Hey everyone,

And again, it’s bin a loooong time since my last post here on my blog. My problem is still that I don’t know what this page should be about. I mean I post my city journals on XLnation.net, links to new videos on my youtube channel will be posted on twitter/ google+. So at the moment I just want to use this blog or page only as download portal or for other important things I’d like to say that do not fit anywhere else. But apparently nothing important have happened… well one thing has happened indeed: at november the fifth my youtube channel had one year anniversary.

Maybe it is a little to late to write about this here ^^ but I would like to keep this for the records, so this was the one year anniversary episode:

In this episode I took a look back to every game I had played, and the most important thing: I said thank you, thank you to you guys, my youtube subscribers and everyone who ever watched one of my videos. Your are great and you are the reason why I’m doing that. In the past year I’ve got a lot of support and nice comments, this is a great motivation for my to continue this. Thank you very much, I’m looking forward to another year of gaming with you 😉

All right, finally I think the most important changes are done. I added a Download section, and some nice, new fancy widgets to the side bars.

I updated the layout a bit as well, it is still simple but a bit more polished now in my opinion. I hope you like it 😉 Ok there are still some areas I’m not satisfied with, like the position of the search box or rss feed, but for the moment it is ok and I don’t know how to change this anyway  I have to figure out this, I think there is a way. I created this blog layout with a highly customizable theme: Atahualpa Which is a great theme, because it allows me to create my own blog design just with my very basic html, CSS code knowledge.

However beside this, there are just a few things left to do. The right menu still could need some love for example. And I have to go through all of my older posts, to rescale all the images. Because I imbedded them with a fix size and now they are too large for my new layout. So my plan is to replace them with the wordpress image gallery, which have a flexible size. So my images will be prepared for future layout changes. (like in this post)

May you ask yourself …or not because no one takes a look in here anyway ;)… what has happened to this blog? Why there are no new entires? Don’t you want to continue this? whats about your city journals?

Well these are good questions, I asked them to myself as well, because I have a problem with this blog… at the moment it has no value for me or you my youtube audience or readers of my city journals. I didn’t continued the journals here because, while I was planing to continue my work on NCC a couple of month ago, I came to the conclusion it’s a better idea to continue my journals close to the Cities XL community. So I started a NCC journal on XLnation.net and later for my other project ksp I started a mission report on the official Forum as well. In the end I just posted some messages like “hey guys, here is a new video or a new cj entry” on my blog but since a while I have twitter for things like this.

So finally no use for my blog??? No, I think there are still things I can do here and I don’t want to leave it behind. My plan is to write some more personal and general stuff here from time to time in the future. But before or next to it I have to update things here a bit. So my second plan is:

-to update wordpress

-to update the header image (something similar to my youtube channel)

-to clean up and add links in the menu right

-to add a download section

-to add a section for my WFC city journal

-to add a ksp section

A lot of work, thats why I write this here because now I have officially announced this and now I feel some pressure to do this ^^ But at first I have to find my ftp password 🙁

Update 1

Ok, spontaneous decision, I moved my blog to a new host. The past three years it was hosted on free web host, which was generally good enough in the past. During the last couple of days I noticed that my blog was very often not reachable, so I decided to move to a new, payed host. Now the next step will be a layout update.
