When I say nasty, I am talking seriously nasty.  I will not go into the gory details, but suffice it to say that I could not manage to make it into the office today.  As long as I was stuck at home, I decided to do something useful with the site, so I implemented the Fancy URLs feature.  Many of you are saying, \u201cBig deal, and WTF is that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google (and other search engine spiders) does not like to go through CG\u2019s standard URLs that have all sorts of question marks and the like.  So now instead of<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/index.php?catid=2&blogid=1<\/p>\n<p>you get <\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/category\/2\/blogid\/1<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026 all thanks to the nifty Fancy URLs feature.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe someone will be impressed, then again \u2026<\/p>\n<p>On an entirely different note, after looking through a lot of my older games, I have become a little sentimental.  I have been trying to decide what should stay, and what should go.  One of the unfortunate side affects of me closing the door on CG and reopening as a blog, was a lot of lost data.  100+ reviews, plenty of editorials, virtual sports write-ups, and a whole host of other junk lost in one shift of change in site philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few days (maybe weeks) I am contemplating bringing back the CG\u2019s previous content in an archive format; something along the lines of Calvert Games Classic.  I am biased, but there was a lot of good content that some gamers may actually find useful, or dare I say entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>For those that are interested, I will keep you posted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a nasty stomach flu bug.
