Hehe :D first blog!

So I've reached 8 LR threads in total for TL:
GSTL 2012 Grand Finals: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=325876
IPL4 Day 1: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=326607
IPL4 Day 2: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=326997
IPL4 Championship Sunday: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=327341

Now, this isn't as much as many other LR'ers on this site (ie Seeker of late, MrCon, etc of old) but I am starting to get the hang of things :D
I kinda developed my own layout/style which you can probably tell has evolved over time. I try to keep the things that people are most interested in near the top (ie stream link, the matchup, results) and less important things near the end (ratings, polls, hype, etc). I also try to keep aware to not clutter things too much, since people with lower resolution monitors might need to scroll a lot (which I personally am not a fan of - it's so much more convenient to just load a page and see what you need without scrolling down.
It's a tad different from, say, Seeker's style, but this is just my own taste =]

LR'ing is not easy - I find that it detracts a bit of my enjoyment when watching the games since I need to be on top of making polls and updating results. When it's loser's pick maps, that's also a bit more work. But the reason I do it is because I can, and it's cool to give back to the community where I can to repay for many hours of entertainment that I've gotten haha. I also live in a convenient time zone for GSL - it's prime time AEST pretty much.

It's also sad that whenever I LR'd, MKP hasn't been on top of his game either (ie GSTL controversy, falling out of IPL4, falling out of his Code S group haha), but I hope that's coincidence

I would love any feedback on my threads - what to add, change, etc!

The Live Report Threads and LR-ing is what makes tournaments so great to follow Live, compared to just watching VoDs. Many props to you and the others who take the time and effort to make and maintain these threads! It's a pity that there's so much terrible posting in them however.

As a possible improvement for the future, perhaps when it comes to the really big matches (such as Finals), perhaps include Fan Interviews for some more hype in the thread. The recent Brood War SPL Grand Finals has a good example of how it can add value to a Finals Thread.
It's like, "Is the Federation's Mobile Suit some kind of monster?"
