Convincing DeviantArt to Recognize Miniature Artis
I don't write many journals here, because most of what I want to say, I do so on my website: http://www.wargamingtradecraft.com/

Site Redesign and Google+
Just wanted to make note that I've done some redesigning of my site, http://www.wargamingtradecraft.com which cleans up the layout some and offers better Facebook meshing. (Though still fleshing a few things out.)
I've integrated the comments and the site with Google+ and I'm going to try to be more active on the + side.
As always, I exist on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/WargamingTradecraft
If you want to follow on G+, the site is https://plus.google.com/+WargamingTradecraft0/
You can also find my personal G+ profile at https://plus.google.com/+DaveGarbe/posts
Now for public consumption!
I've been working on it for a few weeks now.. and here it is - N++ the Blog!
http://nplusplus.blogspot.com
Lately I've been expanding my techniques and reading all the great stuff other people are doing, and I want to give back to this community that is part of something I'm passionate about. The blog will be dedicated to the tradecraft of wargaming. It'll be focusing on tools, techniques, tutorials and so on. There will be a range of tips from just the basics for beginners to the more advanced.
