Indie Retro News featured in Top 20 Retro Gaming Blogs 2019!
What a great start to Wednesday, as we were recently contacted by MrKortingscode in Admiration of Indie Retro News, that we have been voted in the Top 20 of Retro Gaming Blogs to follow in 2019. Yes indeed another award is under our belt, but as ever apart from all the retro games we feature from all over the world, the biggest part of that isn't just our writers but also you the reader who keeps coming back again and again! As the website owner kindly puts it " At indieretronews.com, you can find some of the most interesting discussions about retro stuff that will keep you hooked ".

Indie Retro News RSS Feed - Re-enabled!
Due to a number of emails and site comments relating to us taking down the RSS Feed as a security measure against article theft, I have re-enabled it. However unlike before which showed the full post, only the text up to the first line break will be shown to encourage people to still visit the site. If you don't remember our RSS Feed the link can be found ( Here ) :-)
26,964,623 Views - A new milestone for Indie Retro News!
Every so often I like to check the total view count to see how we are doing, and today I was overjoyed to see that we have hit a massive 26,964,623 in total views since we began over three years ago. That's over Twenty-Six Million views, which for an Indie and Retro website is pretty impressive and it's all thanks to you the reader and other friendly retro sites that keeps coming back and also spreading our news far and wide. In fact our site is actually global as we get readers from the USA, UK, Canada, China, Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, Australia, Greece and even Sweden, with a vast majority coming from the USA! So again all I can say is a massive thank you and also to spread the news, we are here and here to stay :)
Site down time - Important Message
Some of you may have visited the site earlier and ended up on a redirect message or a url not found issue. Just to let you the readers know that we will hopefully have a proper domain name up at some point without the blogspot part www.indieretronews.com however for the time being please use www.indieretronews.co.uk and if it works www.indieretronews.com as they are domain name owned redirections. So don't panic if the site goes down tonight, we are trying our very best to get the site at it's top form while giving you the reader up to date news.
Thanks

Indie Retro News Blog/Website Update! ( New comment system, Background )
As we have hit over 2200 views, I decided based on a few of our viewer Feedback's that the background needed to change as did a number of other small issues. Although I felt the old background image was in keeping with the system it made it incredibly busy and distracted the eye away from what was most important, the blogs themselves. I've gone for a more minimalistic approach but sticking with the retro theme, good ol' Pacman wakka wakka ;).
However not just that, the comment system has been done away with for an easy to use guest or register system. The previous one was way to chaotic and there is nothing worse when wanting to post a comment only to be told you have to register to this site or that site and it puts people off!. So again done away with, basically all it is now is press comments and type a comment it's that simple!. We would prefer you to register a name at least so we can get to know you personally but you don't have to, guests allowed.
We are still having teething problems here and there as is the case with any new website/blog but our reviews will improve, our site will grow( I hope )but although it's down to me to post the latest news, it's down to you the reader/viewer to keep coming back. Seeing that site hit counter increasing makes it more the worth while to know that the Retro/Nostalgia isn't dead, that people like what we do and you want us to continue.
