Over the last month I been trying to think of ways to get more community envelopment on Blood of Kittens as well as promote other bloggers and writers. Often blogs have a simple blog roll that they use to promote other blogs they follow. Well Blood of Kittens never wants to do things other blogs do, so Blood of Kittens has come up with an idea/experiment to get people reading other peoples stuff.
So here how it goes being that I know quite a few other bloggers read this site I feel it is time to help. The idea is this. If you have a post on your blog that you think didn’t get the love it deserved, you want to expand your audience, or promote a cause– let Blood of Kittens know! Blood of Kittens will copy and paste the article give you the proper acknowledgment and links. This is not much different from me promoting something I read over the Internet and share. The difference is that Blood of Kittens does not have to like it. The power is in your hands. As long as it is not totally profanity laced or dumb, I do not care what you want to promote. If you are Stelek loving zombie or a Bell of Lost Souls disciple any voice is welcome.
Also if you want to write something special for Blood of Kittens I will not stop you. Hell if it is done creatively you can bash the hell out of this site– Blood of Kittens doesn’t care. Also if you want to spam articles at Blood of Kittens that is fine too just keep them good. Of course this is an experiment, but Blood of Kittens hope is that together we can show the many different voices that fill the 40k blogging universe.
Email or comment to let Blood of Kittens know what you think.

I have another article in the works to hopefully top the over-the-top awesomeness that was Strictly Plasticard.
(tongue in cheek – don't send me hate mail, oh masses!)
Great idea Tasty! May as well balance your normal topics with building the community, two thumbs up!

After I read though your appraisal of 1500 points 40K games I was ready to offer submissions and things but the problem is you really drag down the overall quality of the blog by falling into the regular trap suffered by many blogs that don't have enough to say – namely; whining about other people/sites.
Yes Stelek is a prat, yes all 5 of his fanboys are retards. You don't really need to keep posting self-indulgent disassembly of their brain farts, anyone with 3 braincells to rub together can see its rubbish for themselves… the guided tour of stupidland is not needed and as satisfying as it is (trust me I know) to shout at morons it doesn't make you look very good…
:-/
Just send me an email when ready.
I always have plenty to say I just happen to have a full time job, S.O., gaming and friends.
As to quality while I would normally agree with you I often have to remind people that the only reason Blood of Kittens ever got noticed was because of the rants and drama. It still is what drives traffic and comments. The day posting about 40k Art breaks 100 comments is the last day you ever see me mention Stelek hehe
I also come from a political and video game background when it comes to blogs and commenting. So that makes me raised in debate and calling people out for being asshats. As long as you are somewhat engaging about that sort of things I do not think it is really too bad. I am also writing for myself and fun I get from if this was a business than I would do things differently that is for sure.
If you have any suggestions always feel free to email I take most things into consideration.
Ideas are only as good as the people that support them. Let me hope it works hehe!
You could always promote my blog…. http://chaosgerbil.wordpress.com/
Yeah post more often bitch hehe!
I'll let you know if I come up with anything worth promoting.
I'll email you soon, about this and getting together up at EG for some games!
Yeah! Where's the bat rep of our game!?
Speaking of which, we should schedule another game!
please do!
Hey I would like to promote a Podcast called ” Life after the cover save ” Its ver entertaining and I think many people would like it if they had a chance to listen. You can get it on itunes or here http://www.lifeafterthecoversave.wordpress.com any feedback would be great.
This is an awesome idea. I’m a fan.
