Welcome to my new blog!

Hello there

Greetings and welcome to the new Liberal Arts Grad blog. For those of you who knew me from way back, I used to have a website called the "Liberal Arts Grad Website" which I took down last year for various technical reasons. To make a long story short, I encountered a serious technical problem in my hosting site (a free hosting arrangement) which necessitated taking the entire site down because I couldn't upload to it anymore. More than the technical reasons, however, it got to be a hassle to update the site on a regular basis. Being a webmaster is a time consuming process and I found myself running out of ideas to write about near the tail end of 2003. So given those two reasons, I decided to put my site on hiatus and concentrate on my personal life for a while.

Well, I got the itch again to publish online. But this time I decided to do a blog just to check out what this technology is all about. Also, with the more immediate nature of this animal, I think this is a better forum for my Liberal Arts grad related writings. Will I resurrect the Liberal Arts Grad website? Perhaps in the future, yes. I am actually thinking of entering a professional web development certification program in the near future to take my web development skills beyond the level of the hobbyist to a true professional. I am thinking when that happens I might resurrect the Liberal Arts Grad website as a demonstration site to show off my skills. Which will make it mostly a showpiece for technical wizardry, rather than the forum for my writing. For that, well, I have the blog!

Anyway, enough prattling. Welcome and I hope that you enjoy visiting this blog and reading my rantings and ravings!
