Blogs are Live

You can now create personal blog entries on OrnLARP.com.  The functionality has actually existed on the site for awhile, but I needed to do some work to make it easier to navigate.
 
Your blog can be used however you like.  For example, I put up a few posts about game design in mine, and I know some players would like a place to post stories about their characters.  Obviously, you should keep your posts PG-13 like the rest of the site, but since blog posts aren't promoted to the front page of the site like forum threads, pretty much anything else goes.
 
To read a blog, navigate to a user profile and click the Blog tab at the top.  To post a new blog entry, navigate to your own user profile, click the Blog tab, and click the Post new blog entry link at the top of the page.

Aweseome!  Hmm...what to write...what to write?
 
Is there any way to have a section on the main page that
 lists what users have updated their blogs recently instead of clicking on each individual profile to see if they have one?

I agree with Crystal. I would like to know of blogs that are added without having to go through all accounts daily.
I know there is a Twitter feed for announcements, but ever though of creating an RSS feed for front page posts, and have the option to include new blogs? If you want, I can tell you my ideas later.
 
BTW, is the chat thingy gone?

Ask and you shall receive.  I've added a link to the Community menu that will allow you to see all blog entries as they are created or commented upon, just as you see other content on the home page.  It's looking pretty sparse right now (just one post from me from last year), so get busy filling it up. ;)
