A little while back I observed the competitive gaming scene and saw some opportunities. After talking to a bunch of people I made a little plan and went to designing. I was building a site that would be well received among competitive gamers, whether you were playing online ladders at Gamebattles or traveling to LAN events for MLG. I found myself surrounded by very marketable and talented players, people who could bring big crowds to the site and keep them interested. But it was a combination of me and them losing drive for the project and it never left the gates. Well I put alot of work into this site and built one of the best wordpress driven sites I’ve seen, I implemented tons of really nice features and spent a few late nights polishing it up. So here I am looking for some gaming writers who want to get in on the action.

The site is going to provide a collection of articles, videos, and insider news that is fueling the MLG and Gamebattles world. All this content is written by competitive gamers, for competive gamers. This website is all about the gaming community, So I need some people with some free time that can write for me and help promote it. Of course if the site becomes successfull I will be more than happy to share profits made through advertiseing and site monitization.

Therefore, If you are Gamer who plays matches, you know what GB is, you know what MLG is, and you are willing to write some articles in your freetime and make some easy money, please contact me or post in the comments. We can get started immediatly finalizing the site with some content and promotions.

The site is not-yet live as I am finishing up some minor details, but you can visit it at:

Gamer.JoMilla.com

EDIT: The site is now live at CertifiedGamer.net, Check it out!

Home:

I tried to keep the pages simple, and put some featured content on the home page.

Product Pages:

Bold containers and Big images on the product pages.

Single Pages:

So. I finally got around to finishing up my own site, I’ve been very busy with school, paintball, and other various prjects. As you can see, for once I didnt do a Completely new redesign, Its actually the first time Ive taken the same concept and polished it up. Usually I end up redesigning every few weeks, never completeing a whole design. Well, her it is, still using my ‘Darkness’ theme with the woodgrain, but Now I have polished up each page and realigned alot of stuff. Im sure I will be polishing more and more as time goes by and implementing some new plugins and features. I have never really been a strong ‘blogger’ so I’m happy to see a new graphic-driven front page. I will however, try to create some intresting articles for you guys and also supplying some goodies. I have been working on some Mac Application and interface tweaks, as well as a bunch of wall papers, icons, fonts, stock vectors, and photoshop resources for you guys to download. So bookmark me, grab my rss feed, and check back. I will do my best to keep this site rolling. And also, as always, I am looking for some freelance jobs and jobs in general so feel free to check me out and contact me if you got anything for me.

Anyway, the next version will be up very soon..

Wow, I realized the site just got a new design not too long ago, but here we are with a brand new theme. ‘Woody’ is what I am calling it and I think it presents a different and unique image. The Light colored design I had done just didn’t seem like ‘me’. Kinda maybe something you would see at free-templates or whatever.. Well this theme looks alot more personal, and if it doesn’t appeal to the ‘professional’ clients, I will just live with that. As far as a professional themed website goes, hopefully they can find what there looking for in the portfolio. I like my site, and I guess thats what its about.

Anyway, with this new theme up and utilizing more features every day, I will be adding some web-apps, downloads, and some custom desktop backgrounds and icons to promote the site and give people a reason to visit. I’ve always been open about sucking at blogging, but I’m going to try and pick that up some more also. Maybe its because I feel like I am talking to myself, I dunno. As I make more and more dot-comrads (internet-people) I will feel more obligated to post.

Anyway, if theres any life out there, please do me a favor and throw up a comment on what you think of this dark layout. Allthough im adding more and more features all the time, here are some things that stick out in my mind:

clean up some bugs..

What’s interesting about his list, because there are many, is the manner he’s phrased his introduction.

Steve begins by talking about heuristics. These are, very simply, little rules that guide you to a bigger solution or goal.

As you take action you begin to explore the solution space, which deepens your understanding of the problem. As you gain knowledge about the problem, you can make course corrections along the way, gradually improving your chances of finding a solution.

Thinking about self-improvements in this way allow some room to breath. You’re not trying to solve a big problem with one big solution, because sometimes, as Steve says, you don’t really know what the big problem is.

As for productivity, it’s very general. So in attempting actions that could improve your productivity, you’ll find an easier path to your productive goals.

Well im still wrapping up the process of making everything work. So what better of a way, and less effort on my part, to update my site with some interesting content. Heres a cool video from youtube. This here video is made by a Norwegian dude named Lasse Gjertsen, and has so far been viewed over 1.8 million times on YouTube (earning the highest user ratings in just a month). It’s a stop-motion video of Lasse “playing” the drums and piano. The trick is that the tune is actually created by Lasse’s crafty editing, rather than musical talent. He recorded himself playing each note individually, and then arranged them on his computer to create the whole piece. Pretty cool stuff. Click ‘read more’ to view the video.

EDIT: I guess the Video has been taken down.
