Not **But,** whilst I'm here, I might as well do some describing of what this site is and where I will be taking it. Exciting stuff... -This site came about as a result of a complete re-design from the ground up of my website. My previous website was hosted under a different domain which now redirects here. It was powered entirely by WordPress with a metric tonne of plugins on the most feeble server known to man. This basically resulted in a very slow site with quite limited customization. +My old site ran on Wordpress with what seemed like a billion plugins and stuff. In general, it was pretty bad. So, I tried again - and this is the result! -I decided to start again from scratch to give myself a bit more wiggle room. This is the result. +I am planning to eventually migrate across all my old blog posts in to their own special section - but that will take some time because they currently only exist in the WordPress XML backup format thingy. I will probably end up writing a blog post about the process of extracting the articles back out into Markdown (unless a tool has already been written, I will probably have to do it myself, sadly). -As this site evolves, it is likely that many things will change and break so get ready for that, I guess. I would suppose that not enough people read this anyway for any link rot or other poor administration to have sever effects. +Other things to come: updates on my projects, life and opinions on stuff. In any case, hopefully this is the first of many good posts to come and I will keep them coming.
