So here we are in these wonderful new premises at Squarespace. I realised that the old website design was looking pretty dated a while back, but initially the options for moving to something better, brighter and definitely more modern looked expensive and - worse - time consuming. I'd rather be writing than spending time with web designers...
I'd heard Squarespace advertise in countless podcasts - Culture Gabfest, Freakonomics, Radio Lab all rescue me from the commute to Portsmouth - and finally thought I should give them a look. About three hours later I pretty much had a new website. All right, I already had the text and images to slot in from the old design, but still, it's a pretty cool service.
I have to confess I wasn't at all sure about adding the blog again though, even with the impressive facility for importing everything from the old blogger blog, my recent lack of activity did make me wonder if I should just drop it - no blog, no more guilt! But then, when you have got something to say, where do you say it? For all the immediacy of a facebook post or tweet, sometimes a movie, book or political event just demands a bit more.
So here I am, back on the blog - albeit briefly - and hoping to have something to say and the time to say it again soon...
