My buddy and I started up a hockey site, where we comment and analyze happenings in a wide variety of hockey leagues.
My ultimate goal with the site is to create an awesome hockey community, it's just a matter of getting people to the site, registe…
It's funny, the bulk of my writing these days is in the 300-word range, and the sites I write for ask angle/take/opinion. The exercise of trying to be profound, in short bursts and on a routine basis, can be rewarding but also mentally taxing. I hav…
Most readers don't have a great attention span. That is why the most read articles are usually short - that goes for print as well. It is pretty difficult to write something that is interesting and informative in less than 200 words, but it's someth…
Scouring Destructoid, Joystiq and Kotaku, I'm not really feeling the short and sweet articles.
There's just something so bland, uninformative and uncreative about them. Even with a short press release, one should still be able to flush out some qua…
Ugh, the problem I have is that I'm not the best blogger. I have a hard time writing short bursts of stuff and like to focus on longer articles. I actually blogged at Destructoid for a bit, but my posts became inconsistent after a while. Maybe I sho…
Yea, I'll try not to drop silly news bits on a Community blog. I'll save editorials and opinion pieces for that.
Are community blogs at sites like 1up or IGN worth pursuing?

- About Me:
- My name is Devin Di Nardo (27 from San Jose, CA), current editor of Lifebar (yourlifebar.com), The Pad Stack (thepadstack.com) and former previews editor for CheatCC.com.
After a couple of attempts to start my own sites for media coverage of the games industry (reporting news, reviews, previews and discussion through podcasts and video shows), I decided to turn my attention towards a professional run.
I'm currently working on building my resume and portfolio (http://www.theslackerfarm.com) in hopes to give potential employers, sites or magazines and great understanding of the breadth of my work. I have a ton of stuff there from when I just started out (2005) to some current editorials I’ve been working on.
If you’re looking for a writer (be it a paid or unpaid position) please let me know! I’m looking for more experience and would love to add my name to your list of fantastic writers.
As of May 16th, 09, I've joined the amazing team of The Start Screen (http://www.thestartscreen.com). I'll be a Feature writer with the team, while providing news and video content!
