Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog, so I’ll try to make it a bit more frequent.

These last few days have been pretty eventful! The Games Master Challenge began this week, and TNC’s coverage was one of the first on the web, and we’re one of the only major sites to be posting the daily challenges in the news, in addition to our coverage section. Apparently, that got us pretty far up in Google, and our visitor count skyrocketed, increasing over 300%! We’ve had over 75 users in the chatbox, and two new sponsored links have been purchased!

We had some server problems Wednesday but it seems to be fine now, and everything is running smoothly! I’ve added TNC to two topsites:

And FINALLY added our own Topsites, at topsites.theneocafe.com. If you own a Neopets website, this could increase your traffic significantly, and make you look better to other websites in affiliate applications.I hope this traffic continues, and content and features will continue to be added to keep bringing you the best TNC possible!

So, being inspired by Kym over at PPT, I’ve decided to finally create the TNC Blog along with all the other things I’ve been adding, changing and fixing lately. What have I done, you ask? Here’s a list, in chronological order:

• Added tons of content to TNC that was supposed to be added way long ago
• Added the gaming index to the TNC homepage
• Redesigned the news boxes on TNC to make them much nicer, the old ones were just a quick 30 second thing, and they looked REALLY bad.
• Reorganized all the game tips and cheats to consolidate them into single pages for each game. It’s much more organized now!
• Sorted out the topics so things didn’t display twice
• Reorganized EVERYTHING about navigating TNC. Now everything is even easier to find than before!
• Added back the polls
• Added back the useful tools
• Added the extended shoutbox
• Added the Staff Listing
• Added the blog!

That’s it so far! It’s been a very busy week! I’ve got some cool ideas in the pipeline, but we’ll see if I post them up here. Keep checking in!
