But, I lacked some technical skills and tools to actually accomplish that at the time.
So, I got another friend to handle the biggest technical hurdle (hey Busters Uncle!), and I’ve been fumbling around the new tools on the computer here to get it to work.
So, I finally can get myself a Tshirt. And, if I understand the mechanics properly, you should be able to as well. Click the customize button and you can add stuff to the shirt, move the pics around, or even remove something if you feel the need.
Bare with me here. You might have noticed we’re going through a few growing pains. However, this is all going to be a good thing in the end, once I figure out how to edit up this stuff properly. You might notice, this is now a right and true .com. No more blogspot. As such, I am free to add some additional pages and sections that I’ve always wanted to. So, look for new things coming soon in the future.
Most things converted over just great, however, my whole sidebar of links and stuff did not, so if you don’t see yourself over there anymore, just give me a little while to rebuild that.
Well…the winds blowin’, and SNOW is on the way this evening, if the weathermen are correct.
That pretty much curtails any plans I had of making headway on the project. More wind and rain expected Friday and Saturday, and we’re swiftly approaching an entire week lost. Gonna have to do something about that.
But, for now, as I batten down the hatches, figured I’ld do a little cleanup around here.
Got the Bob Tutorial linked to properly in the how-to section, and have done a little cleanup of the other links as well.
Sorting through some emails (only 1018…little behind), I see a lot of folks asking just what the heck IS this Charr thing.
Hmmm….how does one answer that? Maybe this will help:
To the Charr, flame is the physical representation of their gods. In order to keep the gods happy, they must first fulfill their obligation to the flame. To that end, the Charr have constructed a series of sacred buildings known as Flame Temples. On raised platforms, these bestial creatures have inscribed huge circular runes, which define and magically feed the sacred fires. Further defining the ring are pillars of pure obsidian or carved sandstone, sculpted to depict the faces of the mysterious creatures the Charr worship. Between these pillars, in the very center of each of these temples, are the ever-burning Sacred Flames. The Charr believe that as long as the flames are burning, the gods are pleased. If the flames go out, then the Charr have failed in their duties and will be punished by the gods.
In addition to the temples, whenever a large Charr warband travels anywhere, they take with them a bronze brazier, lit at a Flame Temple by the Sacred Flame. These braziers are placed upon palanquins, which are then carried from location to location by four Charr Flame Carriers. Each night when they make camp, the Flame Carriers erect a flammable effigy in the shape of one of their gods, then ignite it and let it burn till daylight.
