As the site continues to grow, we continue to see the amount of great write ups increase that you all provide over on the Community Blogs. Anyone and everyone is welcome to write a blog. The good ones will get fapped and highlighted on the weekly Community Highlights feature. The best blogs will get promoted to the front page. The point of blogging is to put yourself out there and we do our best to make sure you get noticed by all on Destructoid when you deserve it.
I took a break from recapping last months promoted blogs (read: forgot) so here we are with a double feature of everything that was promoted since September. Nearly 50 blogs, both Monthly Musing and general awesomenss were promoted.
For September’s Monthly Musing theme, we wanted to hear about old games that you think people needed to be made aware of again. We also saw a handful of other blogs promoted including ScottyG’s epic PAX community mosaic project.
October’s Monthly Musing theme was “Nothing is sacred” and we wanted to hear about standard design concepts that are overdone to death. October also saw other non-Musing write ups such as Scary Womanizing Pig Mask’s huge examination of Giygas from Earthbound. Plus, there were a couple of art blogs that got promoted such as SiK99’s Mr. Destructoid in LEGO form.
Hit the break for the full breakdown of promoted blogs.
