Update #1: Site, Forums, and Blogs! Oh my!

Welcome back to the blog! 

This is going to be update one on the new blog and I have a few things to talk about. Here's a quick little synopsis of what we're talking about; arenchronicles.com, the forums at forum.arenchronicles.com, and this blog. Now that the synopsis is done, let's get this circus underway!

These aren't going to be done in any particular order.

THE BLOG!

My thoughts for the blog are fairly simple. I want to set up a schedule on when I post and I would like to do at least three times a week; Monday, Wednesday, and Friday hopefully, for now. One of these days will probably be used to move stuff from WordPress to over here, I'm thinking Wednesday cause of the W. This will be until I get everything I want moved over from it then I might drop down to two days if I can't think of another idea to replace.

Schedule will hopefully look like this:

Monday: A new update post either about the sites or progress on stories. (Except this coming Monday Feb. 12th.)

Wednesday: WordPress transfers.

Friday: Featured post of some kind or just an extra update.

THE SITES!

Right now, I've gotten everything fixed for "ArenChronicles.com" as a domain. Blogger is connected to that domain name and now so are the forums. Everything is set up to be a "______.arenchronicles.com" which to me is very exciting and I finally feel like my pages are coming together better. I had to do some contacting between Google Domain and ProBoards Support. Google had nothing it could do on it's side but ProBoards took care of it quickly and got it up and running. I've updated the front page of arenchronicles.com with an accurate welcome section since then. 

THE FORUM!

I'm extremely excited to announce that I now have: "forum.arenchronicles.com" under my domain. I've been working on setting up pretty much all day today. Between working on colors and trying to add plugins; it's been a long day. I think I finally got it how I want it to look for now.

I'm setting up the forum to have an online roleplaying section because it's something I did for a long time and where I grew my passion for writing. I'll be inviting my friends back if they are interested in joining. The Last Arena Continuation section is wholly for them to play their characters from the old days. These sections are still a work in progress and I'll be working on them for a while probably.

The What Ifs section is going to be a place for some of my trusted writers to share their own stories using characters from the stories. Just to come up with situations they may or may not have gotten to do or continue. Also, allowing them to use their characters in their old capacity without any push back from me since it won't interfere with my stories at all. 

More news in the future but that is it for now!
