My Pirate-y Blog thingy.

I thought it was about time I got in on this blogging craze. 

Nothing terribly exciting so far (it's only been up a day, after all), but I hope to update it with all sorts of things (not just LOTHS, but that's the main focus for now).

I have modified the original template, as I noticed that the style template i'd chosen appears to be incredibly popular with wargaming bloggers - it's like we've claimed it as our own!

Looks good so far! I'll be watching you closely... 

[Galman]

Very nice indeed so far!  You have a style that resembles Capt. Bloods', and this is never bad!

The blog looks splendid, and the figures look very tidy too.

Jolly good!

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'd wanted to change the style to something more pirate-ish, but couldn't figure out how to do it at first, but after seeing nearly every other 18th century wargaming blog using the same template i'd chosen, I worked it out and replaced the background with the current one (which is an image from a fansite kit for the video game East India Company )

At the moment, updates are when I can, but i'll try to work out a more regular schedule.

Nice wrok on the blog mate, I will be following your work since LotHS is a bit of a passion for me. Keep up the great work...

Thanks for the link on the footer of your first post but it doesn't work - it has some extra characters that you'll need to delete:

http://%22http//astorspirates.blogspot.com%22

Also, a lot of LAFers with websites, blogs etc have a link via the 'globe' symbol in the user name box to the left of their posts.  If you set this up on your forum profile then there'll be a blog link from every post you make (whereas the footer link only appears on your first post on a page).

Hope this all makes sense and is helpful.

D'oh! Thanks for pointing that out, Silent Invader. I really should have checked it out after adding it. 

And i've added those details to my profile as well.

A greay start  I've just added it in with my favourites

Indeed!  This is a fantastic start to what appears to be a great blog!  I will be following it as well. 

I really like your marines and officers.  You have a really nice painting style, and the troops look great.  I think you will need some nasty pirates or privateers to chase, mate.

YARRR!
