Comments on the launch

In preparation for the imminent arrival of the new website, I want to give a little warning - this site is brand spanking new and is in no way, shape or form to be considered finished. Its contents, as you will see this weekend, are a work in progress. There are a few pages here and there (and you'll know which ones I mean when the site launches) that are a bit sparse and uninteresting, but bear with me. I've left them there on purpose to give the site room to grow into.

Over the coming months I'll be doing my best to update the site with new material as often as I'm able, and as regularly as I can produce it. There are two areas in particular that I can work on expanding right away and this future work will fill in any gaps in the content. You'll have to keep checking back to see how well I'm doing in that regard.

In addition to seeing new things appear, you might also see things vanish. I'm still not massively clear on what sort of content is suitable for inclusion on a writer's website, so I've pretty much just written whatever I could think of and included it. I have no idea what's relevant and what would seem like vanity to a reader. It's felt a lot like walking a tightrope above a chasm of self-indulgence, and the slightest misstep would see me tumbling away into the oblivion below. I don't think I've done too badly, but when you're been so focused in on something you can sometimes lose track of the big picture.

So I'm going to need your help to work on and improve the website in the following months and naturally I'd appreciate any feedback you can think to give. If there's anything else you'd like me to include, anything you'd like to see more or less of, or anything that you think is redundant and not of interest at all, let me know and I can work on it. As time goes on and I get a better picture of what is needed the site will keep getting better.

Learning is fun.

In the meantime it might be best for my blood pressure if you consider the site a dynamic ever-changing emporium of magic and wonderment. Anything that helps conceal the truth that I don't really know what I'm doing would be handy.

As good as a rest

I've made a few changes to the the blog, mostly to bring it a little closer in looks to the imminent new website. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes off without any technical issues and goes live at the weekend.

If it does these changes should lend my web presence, such as it is, a little more consistency.

Things are afoot

Nothing major, but interesting nonetheless.

A new website is incoming, hopefully in the next few weeks. Or whenever I can produce the content by. Shooting for the first week in March.

Watch this space.
