If I were you I would start writing on Medium. I've heard great things about it and it allows you to focus on content and let them make it pretty. Once you've done that for I bit, upgrade to wordpress and make it completely yours. We can add Discussion via Hubski through a plugin on Wordpress so you can have all the greatest Hubski comments directly on your blog. The only downside with starting on Wordpress is the startup time. You want to go through themes, customize stuff, figure out workflow, etc. In my opinion, it isn't worth it to go through that until you get in the rhythm and find joy in blogging first. So many people drop out after their first couple months (I'm looking at you JTHipster!)
To be fair to myself, and man this is my first Hubski anything in a long time, I stopped doing movie reviews because I was 1. Moving to Ohio (it's terrible here, fuck the Midwest) and 2. Still working on that damnable tabletop RPG. Which I think is turning out great. I was going to do a review of Ender's Game, then I realized that I really didn't want to do movie reviews anymore. I think part of it is moving away. Most of my friends are still back on the East Coast, and my situation has me in a bit of a funk. There's not much I'll be able to say about a film right now.
Hope things get better for you in the midwest. Saw you a few times around reddit (mostly in the 'reality TV' subreddits, i.e. TiA and SRD). Would love to hear about your experiences designing a tabletop RPG sometime.
You know you can hang out on Hubski without writing reviews..right? Why did you move to Ohio?
I'm already working on something beautiful. I'll post the site very soon! All I'm wondering about the plugin is whether it means that every blog I post will be posted to hubski automatically? Seems a bit spammy to me. Yeah that's my current fear indeed. But I'll be damned if I didn't give it a try.We can add Discussion via Hubski through a plugin on Wordpress so you can have all the greatest Hubski comments directly on your blog.

Read this: http://hubski.com/pub?id=100957 The comments only show up if you post it to Hubski as well. You can see an example of how it might look here. Here's one with his existing comment section (disqus) + DvH: link jaggs is Red Ferret and also the one who was so kind to have the plugin made. He only posts some of his posts to Hubski, so other posts just look like this Other uses of DvH include theadvancedapes _refugee_ lil. I'm sure they can answer any questions you may have. You can see a feed here. mk we recently added another blog to the list, correct? We should update hubdvhSeems a bit spammy to me.
veen, congrats on this ambitious and exciting step! I look forward to reading what comes of it. I think DvH would be a great fit. You can PM me with any questions etc. Best of luck with Veen Space!
