For the past 8 months I've been running our front page with the open source software Ghost. It is a great system for blog posts, articles and even for newsletters. After 8 months I'm going through the metrics and seeing how well our reach is for the posted content. The news isn't all that great, over these many months our membership level is stagnant at the same level for over several months. In the beginning when the forums were being run under NodeBB, my idea was to integrate the blog posts comments to live within their posts in the forums. Unfortunately the plugin to get this taken care of wasn't working and had not been updated for the latest version of NodeBB. The f…

As I've been going through and re-editing past live streams of the First 2 Hours, I had in the back of my mind of setting up a database of the games I've reviewed. Having a place that would hold the information of each games, it's associated pictures and videos and including the reviews of the game. Knowing what I wanted to see for this new system I actually caught myself in going through some painful building of something that might not look great or even work out as I wanted, I knew about a plugin that does everything I was looking to have done. The Games DatabasePurchasing the plugin and getting it installed is quite easy as Invision Community makes the process user f…

If you are new to influencer marketing, you may be wondering about which platform is best or whether you should focus on one or many. Well, frankly speaking, the platform itself is less important than having a genuine, engaged, and large following. Choose a platform based on your skills and interests. For instance, if you are not comfortable making videos, TikTok or YouTube might be difficult platform. If photography or infographics are your strengths, Instagram and Pinterest might be better option. Focus on quality content and building trust on your chosen platform.
