Tonight, I had the pleasure of looking after my six year old nephew. I had my laptop sitting on the ottoman, and the background was a picture of Aerith, from Final Fantasy 7. To my enjoyment he asked “who’s that?”. I started explaining to him, and he asked me all sorts of questions about the game! He was so interested I showed him some game play on the internet, and he asked me if I had the game. Of course, I do have FF7, and so I busted out the game that defined a generation!

Indenting Paragraphs – WordPress Tutorial
I was trying to find a WordPress Tutorial for indenting paragraphs, and found a lot of misleading information.
Indenting paragraphs? It seems a lot of people who are starting out with WordPress, are finding that this small task is not a very easy thing to do. Now, as I too, am new to using WordPress, it was the very first hurdle I had to jump, and started looking through the forums for an answer, or a tutorial.

WordPress – Why I Decided To Use It for My Blog
Ok, I know, last blog I said I would learn how to make a blog from scratch. So, why WordPress?

My First Blog Made From Scratch
My first blog made from scratch. It’s a far cry from being what you would probably think of as a “blog”, but hey It’s a start!
Of course I realize there are other ways of making a blog page, which are much easier. I just like learning how to do things from the beginning. So far this really is just a bunch of text, styled with css, and not really feature rich like most blog sites.
For example there is no comment section or any social media features, like sharing, or liking with facebook. Either way I plan to port all of my older posts from other sites to this page. In time I’ll have my blogs organized chronologically, and then work on adding other interfaces as well.
Cheers for now,

Back to The Blog
I’m back! Haven’t blogged in a while, and just wanted to post what I’ve been up to. Since our pong clone I’ve made two more games! I also changed the name of “pong” to “paddles”, just to be safe in the legal department.
Wrapping Things Up
Mmmm… Shepherd’s Pie!! I know, you probably don’t want to hear about what I’m chewing as I write this blog but damn. I LOVE me some Shepherd’s Pie! Anyway, back to our game. Last time we left off with a list of bugs that needed to be fixed and some features to add/change. That list looked like this:
