Gaming with Librarians: Creating Community Sites

// June 21st, 2010 // Library Gaming

I wanted to setup a small corporation homepage for the gaming group involved in Gaming with Librarians and speficially wanted to use it as an opportunity to see what the state of free site or hosting set-ups were. It really seems like WordPress are the only folks out there who are doing something useful.

I started by trying to setup a site under Google, hoping to take advantage of things like Google Docs and other things to coordinate the group and ease play. The sites and google apps section are geared mostly toward business and pay customers and in the end I just thought the features offered for publish use were a big old fail. So I took a trip on over to WordPress, registered a new ID for the Eve Corp and got a small site up and running in about an hour.

Thus the Archival Quality LLC site was born, not bad at all for about an hours work graphic included.

Another big benefit I see from going with wordpress is that not only can you choose from several reasonable themes but by default they supply you with a mobile skin for the site. I fired it up on my iPhone today it was fantastic. So with a minimum of effort I have a corp site complete with mobile integration. We have come a long way in just a few short years as a profession.
