That brings me to one of his points be discusses, point number 8, comment on other people’s blogs.  This is a great way to hold a discussion or in my case here, create inspiration for a blog post.

Some more tips to consider in no specific order:

• I have to point out Mynxee’s comment, then point to it again and again and again…It takes time to grow a following.  Well written posts on a fairly consistent schedule will keep readers coming back.  Many bloggers start out trying to write a post every day.  Protip, don’t.  Write at least two posts a week max when starting out.  Don’t overdo it, you will burn out.
• Write posts in advance.  I take time every Sunday to sit down and read.  I read the EVE forums, I read blog posts from other bloggers that I have starred in Google Reader and I decide what I am going to write.  I write out a few different draft posts and touch them up over the following week.
• Mur Lafferty has a wonderful writing podcast, I Should Be Writing.  She has a great quote and I can’t remember it verbatim, but this is the sentiment, “It’s okay to suck.  Write and suck at writing.  The only way you will get better is to write, suck at it and write some more.”  Write that piece of fan fiction and let it bomb horribly.  Need some examples of bad fan fiction, read my stories.  They totally suck when compared to many of our talented fiction writers like Roc and Shae Tiann.  It’s okay that my fiction sucks, it will get better in time and more importantly, I enjoy writing the stories.
• Don’t topic spam.  This is a very hard one to do.  With 500 blogs listed in our OPML file, the potential for posts that are on the same topic is very high.  There is nothing wrong with people talking about the same topic, say an upcoming expansion, but when there are several posts with identical content, the general reader base may tend to skip over your post.  Sometimes it’s better to keep that post as a draft and use it later, perhaps revise it with a different perspective after a day or two.
• In reference to point number 7, I found it useful state at the top of my bio about having auto-reject turned on and to in game mail me so that I don’t encounter an ill timed chat request.  I also turned off my in game email charge so that people can contact me without having to pay isk.  When someone does contact you in game, do try to respond to them.
• Tags.  Use tags for your posts and try to use similar tags for similar topics.  Search engines love organization and if you are consistently using tags and categories in your blog, you will increase traffic to older posts.  Just because a post is not on the first page does not mean that someone will not read it.  Remember, people add blogs to their RSS readers all the time.  Your first post from 2 years ago may be brand new to people today.
• Spell check.  Do it, your readers will thank you.
• Read your post aloud before you publish it.  Things you write always seem to look fine when you read them in your mind, hearing the words in your ears helps to smooth out language.  Again, your readers will thank you.
• Revisit old posts and write new ones.  It’s funny, your perspective on something in game can change over time.  You may have really hated warp bubbles in nullsec when you were trying to take a shortcut a year ago but you may really love them now as you may be a HIC pilot.  Write a new post about how your perspective has changed and why.
• Publish your blog to the Kindle.  I know, it sounds silly.  Why subscribe to a blog on a Kindle when you can read it in a RSS reader or web browser.  Well, some people like to subscribe to blogs and read them while traveling and while they are NOT connected to the online world.  It’s another way to expand your reader base and best of all, it’s free!
• That’s all I can think of for right now.  If you have some tips or tricks on blogging, do contribute to the discussion over on Casiella’s blog!

• For those of you following blogging legislation, in the US, bloggers are now required to disclose if they have been compensated when they write an article for a product, service, website, et al.  DisclosurePolicy.org makes it very easy to write your policy for your blog with a Policy Generator tool. I do recommend that you head over there and read about the new law and how you can protect yourself from making a mistake.  I’ve added such a policy to my blog on my About page.

I’ve been busy as you can see, more to come soon!

What I find really cool is the RSS aggregation that updates for all the EVE Online blogs in real time and thus we come to the point of my post here.

As you are well aware, I maintain an OPML download file for RSS readers for the EVE Online Community.  It’s a lot of work to maintain and I have a lot of help from the bloggers and the readers in keeping the file populated with all the EVE related blogs out there.

Alexia and I work closely together to ensure that we both have the same blogs listed in our services.  Such work in all honestly is time consuming and creates confusion.  It confuses us when we are updating our blog lists and it confuses people as to where they should go to find the latest information on EVE blogs.

As the old saying goes, the less hands in the pie, the less mess.  So will be true for OPML files for our community.

From this point forward, there will be ONE OPML Download file.   This file will be obtainable from Alexia’s wonderful site.   Alexia has given me a user account on The EVE Online Portal so we both can easily continue our work in bringing the best and most up to date EVE Blogging resources to the community.

So, please head over to The EVE Online Portal at http://www.evebloggers.com and enjoy the fruits of our labor!

• EVE Players Blogs OPML Download Updated (6)

Alexia and I have been comparing our relative OPML files and we have both found that we have duplicates within our own listings as well as sites that one of us had and the other did not.  This has happened for a few reasons:

Different urls for the same blog

Some people have two different rss feed urls for their blogs.  I am one of them, in fact, I have three.  I have the normal rss feed, a FeedBurner url for email syndication and a third url used for Kindle Syndication.

There is nothing wrong with having multiple rss urls as you can increase your exposure to different audiences and this increase your number of regular readers.  Some people have a different blog titles for their different feed urls and this again led to duplicates being listed in our respective OPML files.

Going forward, Alexia and I will be confirming which url you want to use.  That way, we don’t get “rss feed blog spam” like we were getting.  If you wish to send us each different rss feed urls, we will be happy to accommodate your request, just let us know so that you don’t get listed multiple times or worse, not at all.

Time or more accurately, the lack thereof.

CrazyKinux maintains the central blogroll for the EVE Blogging community and has done so for many years now. CK is a human being as are myself and Alexia.  Being human beings and not gods, we are subject to such pesky mortal things such as work, family and that dreaded real life. We play EVE because it’s fun and we write about EVE because we enjoy writing about a subject that inspires us.  It’s a hobby for us, not a job.  If we could all make a living from this we would, but that’s not possible….yet.

In the past, Alexia and I were using CK’s listing as the main source for our lists.  As real life occupied more of his time the updates fell a bit behind.  Alexia and I started to collect blogs from the comments on his listing as well as submission we would receive by email or on our respective blog posts (Hi Cyberin!).  Everyone has gotten so busy that our communication between the three of us fell behind and unfortunately some blogs ended up not being listed in all the places that the should have as well as the discrepencies in who was listed where.

At this point, I think we have a better handle on things and by the end of this month CK will have his listing updated.  Alexia and I have our lists in sync for the most part and no one should be missed now.

With all the changes over the past few days to our respective lists, it’s impossible to list out all the additions, removals and url changes.  That being said, I would recommend the following:

• Read the blogs on the EVE Bloggers portal (http://www.evebloggers.com).  It’s up to date and gets you your daily fix.
• If you want to use your own RSS reader on a PC, download a fresh copy of the OPML download and use FeedDemon.  It’s a great desktop rss reader and best of all, it’s free.  It’s sync with Google Reader is pretty good too.
• If you read your rss feeds on the iPhone/iPod Touch, use Feeds.  It costs $2.99 in the iTunes store, but it’s one of the better rss readers for the iPhone/iPod Touch and it too robustly syncs with Google Reader.
• Google Reader is a good reader and being web based makes it a commonly used resource, but it is not as robust as many other applications.  It’s OPML import tool is very blind.  It does not validate data and will import a feed you may already have, leading to duplciates.  It will also not perform updates to existing feeds, such as url changes and/or removals like FeedDemon does.

I personally use Google Reader as a bridge between FeedDemon and Feeds and it all works well.  I read feeds in the morning at home on my iPod Touch, let it sync with Google Reader, pick up where I left off on Google Reader at lunch time and finish out with FeedDemon that night at home.  Yeah, I read a lot.  :p

I want to thank all the EVE Bloggers out there for continuing to create wonderful content. You guys do a great job.  Thank you all for reading and keep it coming!

See you out there!

GameScribe Service Update

GameScribe recently was shaken to the core when its hosting provider upped and closed without so much as a few days notice. You may have notice the site not up do to this unforeseen break in service. But this has given us the chance to do something that we feel was a long time coming. When we first started GameScribe several month ago we intended on spreading out to their games and supporting a bustling blogging community. But setback after setback has prevented us from catching on in any of our target communities. Only our baby, the EVE Community ever really got going. So we have decided to scale back, and focus on the community that has given us a meaning, and given us a reason to be here. As of now GameScribe is being re branded and will focus solely on the EVE Community and bringing the best in EVE Online Networking.

Say Hello to Tweveit Connect

We are happy to announce that GameScribe is being rebranded into Tweveit Connect. For those of you unfamiliar to the tweveit name, it is a new project that we have undertaken to bring a slew of EVE video Tutorials and learning materials to EVE Online. The main site is located at www.tweveit.com. While we were considering our options with GameScribe and working on Tweveit the idea screamed in our face, why not connect the two services and give the EVE community a goliath of a site. While Tweveit is still in its infancy, we have only 2 tutorials completed, GameScribe is developed and has a great user base. So we are now ready to unveil Tweveit Connect, you can visit the site at connect.tweveit.com. We invite you to check out the site and to please sign up to enjoy its vast features and unlock its networking potential.

I already have a Gamescribe account, why must I sign up at Tweveit Connect?
Well, that is more complicated than we really have space to explain. But here it goes. Due to the vast amount of problem GameScribe had in the past, and the number of inactive accounts, we have no real way to discern who wants to continue using the service. This give us an opportunity to scale back, free up resources and let those who would assume be done with us move on and NEVER hear from us again. Also due to url changes and other web scripting differences between Tweveit Connect and GameScribe it is not possible to transfer user accounts directly.

What about all my content that was on GameScribe?
Well, to put it plainly. Due to the nature of why GameScribe was closed down(hosting provider going belly up) we have no way to recover some of the files that were there. We did manage to recover a butt load of data, but we also missed out on some of it. So once you create a new account here at Tweveit Connect you will have the opportunity to recover some if not all of your old content.

Also, If you created a backup like we requested you can recover all content from that.

Thanks,
The GameScribe/Tweavit Connect Team

PS- This is the last time you will receive anything from GameScribe. All new signups at Tweveit Connect will be added to a new mailing list and this one will be destroyed. We hope to see you at Tweveit, but if not, May the force be with you !

So there you have it, GameScribe is now closed as it was in it’s old form.  I have visited Tweveit and I must say, it’s a professional looking website.  There is a lot of potential for this new venture.  The current content is solid and useful.  I look forward to seeing how this evolves.

For those of you who had blogs on GameScribe, I do feel bad for you with this sudden shutdown of you sites.  I would suggest that you head over to Podlogs (http://www.podlogs.com) to setup your hosting.  That way, you will still be able to use the same EVE related themes for our blogs.

I have updated the OPML to reflect the absence of the Gamescribe hosted blogs, we are now at 330 blogs in the OPML now.  For those that lost their blogs and are able to create a new blog, email me at galen@eve-druid.com and I will get your new site added into the OPML download.

See you out there!!!

Yup, it’s official.  The Wandering Druid of Tranquility blog is officially 2 years old today.

Happy birthday to you….happy birthday to you….

Wow, where did the time go?  Posts, pages, many theme changes, PvP engagements recounted, patch notes, 3 different corporations player corporations as well as my own stints in my 1 man corporations, alts created.  In real life I got married, changed jobs, upgraded computers, watched a cat grow ill and pass on, found a wonderful puppy (The infernal coconut fluff ball of fury).  The time has just flown by faster than a Polaris class frigate.

Man, it’s been a wild ride,  a lot of fun and I have seen a lot happen in the two years that I have been blogging.  Let’s take a trip down amnesia lane, shall we?

`In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were REAL men, women were REAL women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small furry creatures from Aplha Centauri.’ –Douglas Adams.

I have seen a lot of changes and growth in the EVE community and especially in the EVE blog sphere over the past two years.  More and more people are writing about their experiences in game.  More and more people are sharing their viewpoints on many issues.  The dialogue that has ensued is as varied as the clouds in the sky.  Everyone has a different point of view and everyone articulates it very well.  It’s a collection of verse that makes this powerful play that more enjoyable for everyone.

Do you remember when Innonimate Nightmare  first started posting about his adventures in 0.0 space (http://00experiment.blogspot.com/2006/07/eve-online-00-experiment-post-001.html)?

The objective of this experiment is quite simply to throw him in at the deep end and see how well he survives and to regale and entertain with tales of his outlandish adventures along the way……

And thus, EVE history was made.  Do visit this blog and read through it’s entries.  It may no longer be active, but it’s a great read.

Do you remember when Nexa Necis first shared with the EVE community his now infamous ‘Carebear Playbook’ (http://www.eve-pirate.com/index.php?/archives/828-Sour-Grapes-For-Carebears-Fine-Whines-For-TRAPS.html#extended)?

1. Get war dec’d
2. Laugh at the corp who dec’d you. Talk shit. Lie and cheat if at all possible.
3. If you have died a lot now, think of as many excuses as you can. Hide out. Make threats. Name drop if possible.
4. If you’re still losing 500mil a week from losses, and the corp is offering you 200mil to surrender, don’t accept it. Petition it.
5. Consider starting a new corp or even better, join an alliance. Another option is to stay permadocked.
6. If those aren’t viable options, run and hide in a NPC corp and pray they don’t war dec the next corp you join.

This set of ‘rules’ was the source of many posts on the EVE forums, many people took offense to this list as many war targets fell to the continual attacks of Nexa and her ‘merry men’.

Can you remember when Crazy Kinux first posted his EVE Online Blogroll Lovefest (http://www.crazykinux.com/2008/04/eve-online-blogroll-lovefest.html) and when it was less than 100 entries long?

Can you remember when the NOS/Neut balancing was just a discussion or when the speed and agility balancing was in testing?

Can you remember when EVE blogging was something that only ‘a few’ people were doing?

I’ve been playing for over 3 years now and I can tell you, there has been a lot that has happened in the game.  It’s been a pleasure and an honor to write about it for the past 2 years.  I look forward to seeing what I will be writing about in the next year and beyond.

So, Happy Birthday to The Wandering Druid of Tranquility blog!!!  Here’s to many more entries to come….

It happens.  You have the intention of writing a wonderful blog post and suddenly, you find that you can’t write because of many different distractions.  “Ga’len, get in a fleet BS, we have a blob coming.” or the sudden realization that it’s only 6 hours until dawn and you have to work in the morning.

It happens to us all.  You have all these things you want to write about and then you forget to write those notes down, then you are reminded of what you wanted to write about when you read about it in another blog.

You get stuck.  You start to encounter all that wonderful discussion on other people’s blogs and you find that you are posting less and less.  All the things you want to talk about have already been said and from the many EVE blogs that are out there, most perspectives are already covered.

So, what do you do?

Well, you write about your problems with writing.  Sometimes it leads to a great post, a story or some tidbit that gets you out of the rut.  Other times, you are stimply stuck.

I don’t want to write about another PvP engagement as many of those stories are all very similar.  “I engaged a target……many fun volleys…..target goes pop.”   It gets old.

Ah, I know, I have something.  Whew!!!!  Post coming up soon….

Of course, I will be online, got to have some fun you know.

However, when I am working on something, like an episode of The Bleeding Rose, I use another wonderful tool.  It’s called Dark Room (http://they.misled.us/dark-room).  It’s a clone of the Whiteroom (http://hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom) application for the Mac.  It allows you to block out your entire screen so that the only thing you are looking at is the text you are working on.  It’s a great tool and I do use it when I encounter the writer’s block from time to time.

Another tool that I will use every now and again is the blogging feature in digg.  If you don’t already have a digg account, head over to http://www.digg.com and set one up.  It’s useful in keeping up to date on what’s hot on the web as well as giving peeps to your favorite blog.  When you submit a digg or digg an item, you can blog your dugg item right there.

There are a number of blogging tools out there that make blogging fun and productive.  What tools do you use?

Honestly, I can’t maintain both blogs.  I spend more time working on articles on the little spot and I end up posting them here.  I play EVE.  I play a lot, it’s my main hobby.  This hobby has led me to do many other things, such as setup this blog, work with setting up and maintain a killboard using the EVE dev killboard appplication (awesome killboard software by the way, the best out there in my opinion).

So I have decided to consolidate the two blogs.  The question was, how to do it?  Would I import all the tntries from the old blog, which covered topics that are obviously not EVE related or should I just keep the old one in a archive style and continue with the two consolidated together from this point forward.

From a technical aspect, it would be a fun project to move everthing together.  Importing all the entries into the current blog, should not be that hard as everything was done using the same application.  Heck, the old blog used to live on LiveJournal for a few years, I’ve done the move before.

So, over the next few weeks, this blog will be in a slight state of flux, pulling in entries from the old one.  We will see how it goes and if  don’t like the end result, I will pull them out.

See you around!!!

For everyone’s convenience, Alexia has a wonderful service, The EVE Online Portal (http://www.evebloggers.com).  This website aggregates all the RSS feeds for every blog in EVE Online.

I personally like to read things in a reader, makes it easier to get everything at once.  Fortunately, most blogs have RSS support, so, I can get my EVE Blog fix in my favorite RSS reader.

I used to maintain an OPML file with all the blogs I found as I wandered around the web.  I maintained this file for the community for over 2 years.  In that time, the OPML file has grown and grown to over 500 live sites.  Unfortunately, not all of those blogs are active blogs.  Some have not seen any new posts in literally years.

Mandrill over at I am Keith Neilson maintains a different sort of animal.  He has a OPML file that only contains active blogs.  It’s streamlined and has constant maintenance to adjust for blogs that are no longer active so that you will always have access to fresh content.

Head over to http://keithneilson.co.uk/eve-bloggers-opml-download for your OPML file for the most fresh EVE blogging content.
