I've received a few emails as to where the name came from for the blog. If you haven't figured out by now, I'm not good at name, rather naming items creative, unique names. So I used my gamertag/PSNid as the source of my creativity and came up with TEP for the blog title. El33tPanda is my username on both PS3 and X360, so having a technology website with an off-shoot of that name seemed to make sense.
Posts located on this blog will be different and slightly random. Whatever I feel like writing about, I will write about, kind of like most blogs out there today. There is no schedule, so subscribe to my feed or check back often for new updates. Also, post will be in a format very similar to this one now; That is in first-person and very informal. Formal writing is a great skill to have and more power to the people who like writing like that, or to the news sites whose journalistic style surpasses my own. You, the reader, most likely will not see much formality on my blog. I might change it up, go crazy for a little bit, but I write like I write, so if you don't enjoy it, this might not be the blog for you. Opinions can be expressed in any form, and this is mine.
Recurring post types that appear throughout the blog are called sections and are updated frequently. Below is a list of all the sections and a brief description.
- VG Reviews - Video game reviews on a select few games.
Loose plans for visaul media are also being thrown around in my think-tank. Videos are another passion of mine (search Secret Agent Max on YouTube, watch me embarrass myself) and tailoring them for my own blog seems very doable and is a plan for the future.
Ads will be incorporated into the website, but the plan now is to have a few small ones located at the bottom of the site. This way, they are out of the way while reading the posts and are only there if you would like to support us. Donations are welcome. All the proceeds will go towards an (hopefully) eventual domain name and larger web server. After monthly/yearly expenses are paid, I will take half of what is left over and the other half will go towards a charity of the communities choosing. When I have a sizable amount, I will throw up a poll on the front page of the blog to determind which charity it shall go toward.
Here's where I'm going to throw in a little disclaimer. All the views and opinions expressed on The Elite Panda are mine alone, unless otherwise quoted from another source. If you see any flavor images or properties mentioned here, they do not belong to me, and if asked by the original creator, will be taken down. I, however, hold all rights to my own content and, unless I royally screw up, it will be kept up on the site. I'm not fluent in legal jargon, but that seems to cover all of the bases.
If you're a regular reader of the blog, thank you so very much for your support and encouragement. It really is rewarding to see how many people are reading and how much traffic I'm receiving. It motivates me on and I hope to provide the best content I can for you guys. If you're a new reader, welcome and I hope this page has given you a little insight into what this is all about. Thank you again for reading. TEP is very close to me, and I hope it becomes close to the community as well.
