racket's NEW Classic Gaming Blog

OK, I've gotten into the whole blogging thing now.

I love to use Bloglines... to keep track of updates to my favorite news sites and other blogs. It's a nice way to keep on top of stuff and have some unique things to read during the day. And with a RSS/Atom reader I don't have to visit a whole bunch of sites all the time.

Anyway, I've decided to start a blog to make notes of interesting things I stumble across that impact my classic gaming lifestyle. It's mostly for people like me who don't really have much in terms of "next gen" systems. The newest system I have is the Dreamcast and the GBA. I enjoy playing on classic systems and using emulators. I don't feel compelled to buy many new games since there are so many classics that I still have yet to play. Anyway, if that sounds like you, then you might want to check out my blog.

I also wanted to start writting more, so I figured a blog was a good place to do it. Now I'm still going to contribute here at SX too -- I'm not trying to draw anyone away from this great place. In fact, I hope to link to stuff here quite often. And many things I write for my blog I will post here as well.

But since this project is only 2 days old, I would like your opinions. Just critique whatever. If you have any ideas, just let me know.

Here's the link:

Racket, I'm getting some serious errors with your page while using Firefox:

Excellent site, already found some information i didn't even realize was out there. I have bookmarked and will stay faithful to this for sure. Always great to see someone is in the gap between new and old but still appreciates both.

I'm in with this idea and excellent color scheme for the main page.

thanks for the comments guys.

I've gotten garbled text before -- must be something with Blogger.

Sometimes if I reload the page it's fine.

Can somebody tell me if this link works?...

It should allow you to add my latest news/features to your My Yahoo page

every now and then I still get that garbled text stuff and have to reload.

is the server just being dumb or what?

BTW, I'm in Yahoo's RSS directory -- very cool!

well I've added a few more subscription methods.

Is anyone on here visiting my blog? or subscribing via a feed?

I know there's a couple SXers that have mentioned they enjoyed it, but if anyone else has, lemme know

It's nice to know I'm not just talking to nobody.

BTW, right now I have about 20 unique visits each day on average, but that's only to the actual site and not from feeds.

I click on the banner in your sig every time I see one of your posts, so you could say I am a regular visitor.
