Search Ars Ludi

Added a search field. Don’t ask why this wasn’t there before. Sheer madness. But it’s there now, so search away.

Couldn’t you have just searched with Google? Yes, but if your search string was part of an article title every single post was returned because all the titles appear in the sidebar of every post. Oooh, messy.

Guide my GenCon

Say I was going to GenCon in a day or two (because I am). My current plan it to wander aimlessly through the mighty sea of gamers, but this shows a certain lack of strategy.

Where should I go? What should I do? What are the things I absolutely should not miss?

Gimme the scoop.

Shiny New Format

What the? Black text on a white background? Are your eyes deceiving you?

Have no fear. Ars Ludi has moved over to new blog software and I took the opportunity to flip to what I’m told is a more readable format. Because reading is fundamental.

Old comments haven’t been imported yet, so don’t be surprised that you don’t see them. On the plus side, one of the many benefits of the new software is that you can subscribe to the comments feed for the blog as a whole or just particular posts. How cool is that?

One Year Old

Ars Ludi is one year old today, and it demands cake and presents. It seems like only yesterday that I posted the first entry, Making the Party.

Comments Fixed

I just fixed the comments feature. My apologies if you tried to leave comments before and it didn't work.
