Moving On Up

Welcome to my new and much improved home on the web.

I finally overcame my inertia and spent a few hours setting up a WordPress blog. After a year+ of putting up with the geriatric dinosaur that is LiveJournal, I feel like Robin Williams’ character in “Moscow on the Hudson” when he gets his first taste of freedom. WordPress is a far more powerful platform. In fact, it can do way more cool stuff than I even know how to use at this time.  As you can see, all the content from the previous blog has been ported over. I also spent a few bucks and registered alexshvartsman.com – so no more clunky web addresses. If you can remember how to spell my surname – which in itself is no small feat – you can find your way over to this page.

Over the next few days I plan to play with my shiny new toy. I’ll check out all the bells and whistles WP has to offer. Who knows, I might even manage to update this blog a little more often. Stay tuned!

    Alex,

    The new blog looks wonderful. I like the graphic in the header, too.

    P.S. Don’t forget to update your blog link in your bio paragraph on the “My Stories” page–it still cites livejournal.

    Thanks very much, Sue Ann!

    I will update it (and a few other places) shortly – thank you for the reminder.
