Hurley's World

I've spent some time over the last week and a half updating the site. Since I needed to upgrade the version of the content management system anyway, I decided to give it a whole new look. Let me know what you think.

One really nice thing about the new version is that the search feature actually works. I'm still playing around with everything, but I will do my best not to break it.

I added six more games to my website:

Digby's Donuts
Join Digby as he opens a chain of donut shops in major cities across the country!

Five Card Deluxe
If you like solitaire or poker then you'll love Five Card Deluxe! Place cards from the deck onto the table to form poker hands and score points.

Flip Words
The first letter of each word you make will be revealed in the phrase you're trying to solve. Guess the phrase and get a bonus!

Lucky Streak Poker
Casino style video poker with a fun twist: Lucky Streaks that improve your odds!

Puzzle Express
Grab the colorful puzzle pieces and place them together to fill up the train cars. The more you fill up the car, the more of the picture you get to see.

Trivia Machine
Climb to the top of the ladder by answering fun questions from the trivia machine.

Over the past few weeks, I worked on a new default site look for the site. The old look seemed a bit washed out for my tastes. I hope the new color choices and use of color to delineate blocks will make the site more vibrant and easier to use. Over the next few weeks, I hope to make additonal changes to make the site easier to use. Also keep a look out for site tips. And, as always, if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Feel free to leave a comment or email me at tracy.hurley[at]hurleyit.com.

One new feature is the share links both in the right navigation menu and below each story.

In celebration of my birthday, I've added a new game to the line up, Jewel Miner. A continuation of the Gold Miner family, this game involves the Gold Miner's niece, Julie, in her very own matching game. Enjoy!

For some reason, I could not get the installed search engine to work correctly with my site. Since I've been adding a bunch of information to the site and not all of it is displayed on the front page, I thought I would add the Google Search form to my site. It can be found at the top of the right hand navigation column. If you want to search this site, be sure to choose the tracy.hurleyit.com radio button. I hope you find it useful.
