<p>Since sophomore year, i ran a blog because i wanted to share ideas; it was based on the popular MMORPG Guild Wars 2; (It did make me a little side-cash)</p>
<p>Since then, (I am now in my junior year), i have left that blog because Guild Wars 2 has become less of a thing and i stopped liking it very much. and am going to create a general Video Game Community-based blogsite.</p>
<p>I am planning to keep this up through my junior/Senior year, and am expecting successes from it</p>
<p>Is this something to put onto my College Application? Will the topic of video games hinder or make the college admission officers see my blog in a different aspect (possibly negatively?), then,say, if my blog revolved around technology?
....</p>
<p>I basically started blogging because i liked video-games and i wanted to share my Ideas...</p>
<p>Does the blog highlight any other quality of yours other than your passion for gaming? As in, through it do we learn anything important or new about you?</p>
<p>Is the blog well designed? Does it have lots of intricate coding? Do you want to study computers or graphic designing or something? Basically, what I’m saying is, for a non-gamer will this site have any other merits? </p>
<p>If yes, to any of the questions, then think how effective is it? I know a bunch of people who have linked their blogs on their application - it’s a great (space-efficient) way to let the admissions people know more about you. But you are trying to SELL yourself. Make sure what you put on your application is relevant and helpful. If it’s just meaningless information that they could have lived without knowing, or is of little consequence you’re better off not putting it there.</p>
<p>Do things that you love to do and are interested first. Sounds like you want to do this and enjoy it. Then list them on the application if it makes sense at the time you apply.</p>
<p>I want to major in Computer Science-
I do not, however, want to do very much game-design related;I find the job-market for it not very welcoming, and overall game-design does not interest me as much as other Comp Sci areas do.</p>
<p>the blog is based in Joomla and is well-designed, and tested for/by readers in a collab.
It has a strong community ect… </p>
<p>It’s got an About page on me and my blog, but other than Game news/opinion-articles/general journalism that’s about it </p>
<p>Since this is beginning junior year, and the blog isn’t totally set in-foundation, I can still start a new blog with something more Comp-Sci oriented, although I question that my expertise in the area would genuinely help others looking for answers. I would be able to sell the old one, and meet new success with the new one by the end of junior year, and even more-so into my senior year. </p>
<p>Though a tech-blog on gadgets/new advances in the gadget/comp sci space would not be totally out of my league.</p>
<p>bumppppp sorry i am bumping so much, but i want my questions answered and i see that there are 350 views+no answers, so i guess other people want to know too?</p>
<p>how would you link your blog to the commonapp.?
I mean, where would you write down the url? and would the admission officers be able to follow the url? if it’s not something as easy as google.com but more like aowiejfoiawjefoiajweiofj.com/awefj/awfi?</p>
<p>The app is submitted electronically as a pdf and hyperlinks seem to work, so adcoms should be able to click through from the app on any links you provide.</p>
