What's Next For the Site?

Recently I've been experimenting with a lot of different types of posting from different authors and aliases. The direction of the blog kind of jumped from just being a place to throw my sporadic gamedev and technology articles that would come out every month or so while I was more focused on making software into: "I will publish anything that someone wants to write for the site."

After asking people to consider contributing, it occurred to me that the best way I could make this look appealing was to write about other people on the Internet everyday. After all, what better way to make the site seem open to different kinds of articles than to feature different kinds of sites and people. I think that went really well. I'm not ashamed to admit that A True Story of Dead Internet is one of the best articles on the site and I didn't write it. I would love it if more people wanted to write as many quality posts here as that.

However, writing everyday to upkeep the appearance of a site that covers a wide range of topics and has many different writers where anything could happen is taking a lot out of me! Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed it, but I have software that's waiting for me to get back to writing it.

This isn't the end but we might be slowing down for a while. Submissions are always open of course.

Do You Want to Guest Post an Article for Goeshard.Org?

It's been a while since I've done a meta post. Most of the time when I write, it's to nerd out over whatever programming project I'm working on. For the past year that's been just a lot of gamedev posts. But when I first imagined goeshard.org, this place was intended to be a hub of art, music, programming, and other DIY web projects.

I know when a lot of people set out to make an independent website their mentality is very much, "Welcome to my personal space!" That wasn't really the goal for this site. I wanted goeshard.org to be a celebration of various things across the web in general, but as working on games is very time consuming work, it's what I spend the majority of my free time thinking about. It's naturally what ends up being the primary content of the site.

Having more guest writers could be the element that elevates goeshard.org to coming closer to what I imagined and covering more topics.
