At last, the Firestorm Productions website enters a new age of… erm… newness! Yes! As you can see, the not-hyped-at-all renovation of the website has been put online. The construction process is partly why there have been so few updates lately, although there was at least one other reason for that (which I’ll explain later).

This brave new world of Wordpress is brimming with features which I’ll probably never use - but some of them were actually worth the effort…

• The site doesn’t have to rely on a bulky forum just to display news items
• It’s easier and tidier for visitors to post comments and view content through RSS
• I can maintain and update stuff in half the time it took before
• Adding pointless bullet lists is easier than ever
• Oh yes, and it can still do smilies!

I’m hoping that the speed of the site will be smoother, if not necessarily faster, due to another change in web hosts; the old one appeared to be overselling quite badly, and when I tried this Wordpress installation, page load times frequently were above the 10 second mark. More than long enough to drive away the scant few visitors Firestorm gets…

Anyhow, enjoy the new look. Sorry about the lack of content right now… there was only so much I could prepare offline, so expect the game pages to look a bit out of place until I can fit them into the new layout. That aside, I hope you have a pleasant browsing experience!
