Another retro-post as I collect my thoughts and ponder the future of Blog.
I’ve come to a spork in the road.
Since my blogging adventure began, the design of my website has changed on a couple of occasions. The first change was cosmetic, the second by accident. I was experimenting with WordPress ‘Customizer’ (honestly, just tinkering, no malice intended), when I inadvertently hit the wrong tab and obliterated my old design. The new theme was merciless, wreaking havoc with my site, juxtaposing images, eradicating menus, dissolving uniformity.
A year’s worth of archives, jumbled.

Evolution is important, and sometimes technology pushes you out of your sacred spot…It is unsettling to say the least.

It is important that readers and potential readers be able to keep up with you, keep you in mind, and discover reasons why they might like to buy things your write between covers…Do stay. Tell us more. Some of us like your voice!
