I had to put the text into my WORD doc, set it to 12 (font size). Re-post it to the blog. Set the text to Normal size, and that shrunk things down.

rabidbite - great start! We will have to determine how to try to make the different stories accessible as well. Perhaps we can create a page that is an index (by game, and by characters). I will look into it. Excited start. Next up, Trese Brother game ads

rabidbite Cerebus is way too long to post as 1 post. You should break it up some. Sent from my Nexus 7 using proboards

rabidbite Cerebus is way too long to post as 1 post. You should break it up some. I just noticed Mr. Bob posted it. Who is that? Sent from my Nexus 7 using proboards It is a hell of a long post. I just don't know how else to post it. I'd have to do 30 posts to put Cerberus in by 'chapter'. I'm also very inexperienced with blog posts, still writing, and working a full time job. There is a time factor for me as well as a skill factor. But the story, or so I'm told, is pretty cool ....  rabid |

It might make it more manageable. Of course everything I suggest is with the best intention. Sent from my Galaxy S4 |

Another suggestion. Maybe you guys are already doing this but... I didn't look... Blogger doesn't have many options to sort posts or group them together other than labels. Labels work just like they do in gmail. Particularly with fan fiction I think each post should be labeled with the name of the story and the name of the author and the name of the game they correspond to perhaps.
The thing about labels for them to work properly is they need to be applied consistently. So you need to decide up front the format of common labels like game names. Will the label be "AoP" "aop" or "Age of Pirates" this will be how people will be able to find and follow their favorite authors, stories etc.

paxdad - great suggestion! I have added the following labels to the Cerberus story: "Cyber Knights, by Rabidbite, Cerberus" Feel free to change them but I think we should use: 1. Full game name (without RPG or Elite) - better for search 2. by <author or artist> 3. Main characters (especially useful for recurring characters) Already getting some traffic!

That cerberus post looks lonely. How about some fan art? Or some of Paxdad's or Blackgauntlet's work? Pokey ... pokey ... |

Pulled a double shift today. Came back and thought to do just that but I would have to add a galllery or something. And all I can locate is a button to post a new article.

dayan - the blog isn't set up for a gallery, its just a stream of posts ... if you label each post as "art" then we should be able to set something up or add a widget that will help. I posted one of the KickStarter stories to get us past the first post.
