Website Redesign

by mattjdrake on May 5, 2010

As you may have noticed I have started to do a bit of redesign on this website. I know that in a lot of ways I have neglected this site since I have been super-busy but I want to spend some more time here now hence the redesign.

What Will You See Here?

One of the things that I want to start doing is using this blog like it is intended to be used for: as a pseudo-personal journal that I hope will be of interest to you. Not that I think you want to know the elaborate details of my cats or child’s life but I hope to jot some things done here that you may find interesting. Or not but I guess we’ll see!

Let The Self-Indulgence Begin!

Just kidding – sort of. Anyways kinda what I hope to communicate through this blog is what it is like to be one of the new generation of Internet-Online-Post-Something business owner. So stay tuned!
