyone have full blog customisation. A way for you all to customise it to your hearts content. Maybe thats something for the myspace crowd but every little helps. we all aint a mr grey 3 coloumn man

lol sad really. ive been making jokes on webbuilding forums the past couple of weeks. The loved me. You ever hear the story about me getting offered a moderator job on an aussie football forum? nah i just made that up but it could have happened.

aye so they have the betting calculator of blogabet, they are 50x more customisable than blogabet and i havent looked but is TDP a busier forum than blogabet when TDP is going ok? There are those that just think 'blogging schmogging' and fair play to you if it's not for you then thats fine. No oe is asking you to blog although i did appreciate a few of the half hearted attempts before. To me it's all about 'online storage' they aint the bees knees or anything but in time i'm pretty sure we will be glad we have them and took this step forward in building a gambling based community and you'll all be glad to be part of it.

Right who wants a fight?

actually i just noticed that they have a 'friends' thing. Maybe we could look at that with blogs linking to each other in a kind of 'blogroll' thing. actually thats what it's called. Your 'blogroll' Im away to add my friends to it If i dont see a link back i will know how you feel. It's my yellow riband.

Right enough of that weepy nonsense. Time to crack on with this. 'but komp why are you doing this and not posting shit on the forums?' i hear you all ask and youve part answered the question yourself. I need to keep myself busy and this suits the bill. ll get it like a shiny pin. Well not quite but anyhow. Ok so lets start at the bottom. Yes we have fancy templates for you all that with a few picture changes would suit anyones need. I dont want that i want to mae one for myself from the off. Lets give that a try and see how easy it all is for everyone keeping it as simple as we can. ok foirst stop would be here-

I soon became tired of wanting to amke a blog from the generator but thought i would add my test 'black pic' (must add Blackula) and first impressons is that it looks quite good. the easy 2 click interface of that theme genrator has gave me this download link so i'll post it here and demand i go and add it to my blog.

a few years ago i had what would now be a blog, i mustve updated it 8 times in the year but it was a cracking read when looking back on it. some rants about girls, work etc mixed with real angsty depression and sleep deprivation.

every message on there had me at some massive low apart from the shortest entry i made, which was after winning my biggest bet ever back in the days when i only posted in the pl worldwide section, good times like.

couldnt do it again though, i spend minimum 5 or 6 hours a day online and somehow dont manage to fit in important things like emailing my family, customers on ebay or helping run the cto website.

i spend all my time on absolute shite, i will read every single story on the bbc website, everyday, takes me an hour and 3 fags at least to get through!

I dont have the time to start mine at the mo spacecat but i will in time. I think that some folks on TDP post decent stuff week in week out and i'm only trying to encourage them to save it all for themselves and maybe find how easy, customisable and fun TDP blogs are. They aint doing any harm with their existance and they have a lot of potential in time imo. I just think some folks are tired of the forum formula. Let folks have their own little bit of the net, add a few banners, make a bit of money. the skys really the limit for anyone. I was just reading this on a Wordpress forum-

I have WPMU installed and running on my server, I'll be using it for a comercial blog network in spanish which is very popular. One of the blogs have a lot of visits (155,000+ a day) so wp-cache is a must.

thats just one persons blog. If anyone on TDP wants to go for something like that then i'll give them a run for their money in time

[AnothrSpacecat]

id have to agree with that mate, anybody who puts a little bit of time and effort into it wont regret it in the future.

in terms of using it for the punting, it could be a useful tool for people holding their discipline, thats assuming honesty in the first place! perhaps the shame of losing and lying about it will force people into gambling better?

no bad can come from any of it. !

Mine is usually just full of pornography anyhow Spacecat



I feel better that tyhe place is finally falling into shape after 3 years of trying. The forum has always been a hinderance to me as im stuck in there when i want to be out here finishing things up. It should all fall into place Spacecat. you could do a cottish media blog spacecat. easier than setting up a site for now. I might look into it sometime soon. You got any ideas for some sounds and vision on the frontpage Spacecat?

I cant get the cache to get rid of the originally file but i will./ I was wanting to put something a bit lock stock and 2 smoking barrels on there. Some driving music and some big pots, on the head finishes and 90th minute winners

[AnothrSpacecat]

a scottish media blog.. sounds like something id subscribe to but wouldnt be bothered to run. i bet the likes of partick are right up their own arse about who is and isnt allowed to show their videos

i used opera browser sometimes and i have to say i like the simple 'home' page (ive actually got this site down at number 7 of my 9 pages though i visit it more than some of the others) idea and would probably set up a version of that for myself with links to each clubs highlights.

the last thing i need to get into is a branson/murdoch medja war

Ive finally sussed out how to change the swf file Spacecat so im gonna have a play about for a couple of hours. feel free to mention anythign you think. I think that you could have your blog set up like that Spacecat. grab Swish from errrrer here spacecat
OldVersion.com

Its pretty easy. feel free to ask anything if your keen Spacecat. right im away to relax with this for a bit and then get busy. Maybe i should just go for the simple look. Reason i took the bottons off the flash file and put them to the right as html as on IE you needed to click them twice to get into the forum

[kompressaur]

right so someone hits tdp frontpage. They need to see something that gets their attention. actually i'll just go for something. nah i need to think a bit about this. it needs to be something generic we can leave up whilst we work on it. maybe have a few 'spots' that can be changed. I suppose the first thing to say is hello and welcome and explain what we do.

[AnothrSpacecat]
