Overview
Blogs at TWC are housed within the Content Management System (aka CMS). While TWC is a fan site for Total War games, its community is big enough to host some passionate and productive bloggers. Whether they are writing about games, life, traveling, sport or whatnot, if you are interested in knowing what they have to tell you, please head directly to the TWC Blogging Hub.
If you wish to know how to join the glorious ranks of the CMS Bloggers, please refer to the CMS Blogging Thread; remember to read and follow the special rules for the CMS Blogs. They are also posted in the Terms of Service here. Importantly, user blogs cannot be about politics or religion except by special approval from a member of the Hexagon Council. The site does not wish to host problematic or controversial blogs which will cause issue for the site, and use/request for use of the system is an agreement to respect this guideline. Use is offered, moderated by and if necessary revoked by the site's administrators. More contentious topics may be blogged at the old TWC Member Blogs subforum (link below), which is approached and moderated as normal by the site's Moderation Staff.
Every blogger has the right to a spotlight on this page to promote their published work. If you would like to be added, please use the CMS Blogging Thread to request a section.
