About 4 years ago I started a plog on Warseer of my new interest in Historicals. However, Warseer has gone down for the second time this year and she may be down for the count. As I just completed a pike block for my main current project, an ECW Royalist force, I decide to start a proper blog on Blogger. As time allows I will upload pictures of "completed" projects (you know what I mean…) from past years such as my 11C Andalusians:
.. and my current ECW project:

Looking good, Codsticker! How are you finding Blogger? I'm using Googlesites for my blog at the moment, but I find it a bit of a problem at times, plus the fact that Google+ seems to be less and less user-friendly all the time… so I'm debating crossing over to a new host / platform / template thing. |

As a first time blogger, I found it quite easy. I think if you have the skills (which I don't) you can get quite a professional look from it; there seems to be quite a few options. |

Nice start and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Are you planning to use Warlord's Pike and Shot for your ECW gaming? |

Nice start and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Are you planning to use Warlord's Pike and Shot for your ECW gaming? We have played one game of Pike and Shotte. I would like to play more but one opponent who also likes the rules is hospitalised and my other opponent doesn't care for the rules. Jeff's report is here: link |

Good start to the blog. You may want to ad a "Followers" widget to enable people to follow your blog (get an automatic notification each time there is a new post). I am almost afraid to ask, but where did "Codsticker" come from? :-) |

A "followers" widget eh… sounds hi-tech. I will see what I can manage. Bit of an amusing story… I used to play 40K on regular basis in my buddy's basement and the local hot-shot marine player (very nice guy) always had a way of making those annoying game saving, against- the-odds rolls. After another one of these rolls, I said "You **** sucker!" rather too loudly. The next day my buddie's wife and junior were shopping and he wanted a candy bar and she said no. He yelled "You codsticker!". It turns out his bedroom was right above where we were playing. I thought it was pretty funny and I needed a handle for Portent (Warseer's forerunner), so I took it. True story. |

I can't seem to find a "Followers" gadget (as they call them on Blogger). |

I have added both a new post and a "Subscribe To" option for those interested. link |
