Did someone say MTGO Birthday Draft?  That's right, on the day I did this draft it was my birthday.  I turned older, but I gave myself a nice gift.  Follow along by hitting the link. (more...)

Hey, I've added some software to my site so that anyone can have an Avatar for their comment posts. It suports Gravatars (Globally Recognized Avatars). You can check out their site and the avatar you upload will follow you around to other Gravatar enabled sites. Gravatars draftbetter

Hey everybody,  I mentioned in my last draft that I would have an announcement before my next draft article went up.  So, here it is. I was contacted by the folks over at PureMTGO.com recently after they had linked my site in Hamtastic's most recent State of the Program article.  They asked if I could put my articles up on their site as well and they offered to pay me.  Now, apparently, they will pay anyone a small fee if their article gets published, so I'm not that special or anything.  But, they are looking for content and thought I would be a benefit to their site. Of course, after some discussion about the details, I agreed to the terms and happily, they have already published one of my articles.  The articles will appear a little different on their site, but the content will be mostly the same.  I will continue to host the images for them as their article submission system takes a little getting used to.  Plus, they will not have all of my content, just draft walkthroughs.  And from the looks of how often they will be publishing my articles, not even every draft walkthrough will make it onto their site. They have agreed to let me promote this site in the articles and let me tell you, it has helped.  I have increased my visitorship by quite a bit since my article went up on their site. To the new people from PureMTGO, welcome.  I have a few pages written that will answer some questions about my project and about my site, check them out:  FAQ, What you can Expect, Rules. To those of you who have been here all along, I will again say thank you for participating in the project and please continue to do so.  I will not be changing how this site works, only how I get my product for some drafts.  I'm not going to get rich off of this site, but it is costly to draft often if you don't win every draft.  Plus it is time consuming to manage a web site.  If I can at least reduce the costliness, I won't mind spending the time that I do (maybe my wife won't mind as much either). That's it for now.  Sound off in the comments if you like and look for another draft to go up some time soon. draftbetter
