Just a Quick Reminder

November 27, 2007

Hey Guys, I just checked Feedburner just then and it looks as though a few subscribers haven’t noticed that this feed is no longer about video games. So if you are interested in keeping up with all of that stuff then be sure to check out http://danielprimed.com or you can subscribe to the feed by either email or RSS.

I also wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be posting up some Chinese work later on.

Personal PrimeScape has Returned

November 22, 2007

If you are reading this then it should confirm that PrimeScape Personal has made a comeback.

I decided to split my blog (PrimeScape) up into two smaller blogs (PrimeScape and DP’s Gaming Blog) in order to make each one more clearly defined and not so muddled. So what you are reading now is my personal blog at http://primescape.danielprimed.com

Now because of how I have the RSS feeds set up I’ve had to redirect all previous RSS subscribers to this site’s feed. Now I do realize that a lot of you guys only want to read about video gaming, which is totally cool. So if this is the case(and you’re an RSS subscriber) then just click on the image below and you’ll be subscribed to game only content.

Now if you are an email subscriber then click here.

Thanks for your co-operation, I seriously appreciate it. Unfortunately I was locked into this decision. Which is so frustrating. If you recieved 20 or so new feeds from various past dates then know that they’d be the last 20 or so posts on this site. Once again, despite my efforts this so unpreventable.

Why 2 Blogs and Not Just One?

If you are a long time reader then you’d know that back around June I was having some identity woes with the blog. I’d been writing about myself for about 2 years and decided that I wanted to change my perspective and write about my life long hobby; video games. After sometime tossing up between the two, I decided to write just about games. Which meant that I had a video game blog with 2 years of posts about myself. Furthermore my personal blog was full of design tutorials from a previous site I worked for.

I should also mention that in the last few months I discovered that I really wanted to write about myself again but in doing so I didn’t want to alienate the video game based audience that I had then formed.

So here we are, almost half a year later I have finally sorted this out. Originally I wanted to solve this whole problem by having 3 blogs (one more which is the now defunct: Success in the Digital Life) but this was too much to manage.

So What Can We Expect From This Blog?

The thing is I really have been itching to do some more personal writing. Back when I started focusing solely on video games my personal life became a lot better (all in the space of a week too). Since then I’ve been so chuffed, although I said the same thing, this time last year. I feel dead on track and I feel happier than I ever have before.

So, what I’ll be doing is filling in the blanks for the last few months as well as continuing the trend at my own pace. I don’t think that I’ll post as much as previously did with the personal posts nor will they be such account of what I’ve been doing.

I also plan on bringing all of the Success in the Digital Life posts over here in due time. So I’ll have my personal posts, old tutorials and SDL stuff. Along with this I plan on writing up some posts in Chinese, I’ll probably just have a category for this. I’ll be using this as a hub for my Chinese friends to check out my work and provide some critique.

Conclusion

Alright, everything is back on track. I am so relieved. I’ll be spending some time to fix a few problems, rewrite some pages, tagging etc. If there are any major changes I’ll let you guys know. If you do spot any site issues or have any concerns then let me know via the comment box or contact form.

Thanks heaps for your continued interest.

PS Revised Edition::Modifications

July 27, 2007

Okay guys, all of the site modifications are completed. There will be a bit of tweaking over the next few days as I set up the regular features and tags. I think that the site looks excellent, I’m very proud to have ironed out some of the design flaws. If you are a subscriber then I strongly recommend checking out the site to marvel at the changes.

The modification list is as follows:

-reworking of the header: new photo, Dr Yang and ‘Revised Edition’ added. Text also changed to ‘The Gaming Blog of Daniel Johnson’
-All segments on the side panel are broken up with bolded text and a different backdrop
-Archives has now moved to its own page
-Categories have been split up into 3 main groups; General, Gaming and Regular Features
-Search is now in the left hand side
-Content Spotlight images and segment added in navigation
-flickr feed and Tag Cloud added to navigation
-Subscribe relocated to top of navigation
-Technorati button added to header
-More bookmarking options added to each post
-Related entries added to every post, in post view page
-Comments are now clearly sorted and include Bloglog avatars
-Blog CMS has been upgraded to Wordpress 2.2
-no more outline problem with PNG images viewed in IE and FF
-a few admin plugins and Wordpress fixes

Over the next few days I shall add:

-rewrite the About page
-a new page featuring links to my favourite posts
-tags to each post, hence getting the tag cloud working

These changes have been made to ensure that it is easier to access the site’s content and browse the site. I used the bolded text to separate the eyesore that was the mass of text in the navigation.

Ok, so now that that is all done. Thanks for bearing with me through these changes. If you are experiencing any difficulties with the new changes then please email me via the contact form to let me know. It should be noted that a flash player is required for the flickr slideshow. With that it’s time for me to get back to the regular content.

Bit of a Heads Up

July 24, 2007

Hey guys, just giving a bit of a heads up for somethings that are going on with the site that you might have noticed. I feel that its important that you guys know what’s going on with the site. Although I’m not sure if you want to hear me rattle on about the site or if you just want straight gaming content. Please, let me know.

What I wanted to say is that PrimeScape is currently switching servers, which means that some strange things have been going on with the site. You may have noticed images not loading, that is now fixed. The only problem left(no big deal) is some non alphabetic characters don’t show correctly. This is a problem with the new Wordpress.

This problem will be fixed with the new facelift to the site. The same great Scrap Book design is staying for the long haul but with some edits. This development is ready to launch any time, I just need to start posting my new features to get it kicked off. So expect this change to occur in the next few days.

As for the new Web Success blog, that is also ready to go. We’ve just been having a few issues with the domain, that’s all. I’ll let you know when these things are all done. I’m looking forward to show off some new content to you guys. Well that’s enough from me. Watch this space!

Also my blogging mate from The Fun Bucket is in the process of reviewing his site like I was a month back. So give him a look and help him out
