Butmac | 11:26 AM on 10.19.2007 65 comments


This is part 1 of 2 very helpful videos for people visiting Destructoid and are curious on how to start up a blog and add elements that will make them standout to everyone! You generally see these at the top of most blogs or forums so you may want to bookmark to reference later!




Also, here is the link to the video if you want to give me some street cred ratings on youtube.

Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Butmac continues to shatter my universes with his 3D face thing. Epic win!
tehdopefish's Destructoid Blog
@DJDuffy



Are you sure it's tommy tallarico you are thinking of? I don't see the similarity.

That's some really sound advice, I'll take it to heart.

EWWWW KNIVES is Ranked JELLO
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Butmac I disagree with Tip 3. If I see someone spam the clogs with 5 in a row, it pushes others away, and pisses off the community. It's not fail safe.


This video was epic and needs to be a standard for Destructoid.

ARE YOU READING THIS NIERO???
Butmac's Destructoid Blog
Also,

I just picked these tips in order of which I did them. I have 5 more minutes worth and as much as I hate to split things into "parts" a 10 minute video would be brutal.

I'll have part 2 next week which should have been in this one.
-D-'s Destructoid Blog
Snaileb's sarcasm detector is at the shop.
BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
Your humor is right up my alley Butmac. Thanks for the Cartel shoutout.
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
That was amazing. What kind of tips do you have on trolling?
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Bold prediction: you win Destructoid Network: This week's finest 10/21/07.

But what about including as many 4chan memes based on misspelling and viral video phenomena as possible? How will these cats know that you grok all their lingo if you don't "Rickrole" them with "maor" pedobares?
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
F*ck I'm retarded.

Don't mind me. I'm so heavily (legally) medicated I can't believe I'm at work. <3 Butmac
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
"...it's hot button. Very hot, very hot button. Just fighting ... and words."

classic...
Butmac's Destructoid Blog
<3 Snailz

@MaxVest: I can't tell you which part of your comment you have correctly predicted for Part 2 of this video but you are spot on with one of my tips. Grats :)
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Snaileb, you medicated alots!
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Its a nessisity <--- (did I just break tip 2?)

Last time I awoke with cuban police around me scream some weird language at me. I think they wanted me to let the puppy go.

Long story.
Joe Burling's Destructoid Blog
I'm commenting so I can track this cblog down later and watch it from home (where I can actually watch youtube vids).
Gameboi's Destructoid Blog
You had me at the Green Lantern shirt...
Necros's Destructoid Blog
New York Times raves "A stunning piece of power and beauty!"

I give it two thumbs up your ass. One Butmac to rule them all...
Variable Gear's Destructoid Blog
"Just fighting...and words"

Thanks for the tips, butmac! I'm going to the c-blogs to post some more Okami Wii news.
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
@Butmac: Whoops, didn't intend to spoil. I forgot about the 2-part format. No, I was predicting an end of the week win for you. Good video editing, humor, delivery -- you nailed it.
wardrox's Destructoid Blog
