We're doing a quest day here in SSD!

Where: At Meadow park in San Luis Obispo (it's off of south street)
Why: Well, we sorta sat down and thought, you know what would be neat? It would be neat to have a quest. And invite all our friends. Yeah. Or something like that.
How: Um, with foam swords, maybe some armor, a bit of garb...you know, the usual.

I'll fill in more details as I get them, such as the title of the quest and such. Just wanted to let peoples know the date in advance.

As most of our long-term members (and many of our short-term members) will be aware, our old website, hosted by Cal Poly, is, and long has been, essentially useless.  Finally, in an act of desperation, our long-running Prime Minister, Griffin, sat down and designed a site.

Then, he designed it again, using Blosxom to fuel the news on the main page.  While that was neat for a cheap-and-easy solution (Blosxom will probably see use elsewhere on the site - stay tuned), it wasn't nearly good enough.  Instead, he (he being the person writing this entry in the third person, namely Griffin, also known as "me") decided to upgrade to Movable Type, to allow the rest of the monarchy to make news posts easily.

So, here we are, on the third major revision of the website since April 1st, and, as a result, the third version of this news post.  Enjoy!

There will be an Althing held this weekend to determine, among other things, whether we should be promoted to Barony. I know how I'm voting - hopefully we'll be upgraded on Monday!
