Calendar Widget and Page Reorg (oh my!)

Calendar Widget Installed

I installed a new widget to show you puzzle events that are happening around the world. Any time I find out about a new puzzle event, I’ll add it to the calendar. You can find the calendar widget on the bottom of the right-hand column.

Page Layout Changed

I decided to clean up the layout of this blog a bit so that it makes somewhat more logical sense. All of the site natigation widgets (archives, categories, tags, pages, etc) are in the left column, while all of the other widgets are in the right column.

Puzzle News Widget Installed

I’ve installed a new widget here on Puzzlehead.org down in the lower left column of this page. It shows you a running feed of puzzle-related news stories (mostly – sometimes it hits the word “puzzle” in non-puzzle news). Enjoy!

All I Want for Christmas Is You (and the SSQQ Christmas Carol Puzzle)

Now that the boys are out of school and my own two-week winter vacation has started, I can return to my long-neglected but highly important care of this site. Enjoy it while you can!

In looking for some holiday themed puzzles to share, I came across the SSQQ Christmas Carol Puzzle. Once you get past being freaked out just a little bit by the 1990s-style layout of the web page, there’s really good stuff going on here.

The premise is simple: puzzle constructor Rick Archer offers you 12 different images with 10 panels each. Each panel that references a popular Christmas carol. For instance, here’s the first image (click on the image for a larger version):

So, which 10 Christmas songs do these represent? Click here to find out!

If you liked those puzzles, Rick has even more for you hidden away on his SSQQ Dance web site.

Happy Holidays everyone!
