Through the contributed efforts of the administration, we have put together a blog of sorts for the community. You can find the link below at blog.doujinstyle.com which will contain news updates on happenings in DoujinStyle as well as information pertaining to Doujin works and Touhou. While we will be working to keep the blog updated from time to time since it is going to be our way of communicating with the entire community in an easier-to-read format, we would also like to provide news of new releases for different Doujin works and the Touhou series. Because of this, we need the help of the community to provide the information and to help us keep things up to date.

The blog is still a work in progress and we are going to be working on the look and feel in order to improve the experience for our users. If you guys have any ideas on how to improve the blog, let us know. If you have an interesting idea for a topic for the blog, also let us know. We also take guest articles if anyone is interested and if there is a topic you would like to let everyone know about.

The blog is written by the moderators and administrators of DoujinStyle.com along with the collective effort of our users.

When it has a lot of content later, how about making the blog as the main site, Karu? (I mean, http://www.doujinstyle.com/ redirects to the blog instead to the forum).

I'm sure it will be useful like the old site does =D (That was how i found this place, anyways)

We're lazy people, we'd have to do redirects and would have to make sure everything works if we did that. ;/

Do you need blog writers for this, or is it going to be updated by the admins?
Edit: Ok, I checked the blog. isn't there a way to make it easier to contribute?
like some trusted DS members that can acces it trough some kind of log-in.
And maybe a new group on the forums of people that regularly contribute?
This way they get credit too and not only on the post they did.

We can certainly create users who could post their stories and have a moderator accept or deny it. I'll set that up soon and have applications for people to contribute, which will probably be based on a combination of active posts on DS and the join date. Essentially looking for stable contributors.

Might I recommend linking the blog on the title bar of the forum? Next to Members, Calender, etc.

Sure, as soon as I figure it out.

Anyway, I like the fact that the blog will cover highlights of what happened in Doujinstyle so it won't be forgotten.

Yeah, it'll be a good way to be able to look back upon events that have happened and to be able to easily link to things.

Can we also post stuff about new anime episodes and such?
For example: You have blog contributers, one (or more) for games, one (or more) for anime and so on.

In order for us to consider expanding, I want to first see how the concept plays out as it is, therefore I want to focus on Touhou and Doujin works before we start experimenting with adding Anime and other things to the blog. We can include them later as other areas of interest, but for now we are mainly looking for these types of content in order to make the blog relevant to what we do here.

I understand that, when will you be accepting entries? I'd love to contribute, eventhough Doujin isn't really my subject.
But I sure want to try.

I'll do some research when I have some time, at the moment I'm too tired to do so.

Is it somehow possible to integrate my own blog into this? Since it does cover part Tawhaw, part games and part other stuff.

Technically it is possible.

Whether or not we'll go ahead and do that... that's a matter of question that we've gotta discuss about.

And if we're integrating stuff, it'd have to be either Karusune, Kradorex or myself doing the integrating technical-wise.

Personally, I'd say probably not. It's far easier to copy-pasta the posts and the like, though.
