Well I’m back. How have you been? What’s been going on? It feels good to be back. There are some changes around here, and I’ll go through them quickly.

Tweaked design. Several people have bemoaned the white text on black, so I flipped it. It’s also sort of a streamlined look, especially because not everything on the old site is included (yet).

No online comments. A controversial decision, but one I feel good about, at least for now. You can always e-mail me a comment about a specific post, and you can read the past comments. Despite recent events around here, there’s a lot of good stuff still in the comments.

Categories. I had categories on the old site, but I never used them. Several people have asked to see, for example, only the movie reviews. Now you can – just click on a category name to see only those posts. I don’t have a lot of the past entries categorized, but I’m working on it. When you choose a category, it’s listed at the top of the page so you know what you’re looking at. Click on “all” under the category list to go back to seeing everything at once.

I’d like to thank everyone who’s coming back here after my three-month hiatus. There’s lots of stuff I want to add (links, favorite posts, photo galleries, other articles), but I didn’t want to wait until everything was done to launch. If I did that, I’d never be back.

E-mail me at any time about anything. I love to hear from you.

Well, here goes.
