Everyones A Blogger

It’s not going to be regular event that I post up this many rather useless news pieces on my site – but sadly it is necessary to do it again. Well not sadly actually because both my pieces of news are good for the Football Manager blogging community, and therefore this site.

I’ve gone affiliate crazy and have pledged my sites name into two new projects, an ambitious new community wordpress ‘forum’ that just might work and an scene old timer trying to revive itself. So yesterday a few sites of the blog community received an e-mail containing a piece of long awaited and expected news (for the ones who read Blog FM anyway) – The Editor was starting up a new Blogging paradise, The Football Manager WordPress Community…

So, being one to jump on bandwagons (and then usually being thrown off them) I said I’d use his new system to create an FM blogging haven and help more hits flood into the site. To find out more about this project please visit the site:

HERE. And also read how you can be part of it, here, no, this linky.

And then there is FGN, the once Godfather of the scene and former home to the ultimate scene debate have decided to start up there networking scheme again and have offered a place for me to be part of it. I’m not expecting to inject a surge of activity into the site, I accepted there offer because a) I like the place and b) it would be great to have my own little part of the forum – it would help expand my lacking discussion posts and create talk about all my articles generally. This should be up some time after the weekend.

Now, it seems the new scene thing is too blog, like I do here, and quite fucking frankly it’s cramping my style. I literally can’t keep up with the amount of blog’s opening – but will they last I wonder or are they a spur of the moment thing to jump on the bandwagon? Well, the numerous new ones certainly have potential. This is my final point of this update that is turning so long it could be a full blown article, the opening of some sparse new blogs.

Places such as Affside (a scottish play of words of Offside), MarvellousScene and Scene Rant have been opened by popular members of the scene and are brimming with visitors already (well Affside is – most of them are just jokers). This is all good and well, but the content so far has been a bit so so I must admit – although places like Affside seem really to follow the prime focus of a blog, a place for Jordo to air his thoughts about FM, the scene and erm, homosexuals – and it seems he really want to make a go of it seriously, so I wish him luck, I’m sure his popularity and views could get him far. He certainly has the fast track to success due to him being popular on numerous large forums.

The other two seem to be mostly about the scene, which is all good as I do like a scene article myself, even more than a worded Football Manager piece of genius. Now these both seem to be run by intelligent members of the FM community, and I am quite surprised by there content – it’s actually good. Bar a few spelling mistakes and ignoring the fact it’s mostly re-chewed ideas spat out of a piece of web, MarvellousScene could turn into a good place for the odd scene rant and I’d like to see it expand into Football Manager in the future. Although I wish both these new domains and the exploding blog community as a whole muchy success.
