Hey guys, its been a long time since i've posted here. but i always come back form time to time catch up on things. I've recently started a newsletter which is being circulated to various communites and to subscribers of my website blog. I hope to offer this every 2 weeks for mc community to be able to find some cool stuff going on in the MC community as a whole. im am not meaning for this to come across as spamm or advertisement. since this is done completey free by me as well to support great map, mod ,plugin and server owners that are out there. This is my first post here with these. i aplogize if its in the wrong place. I would like to if possible continue posting these here for the MC commuity to catch up on Mc related things.

So I've just taken a rough stab at improving your post (and probably still missed a lot). Not to be mean or anything but if you're intending on this newsletter being posted to other communites while advertising your own with it I suggest you at least fix the punctuation and typos.
Your link at the bottom of the newsletter is also broken but I didn't bother fixing that.

If you want to be taken seriously, not to sound rude or anything. You need to at least have a paid website, not that enjin subdomain stuff.

It doesn't cost that much either, iirc enjin premium was like $5/m and a good domain is ~$10/yr depending on the tld you want.

thanks for the feedback


Hey guys,

I really appericate the feedback. However, we established a good base on the enjin network. It allows us to easily manage aspects of the website without needing to hire a web desiginer at the moment.

but, it is def something on the table once we can get some income to hire someone.

I have a web designer in mind too. He's very good.
The key thing, is I don't want anyting to be automated.
I have staff that review and verify all information before it is submitted. meaning, people cant vote a server up or down or lists. they cant ad a mod or map, and NOT have the information that you would like to know.

I set it up to present all the info to you in an easy to read and find format

These reviews newsletters are only gonna get better.
Im now incorparting youtube videos into the ones I send out to my subscribers. I don't think im able to do that here so much, but the conent is def. going to get better as we improve the system.

Im also searching for and working with youtubers who have great personalites to try and create better content for these reviews. So, theres a lot of plans in the works.
Its just gonna take time to get there.

we now have our own OFFICAL website.

We've finally went and gotten an official website to try
and cleanup the navigation menus mainly.

www.theminecraftreivew.com

Its primarly links back to our enjin site.
Namely, it just cleanups the menus and allows people to find what there looking for better.

Its something we plan to continue to improve upon.
Namely, the ENJIN site is for the community to talk and get together to plan, lets plays, server adventures.. or events...or whatever.

Our new site is for helping to Showcase: maps, mods, plugins, youtubers, servers... websites.. pretty much
anything Minecraft relted that we feel is WORTH your time to check out.
