Game Maker announced it’s decision on the new logo today. ewwwwwwwwwww….
Nov 28th
The new logo is HIDEOUS! How could they have possibly thought that this was OK? here, if you want to see the blog post for yourself, see here:

It’s looks like the smiley face is INSANE. Not to seem like a troll or anything, but I USE GameMaker. I Do NOT want this, this, thing on my desktop. For comparison, my logo submission wasn’t much better, but it was reasonably good…
My Logo submission
At least this was BETTER than their choice. C’mon, make a choice, mine or theirs?
Site Moved from blog.appsonroids.com to appsonroids.com
Nov 26th
I’ve moved the site from the old subdomain to the main domain, added a redirect, and caused it to become a real website, instead of just a blog. The only thing that is really affected by this change besides the site itself (which is set up to redirect anyway) is the RSS feeds. Simply switch your RSS from blog.appsonroids.com/rssurlextensionhere to appsonroids.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
This should change it. You will still get RSS from the old one, but it’ll only give you changes to the home page, which isn’t very useful!
Made my first app!
Nov 22nd
Yes, you read that right. But don’t get too excited, as it was simply my Hello World application. Still… It was a milestone for me, so I’ll tout it. Perhaps you’ll see some REAL progress soon.
This marks the beginning of a new age! (not really, but I’m excited)
Also, on a kind of side note, I am officially getting the Motorola Droid soon. Oh, what a time!
P.S. You might notice the large amount of tags — That’s a result of an auto-tagging plugin I installed. Nifty tool. Good to help make just about every word a tag. 
Thoughts about the website…
Nov 22nd
I’m thinking about turning this blog into the main website. I’ve seen this done several times, and, let’s face it, I can’t do HTML for my life. I might set it up separately, or I could redirect you guys to the main website while I’m working on it. It’s not going to happen anytime soon, but I just thought that I’d let you know that I’m seriously considering it.
If you’re interested, the basic layout would use the pages buttons that run along the top below the header, and Blog would be one of them. I would have the one you land on called Home, which would include some links to important parts of the site, as well as some highlights. I would have an About section, an Apps section, a Blog section, and maybe some others. Then I would have a hopefully nicely designed site.
If this sounds like a terrible, horrible, idea to you, leave me a comment about it. I need to rack up my keywords for search engines anyway.
Static toolbar added
Nov 20th
If you’re reading this on the website (and if you aren’t, do), then you probably notice this bar-thing along the bottom. No, this isn’t an ad. This is a new part of the website! If you want to share it on a social network, either hit the button that says Share This! On the bottom of each post, or hit the share button in the toolbar.
Enjoy!
Ads Added to Website
Nov 18th
I just added an add (Whoops, typo) to the website. If you find it annoying, I can remove it. However, I’d like to experiment and see how it works. It doesn’t seem too bad, but just leave a comment and let me know how YOU feel about it.
Site Updates
Nov 17th
Yup. I changed to using an iframe embed instead of plain text pages. I also added pictures that I have made (well more art, but you get the idea).
Enjoy
Back up!
Nov 17th
I got it back up. I just had to replace my index.php with the old one (2.8.5’s version)
This is good.
I should be fixing the rest of the blog shortly.
P.S. – I’ve made a few additions to the website, namely Google Analytics. Hopefully working soon.
