Hi dynasty writers!
If you hadn't noticed, we've added a blog feature to the forum. I'm not entirely sure, but that may be even better suited to dynasty writing than forum posts. I've just started my own dynasty blog here. There's a "Dynasty" blog category too, so you can use that if you elect to create a blog... Thanks! Steve

What would the difference be between that and a regular Dynasty Thread? Sorry if it should be obvious, I'm just unfamiliar with the blog feature here.
Thanks.

Actually yes that makes sense. Anyone that wanted to comment on your latest update or what not could do so,and anyone that wanted to just read your dynasty can go directly without reading through all the following comment posts.

Is there a central listing of all dynasty blogs? Right now I know to visit this forum to read dynasty threads. I'd have no idea where to go to find dynasty blogs. I see a "Blogs" pull down menu on the user bar at the top of each page here on the forums, but none of the entries there specify "dynasty blogs".
Also, are these blogs RSS-enabled? In other words, is there some way to let interested followers know that your blog has been updated recently?

It looks like this: OOTP Developments Forums - Blogs That appears to be the RSS feeds of everthing, but you can also subscribe to an individual blog. We could test some of this out. If someone subscribes to my blog, I can post something new tonight, and you can tell me if you get notified!

I've posted a few different entries now, so not sure if that can help us test out anything...

I've posted a comment on your most recent entry - and that seems to work.
Didn't see the RSS thing yet - but I will add you now!

Very cool that the RSS thing works! I'll certainly note that down. It's been a goal of mine to have some of the owners in my online leagues start their own dynasty threads. This development should help encourage them.

Yeah, as a writer, that's really cool. Also, it makes it much easier for a reader to just look for the "official" posts.

I'm fooling around with as we speak.
Seems pretty cool. Like the ability to add pictures. Awesome.

Would there be a way to integrate this into OOTP11? Allow for some use of the information in-game, like standings, league leaders, etc. to be posted as stories in the game and then linked to the blog feature on the website?
