The back garden

The back garden

We've had snow and horrible cold weather recently, but at least it's pretty!

Why the new blog?

I've had a web presence since the late 90's, and have had a blog since 2001. I started on the old blogspot, before buying my own domain and hosting, and migrating to Moveable Type. I used this for a few years, but left when they screwed up the beta testing of version 3 and switched to Expression Engine.

I still have this installed, and use it for several blogs, both of my own and other folks.

But 7 years of blogging carries a lot of baggage. I've done a lot, changed a lot. Got new friends, new interests, new relationships. I'm also a lot busier than I used to be, and don't have the inclination to spend my free time playing with code, adding plugins, making sure everything is running smoothly.

So I've come full circle, and we're back to Blogspot. It's changed a lot since those early days, so I'm still finding new things.

The theme of this blog is a new start. Feel free to leave comments and subscribe to the feed. The readership base will change, and we will both be posting here together instead of our own seperate blogs, but we're the same people :)

So welcome!
