Welcome…

by | Tuesday, January 01, 2008

…to my new website. It has taken a while, but it is finally here. Of course, as in all things web, this is still a work in progress, but it is getting there. I will be phasing out my old site gradually.

The most significant change has been a shift from static HTML pages into a site driven by WordPress. My old site was getting difficult to manage and keep up-to-date. I hope it will be easier this way. An important addition that WordPress provides me, of course, is this blog. I hope I can be consistent in writing to it. Let us see.

In the meanwhile I hope you will take a moment to click around and enjoy all the new (and hopefully good) stuff that is here.
