The featured image is courtesy of Desolation Sound looking amazing as usual. The choice there was which channel to go down in hopes of finding some better visibility… This blog isn’t mired (ha!) in the same circumstances, but there are always choices to make.

First, let’s look at intent:

Okay, so this blog is meeting all of its goals:

• I’m happy with its forcing function (I’m actually finishing projects and more disciplined into my approach to the boxes of unbuilt/unpainted miniatures);
• I’m connecting (albeit slowly) with the wider gaming community; and most importantly
• I’m having fun.

So all in all, I’m quite pleased.

Second, what would be the reason for change:

One thing I’ve noticed is that there seems to be less of a crossover of people who play (historical) wargames with those who play RPGs than I might have thought. I’m hoping to expand the readership of this blog and so I’m thinking of making some changes to the display of the posts. I’m also looking at putting a section for house rules up as well, with a PDF of what we’re using here in our small group.

Third, how would the change be implemented:

There are really three options here:

1. Divide the wargaming and RPG posts. I would do that by putting up a static homepage up on the blog, with instructions to go to the already present RPG/WW2 links to head to the latest post. This would mean that those interested in only one or the other wouldn’t be bothered with waiting or clicking past. The static page could even be a monthly post on living on this island in the Pacific Northwest.
2. I can make one type of post “sticky” based on my preference at the time and have that post always be the top of the page.
3. Of course, I could also leave things as they are.

Feedback:

Does anyone have any thoughts or preferences on this?

Note that I’ve slowly been learning the Bluehost/Wordpress management, and have finally added some options for linking in profiles when commenting. I’m hoping to make this site a bit more user friendly as we go forward.
