My Ends Are My Beginnings: WEBSITE REDESIGN!

May 10, 2010 at 12:20 am · Filed under Uncategorized

Redesigning my website has been a project I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. Well, I finally did it. As a result, this space, which was serving as an interim website, is hereby declared dead. No further updating will take place here. For news, updates, race reports, and gratuitous cat photos, please update your bookmarks and subscribe to the new feed. All insightful, inciteful, and “reductionist” blogging about musical matters takes place at Sound Directions on the Baltimore Sun’s Charm City Current website. This space will continue to live as an archive since there are a great number of posts and I don’t want to break anybody’s old links. Thanks so much and let me know if you’ve got any feedback on the new site!
