Just some minor fixes.
I set up this poll as the rumors were hot and the rumored release date just around the corner. They’ve been out for a week’ish so it’s time to shut down the poll. The results were:
After months of preparing for it it’s almost sad to see it go. My FLGS, Crossroad Games, hosted its first ever annual large 40K tournament on Saturday. It was a 30 person event with three rounds using soft scores, which is uncommon for us. Our monthly events are straight battle points but this new annual event we wanted to create a more friendly and hobby oriented event. Many of us spent the past four months getting ready for it. Tables had to be built, more terrain created, old tables and terrain repaired, etc. It’s been a long road but the payoff was well worth it.
As I’m elbow deep in writing some tips for increasing the speed of your site I’m wondering if any of you have any questions or tips you’d like to see me cover in the future?
On Wednesday I got to face off against the new Necrons. I brought my 1,850 Marine list I’m using for this Saturday’s tournament. No offense to my opponent, who I know reads my blog, but there’s not a ton to report from the game itself. I threw Terminators with an attached Librarian and Cassius at him, ate some Warriors and a Lord, then got stuck into a damn near endless combat by a counter-charge from Oberon (I spell that right?), and Lychguard. With both our assault units tied up I just went about shooting the hell out of him and when the game ended on turn 7 he was tabled.
So far the blogging tips have covered some basics with images and then some more technical stuff with compression. This time we’ll dial it back a bit and do some more basic stuff that anyone can do regardless of your choice of blogging platform.
Love them or hate them most of us bloggers who are paying for our blog, be it web hosting or some other financial investment regarding our site, at some point consider putting ads on our site. This is no less than the third time I’ve given this a shot. The first time only a few of you knew about the blog and so it never panned out. The second time was relatively recently and it honestly didn’t work out too badly but I was, I guess, morally annoyed by putting ads up. This time, we’ll see I guess. The big difference this time is I’m not using Google Adsense, I’m trying out Project Wonderful. I plan to do a review of the service in time as it promises to be a much better platform for a niche blog about 40K.
The first part of the article was pretty simple stuff and something every site can utilize. This part is going to get more technical but will also be where you may see the biggest impact so hang in with me here.
Here’s some stuff that’s been adjusted since pushing out v1.9.
I didn’t manage to get this up last week so this week I’m including the previous week’s finds.
The other day I was messing around with my blog and decided to see how large of a footprint it was. What I mean by that is every site has a footprint, which is to say how large the site is in terms of kilobytes or megabytes. All the images on your site, the text, etc, all adds up and is then delivered to the people visiting your site. Obviously the more text you have and the more images you have the larger your site is. There are other factors we’ll get into later. Thus begins another article on blogging tips.
After another night of working on terrain as we prepare for The Standish Standoff, I got in a practice game for the event. Last week I also got in a practice game but I decided to completely overhaul my list. My previous list was more assault oriented, utilizing Fate Lord Monthu (aka: Shrike), and the list I brought last night was a much more balanced list. As with last week I’m not giving out my list. I’d hate for all the players at my FLGS to decide to build lists to counter mine ;)
I’ve been working on Command Center pretty consistently lately and that’s because I’m trying to program in some of the features I’ve always wanted to incorporate into it and once you start it’s hard to stop. So, the latest updates:
Short and sweet post today. I’ve gone through and completely overhauled the look of Command Center.
My FLGS is hosting a large 30-person tournament on Nov. 12th called The Standish Standoff. In short it’s a more hobby oriented tournament where our monthly ones are not. As such, I’m working out some lists for my Space Marines that capitalize on what I have painted to avoid the last-minute rush of needing to get things done. Tournaments are a motivator for painting but at the same time I don’t want to do rush jobs on my army either.
I’ve added in a few new options for Command Center.
How often do you paint?
