[game_preservation] IGDA Game Preservation blog/news/frontpage now online

[Andrew Armstrong]

Hey all,

I've now updated the preservation's blog 
<http://www.igda.org/preservation/archives/2007/09/igda_game_perse.html>! 
This will hopefully be the first of many posts to it.

The blog will primarily record all the IGDA preservation SIG's news and 
related project news (the stuff I was adding to the IGDA wiki), but I 
hope to add anything from external sources, such as the new videos at 
the Internet Archive, or really any other items of interest from a game 
history perspective.

So please email me if you want to have anything posted, or have any 
content, or ideas for content (if you really are willing, you can become 
a blog editor to post yourself).

I will eventually get around to finding news and posting when I can, 
then hopefully get around to (text) interviews with people - those 
working on the videogames, and those who are working to preserve them 
and the history (you can email me if you want to be interviewed, I think 
knowing who is working on videogame preservation is a good idea, since 
no one else would record who the historians were :) ).

I don't know of really any other videogame history news/blogs, so I 
don't have much to model this on, and I'll see how it goes. (Of course, 
if anyone does know of any I'd love to know). At the moment the blog 
will stay as it is presentation-wise, since I don't know anything about 
Moveable Type and don't think it can be replaced with something more 
user-friendly easily (such as Wordpress), so if you notice any errors, 
please tell me or Henry so they can be corrected, and if anyone has a 
better colour scheme for the site, it'd be worthwhile passing it on.

Andrew
