Writing Freeform Larps now has a website

Writing Freeform Larps has a website! writingfreeformlarps.larps.org.uk

The owner of the larp.org.uk domain offered to host any larp-based website as a subdomain from it. He already does this with Gods and Monsters and Cyberpunk, which are both laser-tag sites built using Blogger.

As I use Blogger for this site, I thought it might be a good idea to create a mini-site just for Writing Freeform Larps.

Using Blogger to build a mini-site

I find Blogger much easier than Wordpress to build a website. It has far fewer features, no plugins and everything seems much more straightforward.

I'm sure Wordpress is more sophisticated, secure and flexible. But for a small mini-site dedicated to a particular project, it’s fine.

Why a mini-site?

I decided I wanted a separate site for Writing Freeform Larps because it’s not always clear what I am talking about when I say “freeform larp”. So this gives me a public-facing page to explain what a freeform is, along with links to a few examples and photographs.

I also explained the process I use for writing a freeform, hopefully providing just enough information to whet the appetite of an interested visitor.

I also moved a few posts from this blog over to the new site. I had several posts discussing suggestions and ideas for a second edition, so they are now there.

Going forward, I’m not sure yet how I will manage the split of information between here and Writing Freeform Larps. I expect I will write it in one place and link to it from the other.

Other mini-sites

And having done this once, I’m wondering about creating mini-sites for Other London and for The Harvesters, my series of first-contact larps. But if I don’t want …blogspot.com as my website address, I may have to look into learning how domains work. Ugh.
