Welcome To Your New Website

17-Jan-2008 Tom introduces you to the all-new site

64 Comments

Welcome to our all-new website! Bit smarter than the last one isn't it? So this new ONM blog is just one of the exciting new features on the site. You'll be able to read a new one of these every day from a member of the ONM team. Have a poke around and you'll see Fred talking about his Super Mario Galaxy journey, Chris discussing WiiWare and Martin getting all fanboyish and looking forward to all the more obscure games of 2008.

Before you do that (and after you've read this of course) it would be great if you could register on the forum. If we're honest, the last website was a bit basic but if there's one thing we're really proud of it's the forum. Starting from scratch nearly two years ago, it went from zero to nearly 20,000 members and I don't know of a bigger Nintendo community on the internet. Now we've moved the forum over here and it would be brilliant to see all of you re-registering and recreating the brilliant community we had at the last place. It'll be easy. All you have to do is register with us - it only takes a minute.

Once you've done that you'll be able to get involved in the site. So not only will you be able to post on the forum, but you can give your comments on any article, including news, reviews, previews and of course these blogs. So if you think I'm talking rubbish here you can say so. I hope you don't!

Anyway, back to the new site. While the last one just had one scrolling box of news, this one has proper sections so it will be much easier to find a review or check out screenshots of your favourite games. There's a review section which will be updated every week with our reviews of the week's releases. This is great because not only is it an archive of reviews from ONM but you'll also be able to read reviews of games that arrived in the office after the magazine's deadline.

It's all about getting more from your magazine. So when you read a preview in the magazine you'll be able to go to our new video player and see the game in action. Or, when there's an interview with a developer in the mag, you'll occasionally be able to read an unedited version online. Of course we'll still be spoiling our magazine readers with exciting exclusives that you'll only be able to read within the hallowed pages of ONM, but if you want a bit extra you should come here. Every day!

The great thing about having a new website is that we can keep you updated on the latest happenings in the world of gaming so we'll be breaking games news as it happens. Thanks to the new technology powering this site it means that we'll be able to post more new stories every day of the week at any time.

So that's enough from me. Now it's over to you! What do you think of the new website? What are your favourite bits? Is there anything you'd like to see on the site? Any feedback is welcome so comment below.

I've got to say guys, you really have pulled it off and made it worth the wait. The amount of content we have access to now compared with what we had on the ol' bare bones website is phenomenal. This site has so much scope and I just know that you'll run with it. Can't wait to see what you've got in store in the coming weeks.

Wow! You've done an amazing job here, guys. I think everyone will agree it's so much of an improvement over the slightly stripped-down site of old, especially now the speed's been ironed out too. You've really pulled it off with style, makes me proud to be an ONMer. :)
