I'm having a baby!

By which I mean, I’m inheriting a website and I’m pretty excited.

It is the Guernsey Chess Club Website and yes, it is old AF. The URL was registered in 1997 and I think it’s reasonable to assume that the site has undergone minimal work since, which in a way I actually love - it is a relic of sorts.

I’ve recently been inspired by a certain cathédrale, and relics can be burned, so sadly I’m not sure how long the site will last in its current iteration under my stewardship. I have grand designs on a rebuild, but porting some of the features (that are all pure custom build with no framework, I believe in Classic ASP) into a modern CMS is probably going to be a not insignificant challenge. I’m hoping that it will be an enjoyable one though, and the chess club has given me a lot over the past 12 or so years that I have been attending, so I am excited at the prospect of being able to give something back.
