About this re-engineered site, yep it’s Wordpress, and it took me a couple of months to get up to speed (it felt like it took me forever). I finally hired a Wordpress consultant to give me a few well-placed tips and nudges, until I could comfortably handle it on my own. Now that I’m happy with how it looks, my creative juices are really flowing.

By the way, yes it’s a blog, but it’s also more (“It’s a floor cleaner AND a dessert topping!”). I’m using Wordpress as more of a “content management system,” and my vision for my site is that of a magazine or journal, only one part of which is a blog. I’ll keep dumping my thoughts out to the blog, probably almost daily.

But I also intend to write longer, more thoughtful articles (for the “article department”) and essays, etc. In fact, I hope to solicit articles from others. We’ll see how that works out. For that purpose, though, I really wanted a professional looking site, and I believe I’ve got that now. Stay tuned.

I can tell a wordpress blog from a mile away and I think you’ve got a pretty good looking one here. I don’t know when you launched the new site, but I like it. I’ve updated your feed in my reader so your content still shows up on my Nevada County page.
