GameBlurg

As you can see, the site’s aesthetics have changed once again. This will be a more stable change until MUCH further notice. We’ve fixed the visuals, with the pure goal of making GameBlurg’s visual appearance appealing and inducing an easier approach for readers to discover our content. The latter is still being worked on, which is the core reason for this post.

Bugs, Navigation, Jelly Beans:

From the feedback I’ve received, it’s relatively “easy” to loose yourself in the content that we have from the home page. The GameBlurg staff is in the process of creating an easier navigation tool for those who might find difficulties in walking throughout our little world.

1. Scrolling over the small numbers below the ‘banners’ are necessary to present certain stories, features, blog posts, etc. For example: scrolling over slide number ‘3′ will generate “On Life Support…”.

2. I’ve always felt a inherited duty to credit original artists with their work by appropriately linking the photos back to their original homes (usually Flickr). Apparently, this wasn’t so…apparent. Don’t click on the first picture, and generally, click the inverted counterpart that follows.

3. Of course, with this site’s soft re-launch, we’ve encountered a few bugs, and we are sure that you, the reader, will as well. Stay tight, as we are working on them. If you are ever so kind, and happen to find some of these bugs, please report them (mauriciobowers@gameblurg.com).

4. If you are an Internet Explorer user, don’t stray. We’ve seen your pain, and will fix the mess that is our CSS coding to better suit your viewing pleasure.

5. Lastly, we’re well aware of all of the small things missing from the old theme: Twitter, Videogame Diary, etc. It’s all coming back. It’s all just coding nonsense, but it’s coming back, along with some new goodies.

The main reason we worked so hard to create this theme was to cultivate a distinctive “feel” when even thinking about GBlurg: the site’s content deviates from the normal and routine, and we felt that it’s exoskeleton should disperse from the external looks of a normal videogame blog as well. Not to mention we like pretty stuffs.

Hope you all likes. After all of this designing mumbo jumbo, we’re ready to start talking about games again!
