Comments on: Crawley Games Day http://cheyne.net/blog/2004/09/crawley-games-day/ A minimalist blog, with a pretentious title, about strategy games.

If you need any help with the install, just look me up in the phone book. :) The only thing that can take a while is playing with the stylesheet to make it look right. Luckily, the WordPress wiki points to several stylesheets you can import and use instead. If time is scarcer than money, why not check out TypePad instead? They do the whole thing for you.

Just have to persuade the missus first. Web Mania looks pretty good and awfully cheap. If they hadn't been around since 1995, I'd think they were just in it for the short-term. Michael - regarding the Bitz Quiz, I enjoy doing them and the answer to your question is ... pretty soon. Garry Iain

I’m going to have to set aside a weekend and jump right in and do something. Just have to persuade the missus first. Web Mania looks pretty good and awfully cheap. If they hadn’t been around since 1995, I’d think they were just in it for the short-term.

Not that I'm any good at them, but they're very enjoyable. Michael Garry – I too like your site but what I really want to know is when are you going to do another Bitz quiz.

If you are savvy enough to handle Tricky Light, you can install WordPress. You just need to be able to use an FTP client. I am about to transfer to http://www.web-mania.com. To change the domain, I am pretty sure you only need to get in touch with your domain registrar and change two settings. If you need any help, please email me. I want to go to Essen too much.

I'd much rather play F-T-F, but the StP game is nice for the occasional experiment, particularly as a game takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Blog format for my website is something that looks very appealing but I've dithered so far because: 1. I want to keep the Trickylight domain running and I'm not sure how much technical know-how is involved in integrating a third-party hosted blog into my own site; and 2. I would like to move away from Wanadoo hosting the site, as part of my broadband connection package to something that is a bit more flexible, but am uncertain on the best way to proceed. You'll gather that I'm not the most technically-savvy gamer on the planet so I'm currently doing what is comfortable. RSS feeds sound great but it's overcoming that knowledge-acquisition hurdle (with limited time available) that's stopping me in my tracks. By the way, I meant to mention in my last post, if you've never been to Essen, you've got to find some way of getting there one year. This fair will be my 6th time and it's always great but the first visit you make is inevitably the best. Garry Iain
