LaunchPad: Starting Your Own Video Game Website

Starting a video game website

Early last year we planned to put together a series about starting your own website devoted to video games. Well, our timing fell through, things got busy, and we had to put it aside… Until now. We have a full slate of things lined up, and hope that this series will help you plan your own endeavors. We’re kicking it off again by pointing you over to this first article we began with, asking “why” you’d like to create a website in the first place, and some of the pitfalls you can expect.

Nothing is perfect, though, and you’re going to hit times that make you want to second-guess yourself, and maybe even pushing you to give up.
