General news about happenings at MassMOG.com

New Network-wide Login System Activated

Submitted by Hoza on March 4, 2010 - 8:09am

I've enabled a "single sign-on" system that allows for all the sites on the "MassMOG Network" of sites to share user login information.  That means you can log in to one of the sites on the network, and you'll be logged in to all the rest of the sites.  Now, you might be wondering what "all the sites" means when you're just at MassMOG.com now, eh?  Well... that's where things get busy for me.

Soon, I'll be unveiling what I hope to be some good content sites focused on "FAQ"-type information about massively multiplayer online games.  For now, these links won't look any different, but I'm planning on rolling out MMOFAQ.com and WoWFAQ.com, among others if I can get the time (or help) to post enough content to justify them.

I'll post more when I officially launch these sites, but for now, just keep in mind that there is more coming!

Thanks a ton for visiting!  Please come back soon... with friends. :)

You might need to re-enter the Faunasphere giveaway

Submitted by Hoza on July 30, 2009 - 4:18pm

Sorry for the hassle, but if you entered the Faunasphere beta giveaway before today (July 30th) at 4pm MST, and were NOT logged in with a MassMOG.com account, your entry was not likely saved properly.  Gah!  Again, sorry about that.  Just run over and fill 'er out again and you're golden.

However, this does point out the simple lesson to be learned here:  membership has its privelages, eh?  :P  (Even if they're unintentional.. I did not do this on purpose just to weed out the slackers who don't want to join the MassMOG.com bus.)

Once more, I'm sorry about any inconvenience on this one.

 

"Themes, they are a-changin'"

Submitted by Hoza on July 28, 2009 - 9:53pm

Here I go again with site theme changes. I wasn't very happy with the last one (well, I had intended to fix it up and make the tweaks so I liked it, but that never happened.) So, now I have a new one that still needs tweaks that I may not do. Yay!

Hope it's better to those of you visiting regularly -- to the new blood, I hope you like it as it is! I'll be doing some more tweaks soon, but first, I need to write up an article or two about stuff that's been burning holes in my Inbox from developers.

Thanks for visiting and please keep coming back!

Cheers,

Another theme "adjustment"

Submitted by Hoza on January 12, 2009 - 3:41am

"Hurray!", I'm sure you're saying. Yet another adjustment to the site theme has just occurred. Many of you watched it happen in front of your eyes, but since I'm not inclined to do things the "pro" way, I didn't bother to take the site down while tweaking. This is all live, baby!

(ugh.. I did indeed say "baby".. shame and all that ensues.)

So, I still think the text is way too big (as of this moment) and it's pretty stark, but I like where this might be heading compared to the last one. I would really rather go with a completely different theme, but hey, I'm not a theme designer and I don't have time to mess with this too much. The older green one was just bugging me. I need to round off some of these sharp edges or this one will start to bug me too.

Anyway, thanks for the visit! I'll get on to posting some news soon.

Cheers,
Hoza

Site maintenance

Submitted by Hoza on May 4, 2006 - 2:42pm

[update: Mostly upgraded, but still a few straggling bugs to squash. Thanks for any patience you've mustered, if you were around for the worst of the mess. And yes, I'm going to ditch this theme soon and get something looking much better... time, time, time. Thanks for visiting.]

more blah after jump...  (don't worry, it's all just as useless to read.) 

"Game List" makes its debut

Submitted by Hoza on February 6, 2006 - 1:44am

I'm working a lot on the backend of MassMOG.com and here's a bit more proof... I've added what I hope to be a helpful new glossary section called the Game List.  This is done in the new (to me) "glossary" style so every time you see the name of a game on the list, like the newly-added World of Warcraft, you will see a link to its entry in the Game List (yeah, you should have just seen said link).  I'm hoping this will speed my authoring times ultimately, but it will also help a lot to build up the core content base of this site.

I'm not anxious to move fully into the reviews of games, but this list will help me throw down my thoughts on the game, while adding various links in a central location that is searchable on the site.  I'll figure out how to best format these pages, but for now, you can see the root of the Game List here and check out the WoW page to see how it might look.  Registered folk are also welcome to post comments on the game pages, but I'm not sure what you're going to want to write in there.  If you want to comment on this feature itself, here's the place to comment.

Of course, this is all rather new, so bear with me as I figure out the besterest ways to handle this newfangled thingie.  Thanks! :)

Working on the site again

Submitted by Hoza on January 19, 2006 - 10:08pm

I'm working on a couple back-end things for the site... sorry if you see funky wonkiness for a bit here.  I should have the dust settling soon.  The Glossary is sorta live now, but I may have found a better way to do it, so it's going to be in flux, too.

Sorry for the mess.  :P 

New graphical site theme

Submitted by Hoza on January 15, 2006 - 7:28pm

If you've been here before, you'll notice the look of the site is morphing right now... I hope you like it.  I'm still not sure how much I'll commit to customizing the theme of the site totally, but I'm liking this theme I found a lot more.  I know it's moderately unprofessional to use a common theme like this, but I just don't have too much time on my hands.

 Anyway, please bear with me if you see stuff moving around a lot or colors changing, etc.  I wanted a better theme for a long time, so it's all good that somethings being done at all.  Thanks for dropping in... post a comment if you want to give feedback on all of this.

Thanks!

Hoza
