Life after blogging!
That sounds a bit more dramatic than intended – while I miss the old blog, I thought my new workhorse for gaming presentation may be of interest to other bloggers. I recently closed my blog and instead use my own web space to discuss and share my gaming stuff.
This has required a slight re-design of the site, so that part of the functionality that I enjoyed at the blog can to some extent be replicated at the website. I hope the merging of two styles (blog and web page), even though resulting in an overall reduction of volume of reading material, actually produces something that is a little more immersive for the reader, even if they are only occasional visitors.
From a blogger perspective, I find the web site an easier space to organise, but it's size and scope is limited, even for this paid version. It is the virtually unlimited picture space and archiving capability of the blog that I miss most. Arguably it is less easy for people to 'follow' a website.
I have just put up an article on converting the game TANKS to hexes. Links to the file will be on the 'This week' page for 7 weeks before dropping off, as that tab has a 7 week cycle. It will also have a more permanent home on the article page under the 'hexing games' category. The 'this week' tab also has sub-information, so for example in the case of the tanks article, it also advises the reader that there is a work in progress at the 'Painting Table' page.
Anyway, please have a look and see what you think. Does it work for you? Any ideas or thoughts are gratefully received.
thanks Norm.

is after something that has presence, that actually looks like a small stand of tropical bushes, and is cheap, tough and portable.
