Welcome to the new site!

I am happy to present my new site layout.  The template is courtesy of Andreas Viklund, who was nice enough to post this template on open source web design.  The backend is still run by Expression Engine.  Far from a mere redesign, the organization of the information on this blog has changed as well.  Entries are split into summary and extended versions (more in line with classic blog organization), the forum has been re-themed, comments have a new look, I have a new image gallery up, I’ve retooled the Star Trek freighter section, and changed the categories.

The RSS has been upgraded to ATOM, and the podcast feed is working now. The site checks out as valid CSS, and I believe the new design is much cleaner.  I am, of course, very interested in what you think. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts.

Thank you Aaron!

Nice to have you back.  I’ve quite a bit more work to do, so please feel free to stop by and let me know what you think.

Mr. MacKenty I was hoping that you could help me out. I think you posted a link (I could be wrong) to a research article out of the U.K. that studied the demographics of people who play video games. Do you have that link handy? I keep ixquicking and googling but I get nothing close.

Thanks,
Aaron Ball

Hey Aaron!

I have that study, and I’ll try to get it uploaded today.

Redesigning the site is a lot more work than I thought!

My priority is to get the Games in Edcuation section back online - of which the study you refer to is a critical part.

Thanks for your comments, and please let me know if there’s anything you think might look / work a little better.
