Moving on to a Website

I am thinking of moving on to a website. Blogging on google is about the same as learning MS Word where the learning curve is not too steep. I had been trying to learn html by switching from text mode to html mode while writing my blog but that won’t do. I need switch to a webpage to force myself to learn more html skills and be able to design a webpage.

Website Content

I am not an expert in gambling and most certainly do not have the ability to come up with an impressive multipage website on gambling. I came to the gambling circle here on google because I intend to do my post graduate studies on problematic gambling behavior, so my content will remain the same. It may seem a bit weird but I will be blogging on a webpage.

Studying problematic gambler is challenge to me because this group feels nobody can understand them unless they are gamblers themselves. Counselors, who are not gamblers, will never provide effective help. I will endeavor to put some framework as a starting point to understand these people because they have the potential to chalk up very costly damages and in the process mess up the lives of their loves ones.

Content Scarcity

I guess the need to move on had something to with the difficulty to find materials on problematic gambling behavior. It had to be confined to reported cases in most situations. With the news on gambling toning down, I get to feel a sense of idleness and that urges me to upgrade my skills. If I run into another material scarcity period again, I would most likely find a new topic. Write about girlie stuff like beauty tips or love and romance. Well, that is another story.

  1. Moving on for personal development is good. I like to recommend you my tutor. It gives you enough to get started and nothing more. You can go on to html goodies for your next stop. HTML Goodies is for beginners too but have a more comprehensive coverage. After that just look for specific topic on the search engine.

  2. Moving on for personal development is good but maintain your blog. Use it as a platform to moderate comments and publish your new webpages. Since you also confine comments to those with a google accounts, google may take some action on those who get too much spam complains.

    Check this out for new content. Compare baccarat and fan-tan. Both games are addictive. If you analyze why baccarat is more addictive to overtake fan-tan in popularity today, you will get some idea of addictive nature of casino game to write about.
