I figure anything’s better than an “under construction” sign. And I don’t have a pic of one anyway. Maybe if I did things’d be different. (Note to self.)

Then again, I can’t recall ever actually seeing an “under construction” sign. I mean a real sign, not just an icon on a web page. You? If you have, please let me know. And, if you have a pic, then all the better.

What’s more, I also figure anything’s better than my previous website, which I justified until now by reasoning that anything’s better than nothing, though now I’m not so sure.

So I was keen for an overhaul. And keen to try the WordPress thing. Not that I particularly want to blog anything in particular or anything. (But I possibly could get the hang of it.) I just like the way WordPress thinks and feels. And there’s something pleasantly serendipitous about the way it works. Destinations and journeys and all that.

Anyway, please have a look around. Clients/colleagues, many of you will find yourselves linked in various places. Loved Ones and Love Merchants, you’ll notice the Love Sign stuff is somewhat rudimentary at this stage. (Thinking about it. Working on it.) But … excitement upon excitement … poke around or just scroll down and you’ll find … a new sign! Hooray!

The design template is an off-the-shelf WordPress theme—Journalist—tweaked a little. I’ll get a real designer to do me a real design once I’ve refined the structure and content and so on. Anybody interested?

Welcome your thoughts, comments, critiques, etc.

Thanks, many
