New coat of paint...

Hello all! Nice to see you again! (Figuratively of course as not like I can see you through the screen... *checks webcam to make sure its off*)

Well as you can see, the blog has gone through a better retrofit of sorts in that the template is much more bearable to look at. Plus, if you look under the header, it has tabs! Well sort of, more like simple search buttons that search for a specific writer's post by filtering it down. So if you have a favourite Pleasantry (is that what we are going to call them?) then by all means, click their name and enjoy their posts over the rest as did mean the whole fighting to the death thing.

Which moves me on to my next point, yes, this blog will have multiple writers as managed to get a couple of my fellow academics who want to give this a shot. They will slowly be added as things progress in terms of getting this blog stable as all prefer to have it in a decent shape before start posting things left, right and centre. So far, there will be about six fellow Pleasantry's (yep, certainly going to become the thing we are called) so will likely have either make a post about themselves or one big, special joint post to celebrate the birth of this little team.

Our main aims will be to do articles on... what we like really. So might be reviews on games, films and comics to thoughts on issues in such worlds like the remaster culture in games or paid exclusivity deals. Also, if any world cinema buffs intended to read this, one of our writers is aficionado of sorts in this area so might produce some articles on that subject. Will let you know if he can put the wine down for a second (oh trust me, he does drink wine and can speak some French so prefect guy for that section). We will also intended to move onto platforms as podcasts, audio pieces and even video down the line but just want to get some standard written pieces up first and under our belt. Then we will whip out the non-existent budget and see what we can do as already have some ideas such as 'A Pleasant Chat' and 'Keeping Pleasant Company' as possible names for video discussions and podcasts.

All in all, think that is mostly it. Just to let people know we do have some motivation to try and make this something to help our writing skills and possibly, have people enjoy our stuff as always a bonus if you few readers enjoy our future stuff. We will also try to improve the blog how and when we can, so it won't always look like this (unless it works, then don't fix what ain't broken) or be so inefficient.

So thank you all for your time and hope you all have the most pleasant day.
