We've had these in beta but they've been unannounced for a while. Figured I'd make the first public mention of them here:

http://www.deucescracked.com/mydc

Click the "Blog" tab. You can create a blog and have it hosted with us. Right now the blogs are very very bare bones and they aren't intended to compete with full-featured blog sites like wordpress, but we will be taking suggestions and working to incorporate them where they will make your lives as poker bloggers easy.

You can see an index of all recent blog posts at http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs

In the nearish future, we'll be incorporating more active and more popular blogs with the "Read" page and eventually adding an interface that will allow you to randomly browse through the blogging section.

Feel free to post here with any suggestions or bugs, but keep in mind that we're not aiming to overtake Blogger here -- we just want to give you guys an easy, integrated solution to talking about poker via a Blogging platform.

Things I'm aware of that I'd like to fix:


-The hand converter, when used in-line, pastes a very difficult to read blob of HTML (will be fixed someday, not a super easy task)

-Blog design is very sparse (personally I love this, but we'll probably slowly be adding bits and pieces of prettiness to them)

-Using textile/HTML for blog entries can be a bit tough to understand (we've discussed adding true WSIWYG support, but it's a decent-sized task that we haven't fully committed to yet)

-Pagination needs to be implemented so long scrolly blog posts like mine are easier to look at


Anyway, let me know what you think.

My blog is here: http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/entity

Now yours can be too. Smile

Question : What is the best use i can get out of a blog being a small stakes grinder ? hmm what am i trying to say here .. what is the most +EV way i should look to use my blog for when it comes to grinding a roll , becoming a better player and to help me with my game ? rather than a place to write about a sick downswing ect.

Pretty difficult -- we may eventually do it but it's not in the near-term plans.

Don't hit "Update Blog Info" before, or instead of, "Post" when posting a post. Bye bye to THE most AMAZING blog post EVAR! sorry world.

you'll have to settle for this.

Maybe this should be stickied until a blog button of some sort is incorporated into the layout.

The P button is supposed to give us a new paragraph right? Its just printing .p in my post. If we use HTML in our posts will it be parsed?
