Not keeping own up to date due to other priorities. Follow War game friends and acquaintances on Facebook.

For me it is A, I follow hundreds, including Leadhead, Ph.D.

I did think it may be worth splitting A into some subcategories such as
Yes, a great resource and follow lots
Yes, a great resource but only follow those I believe are high quality ones
Yes, they are a Ok resource

But then, I think it is getting too picky and I "Yes, great resource" is sufficient.

Yes I do but is there a difference between a wargaming blog and a min. Blog. Or are they the same?

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP07 Jun 2015 7:38 a.m. PST

Blogs are the new 'zines!

But with less getting loopy on mimeograph fumes.

E, no just kidding.

A, and I follows a couple of hundred blogs, which I'm able to do because most of them don't post that regularly. Blogger has a blog reader that allows one to scan the latest posts.

Those that do post regularly, and who write stuff I find interesting get a link on my blog, and if anyone thinks I've missed them, then email and I'll add a link, because I'm open to new ideas and thoughts about wargaming.

A. And I keep one too.

Thanks KTravlos obviously my mindset discounted the boatdgamers :-). Ironic given my spare room has so many in it.

Weasel07 Jun 2015 10:06 a.m. PST

Quite a few year. Usually check through in the morning before getting started.

A. I am fairly selective about which ones I follow though.

At least they are rarely 'down for maintenance' when I'm trying to read them:)

There are some very interesting and inventive blogs out there.

I also have a blog, but that's mostly about painting my mini armies, and hardly about gaming. I should change that, I know…

Should somebody be interested miniwargamers.blogspot.be

B, but occasionally A.

OSchmidt08 Jun 2015 8:14 a.m. PST

C at best.
Beyond Stokes Schwartz blog, most of them aren't worth the time to find.

Old Contemptibles08 Jun 2015 8:51 a.m. PST

G. I check out certain blogs for uniform and scenario information. Too many of them require you to be logged into a social network like FB or g+ to leave comments.

Other than Yahoo! Groups I don't do social networking. I have signed on to follow blogs only to find out I cannot post messages. Don't assume everyone is on FB!
