It was pretty painless– even though I made a foolish mistake, it didn’t slow things down at all. So far, this seems like a great platform.

An unfortunate side effect is that the themes (affecting how it looks) haven’t caught up to the new version– hopefully, I’ll find a good one soon.

Here’s a ton of links that I found interesting at the time– some are still quite intersting. Combing through was also a good chance to update my RPG Styles page.

(It’s amazing how many links are already broken. I’ve eliminated all of them that I found.)

Some links from the last few days, to be organized, etc.

Updated to convert links to hypertext– the plaintext was annoying me.

Tons of old links to various threads, rpgs, etc. It’s all raw… but better than cramming it in a text folder on my hard drive. (Insert whistling here…)
