Gary BUTTERWORTH Online

If you’re reading this post, then you found me!

Yep, you’re right; things do look a little different around here.  That’s because I’ve moved from Xanga to WordPress!
Xanga served me well, but it was never what I really wanted.  I’d been wanting to make a change for a while, and I thought this was the right time.

Some people feel like they get a fresh start in January.  Maybe it’s my inner Aryan, but I feel like April is a fresher start.

• The weather is nice.
• Hockey starting fresh with the playoffs.
• Uncle Sam and I get square, money-wise.
• My website celebrates its anniversary!

Yep, in case you weren’t keeping track (or in case you were keeping track and noticed that garybutterworth.com has celebrated its anniversary on differen dates, and you wondered which one was the “official” one), today is the 4th anniversary of my blog!

So, what better way to kick off my fifth year than with a whole new site. 
And not just any old site, but a site where all four years of posts are finally together in one place, and where, finally, anyone can comment.

As you can tell, I’m still getting moved in.  Most of the sub-pages at the top of this page have nothing under them expect for “coming soon,” and, while I have manually (and tediously) moved 300+ posts and comments over here, some things are missing.  Old posts need tags, posts need titles, etc.

I’ll be California Dreamin’ away April 12-18, so those things won’t get fixed immediately, but sooner or later, they will.

Even if things are still a little rough around the edges, I can tell already that I will be happy here.  This whole site just feels neater, more functional, and more professional, and I think that alone will coax me to update a little more often, and put a little more effort into my posts.  I know I already have several things I’d like to talk about.

Not tonight, though.

After doing web and tax stuff for a good portion of the day, my eyes hurt, I’m tired, and I still need to get packed for my trip.

I’ll be posting regularly VERY soon! 

For now, though, feel free to peruse the four years worth of archives. 

Thanks for stopping by, welcome to my new website, and happy 4th anniversary!
