    PlaidStallions is moving! (slowly)


    So, after 14 years, we've decided to upgrade PlaidStallions and move both the site and the blog here.

    I plan to convert the entire site to WordPress, that's 15 years of work to re-do, so yeah, it's not gonna happen straight away.


    We're still posting every day, making podcasts and of course, videos on our YouTube Channel.

    Here are some handy links to keep in touch.

    Plaid Stallions Twitter Account


    Plaid Stallions Instagram


    Brick Mantooth YouTube Channel


    You can also subscribe to the Toy-Ventures Mailing list here and be kept abreast of upcoming issues. Thanks, everyone for so many years of success here on Blogger, see you on the new site.

      I'm confiused by this--is the move a question of economy, "one-stop-shopping" so to speak, traffic, tech management, what?
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

        Well, the main problem is the site is stuck in 2005 era html hell and needs to be brought up to be mobile and tablet friendlier. I always did want the blog to be the front of the site as well, I just never had the gumption.

        There is no monetary reason to do this, PS was always a passion project but you know, I'm proud of all my work and would like it to look nice.

          I can appreciate that, though I don't access it by those methods. I'm barely up to 2005 lol.

              Wordpress has so many options and plugins and such, I'm sure you'll be able to tailor it to fit exactly what you are envisioning.

              I've helped some businesses with Wordpress sites several times over the years and have always liked it.

                Not up on any new stuff at all.

                Imagine it's 2001-ish (when I joined the Museum)

                Will I still be able to access PS ?

                Hope so because i'm in love with the site

                  I hope to convert all of it over to the new site, it's not going anywhere.

                    Boy do I know those feels.
                    I keep thinking about updating my site (or at least the Prehistoric Scenes section)
                    But it is so much work.
                    Maybe next year.
