Welcome to the new home of Jeff’s Arcade, formerly jmphillips.net. Besides a fancy new domain name, I’ve switched content management platforms. The old site used Joomla while the new site will make exclusive use of Wordpress.

I have grown extremely fond of Joomla over the years, but found it to be too complex for a simple website like mine. I will continue to develop sites in Joomla, but think that Wordpress and many of its social networking features are a better fit for the content of this site.

All of the articles from the old site has been transferred over, and jmphillips.net now automatically forwards all traffic to jeffsarcade.net. I still need to re-code many of the image links as they still point to the old site, but they work so I can take my time with that part of the transition. To help with the loading times of the site, most images for a post will not appear until you click the “read more” link.

I’m not sold on the theme I’m currently using so the look and feel of the site may change over the next few days as I experiment with different themes and then begin to customize them. If you have a link to jmphillips.net on your website, you will probably want to update it to jeffsarcade.net. I have submitted the new site to the appropriate search engines, but It will take some time before it’s indexed.

The focus of the site will remain the same, to provide you with information about my arcade restorations and hopefully in the near future to chronical the building of my small basement gameroom.
