The transition between Blogger and Wordpress has not been without its casualities. My largely perfected Retro NES template has not survived the conversion on account of the heavy influence of PHP in Wordpress design. In Blogger, I was able to layout all my links and images in the simplicity of HTML. But, the Internet has evolved and become more functional since the birth of HTML, and dynamic scripting like PHP has become the norm. Unfortunately, I don’t understand a single line of code, so I’m struggling to create a Retro NES v.2 template. I’ve settled on reducing my efforts to a single sidebar, and I’m going to see if I can enlist the assistance of a dynamic picture changer to revive my “currently playing” game list (if such an act is even feasible). I will attempt a similar strategy to create a game watch list as well.

My link listing is also going to need to be reworked. I’m eliminating the forums section and a few other areas, maintaining Gaming News (minus a few links), Comics, and Swag. Otherwise, my sidebar content will be heavily reduced.

I’ve created a new banner, and I have a general colour scheme in mind. I need to hurriedly finish this template so that I can begin reconstructing the pile we call our homepage.
