[Archived] BRFC Blogs

[Glenn]

It's that time of year when lots of people fancy starting a BRFC related blog, quite often covering their travels watching Rovers but sometimes just their thoughts on the games.

In the past we used to offer free hosting of these blogs on here as getting blogs up, running and secure was hard work, but with the advent of wordpress.com and similar services, with no longer saw the need, so let the feature drift away.

However, after talking to a few people over the summer, we're about to relaunch them as whilst these third party sites make it easy to post new blogs, it seems that getting people to actually read what you've written is TOUGH. After seeing just how little traffic, feedback and engagement some of the Rovers blogs with excellent content were getting, we realised that we still have something to offer the other places don't. Eyeballs!

People often assume the majority of people who visit this site are the same people who post on the forum, but the posters are actually a tiny percentage. We average just under 6000 uniques visitors (not visits, actually unqiue visitors) each week and we can make sure each and everyone one of those gets promotion of your blog posts.

Oh and advances in the forum software has now made it super easy to make blog posts, it's literally just like making a forum post, but with a handful of additional options. Also, comments on your posts are optional, if you don't want people commenting on them, you can disable that.

If anyone fancies it or simply wants more info, just email [email protected] or leave a comment here

As always, a great gesture.

I love reading these blogs, it would also be great if someone could do a fanzine too, with lot's of humour too, there is certainly space for one within our supporter base
