Tip of the Week

I've noticed a variety of GameSpotters posting editorial blogs about E3 this week. I'd like to post something about what you all have to say every Fridays. The community content I am looking for is as follows.

Blogs: If you have an editorial style blog, just make sure you flag your blog with the editorial category in the drop down menu before posting. This gives me easy access to find your blog. If your blog is not what would be considered an editorial send me a private message with the subject title 'E3 community coverage' and provide the link to your blog.

Videos/Images: If you plan to attend E3 this year, be sure to upload your pictures and videos on the site. After uploading the content send me a PM with the subject title 'E3 community coverage' and be sure to provide any links of images or videos you would like to share with everyone.

Forum Threads: These can be anywhere on the site, even in some user created boards and Unions. You'll definitely want to send me the links to interesting topics worth mentioning.

I also plan to have a 'remember when E3..' section about previous expos. You are more than welcome to send me a link to previous E3 pictures, blogs or videos for consideration.

Stop by this Friday for our first GameSpot community E3 coverage report!

    Worked just fine more me. But it'd be nicer if the screenshots in the survey were thumbnails that could be expanded. That way we could do a better side-by-side preview of the changes.

    4 attempts at taking the survey, tried both original and C_rake's links- I can see the survey for about 1 nanosecond, then I get the dreaded "Error on Page" white screen of death...Can anyone assist?
