Starting a blog - Rian - 13-10-2009
My friends and I are gonna start a blog that covers new, general technology stuff. Computer hardware, mobile devices, maybe games, you get the idea - Tech Stuff
I've purchased two domains, I was wondering which name you guys liked better.
TechRot.net or TechGrip.net
As for the 'Help Wanted' portion of this post, I was wondering if anyone could design some sort of logo for me. I've selected a simple wordpress theme, but the text title just isn't exciting. This is the template I'll be using Logo Specifications: About the same size as the text logo, just with a bit more color to contrast the black and white template. I'd do it myself, but I don't have PhotoShop or even PaintShop Pro at the moment.
I suppose we'll also be looking for anyone interested in contributing as a blog author. So if you like writing tech-geek reviews, let me know.
Oh, and lastly, I'll probably be auctioning off my current domain (orpgmaker.com) if anyone is interested in that.

Oh, and does anyone have any hosting suggestions? My godaddy expires in a couple months and I'll be switching hosting. Godaddy is too slow, and too confusing to work with.

Host Monster is number 1 on that list, it's what I use and I have never had problems, it's pretty easy to work with and relatively cheep.

I may be wanting that orpgmaker.com.

I will also bid on that Domain should you decide to Auction it.

Just curious, but why?
Re: Starting a blog - GIAKEN - 14-10-2009
That's a good domain name to have. It's really simple and short. It explains your website just by reading the domain name...ORPG Maker.
If I get it I'll just forward it to asphodelgames.com or something.

I was asking that of Fox. I don't see how he could need it.

It's not an orpg maker. It's an open source vb6 engine.

ORPG Maker would be more directed towards an engine like PW, XW, etc. Not a source..
Re: Starting a blog - Rian - 14-10-2009
Well, sure. But even so, you can use that source to make an orpg. I might just keep this domain. I forgot I had almost 2 years left.

Its a nice Domain to submit to search engines etc to draw extra traffic.
Also, the plan is to have both a compiled and code release, catering to both sectors of the market - hence the domain name would be appropriate.

Oh okay. Makes sense now.
