The bright side of “sheltering at home”

Given what’s going on in the world for almost all of us our day to day lives have changed. I know for me I have had a few weeks off (paid thankfully!) and the company now has me working at home. This “sheltering at home” policy has created some problems but also some opportunities. The opportunities are because of the extra time I have at home, no commute, no trips here and there, just more time, time to do some of the things that just always got put off.

One of those things was to spend a bit more time on my “poor” website! I say poor because I just never finished transferring and rebuilding from the “old site”, just how unfinished it was becoming apparent to me after going through a saved version of the old site and seeing how much was missing on the new one.

The old site had been built in the old style of separate pages and areas unlike the new “blogger” style of just doing post after post and using “tags” and “categories” to sort the articles based on user searches. It does make the transferring of old pages a bit difficult since you can build the page but no one will see them unless the happen to poke around your site. Nowadays blogs let subscriber’s know via email or some type of messaging when new content goes up. I wanted to keep most of these old pages as “pages” since some of them are quite long and a bit much for a post. So, what I have decided to do is move them over as a “page” but then do a small post “announcing” the “new” or really transferred, updated page with a link to it. Here is the first of those, enjoy!
