Please keep in mind that I am posting this strictly as a user, not a staff member. That is, this is something that I would personally like to see, and have not ran it across any other staff members.
The title sums it up entirely. I would like to see a subforum called, "Blogs," or something similar, that can be found under All About You.
What brought this to mind was that I am currently playing a game that I recently got for the computer (Stardew Valley) and am also playing Pokemon, starting from the Gen I Yellow download I recently got for my 3DS, and am planning to play the gens in order. (Starting Yellow, then going Soul Silver, Omega Ruby, and so on, playing the most recent releases for each gen that I own.) And I thought it would be neat to have somewhere that I can write that is dedicated to my progress through my individual games. (Or, game adventures, since all the Pokemon stuff would likely be in one.)
At one time, I also thought about doing an anime review blog, as well as a baby blog.
The thing is, yes, we have Journals, where we are entirely free to post about whatever we want. However, I don't want my Journal overran with several posts a week that are entirely about super specific things. Having five posts in one week that are all about Stardew Valley, then another three about Pokemon in my journal detailing little things just doesn't seem like the best idea. Other things, like life updates that may keep me from Evelon, other personal feelings that are more Journal-like in nature, would be swamped amongst the blog-like posts.
Additionally to that, yes, I could use a blogging service. However, my online life is practically just Evelon at this point, since my free time is considerably limited. Evelon is comfortable. Evelon is home. Evelon is generally full of people that I don't mind reading all of my random things. Things possibly being exposed to all of the internet, at least more so than it would be on Evelon, makes me uncomfortable, but I want to write! I want to write these things. Plus, Evelon has seen my writing for years now so, yeah, comfortable. And I know the coding for posting on Evelon and don't need to take a lot of extra time to make things super fancy like you would a dedicated blog page, with backgrounds and such. Besides, we Evelon folk seem to share a lot of similar hobbies, so I figure other users may enjoy reading the blogs that others write.
And, of course, users could blog about just about anything, as long as it fits Evelon rules, and have several threads for different dedicated blogs. Want to blog about your vacation? Maybe your cooking or baking? Your cosplay and con adventures? Whatever you want to blog about, go for it.
I included a poll to make things nice and easy, but I would like to hear the opinions of others, especially those that are not for it, so please post! <3
