Yes, thank you all for your interest.
The idea behind my site is to expose young people to the fascinating and rewarding world of game programing and development. At the moment my industry contacts are minimal (16) but I plan to ask them questions about there job.
I also have plans for including tutorials that include software that doesn't cost the earth but can still Produce results to be proud about.
The website has three spaces to sell for web advertising and I was wondering what would be a reasonable price to start at. I do
Realize that it will depend on traffic, but I was thinking $5 each as this will easily cover my start up cost over a period of 12 months. I also intend
On including affiliates to buy games after a review.

$5 seems like a fair amount to start with, as you said, it all depends on the situation.

@Gabe,
Welcome to TBF! How did you find out about us? The blog sounds really interesting. And yes, being a developer, I think there are many opportunities in the game development industry. I myself wanted to be a game developer because I also played a lot of video games. Anything we can do to help?

Thank you,
It would be great to get some more contacts to interview or write about.
They don't even have to be "big" maybe just doing something new and original.

Who would be someone that would be ideal to interview? I actually have someone for you- look up SOCO Games and let me know if that is someone you would be interested in interviewing. If so, message me, and I'll set something up.
