So here it is, version three point Oh! That’s right, the first installment of focoproject, some of you will remember, was a rather complicated affair through Dreamweaver, far more complicated than it needed to be and a pain in the arse to update, which is why it never really did get updated…or not often anyway. Version deux point oh was the one I had going up until a few days ago, running on rapidweaver which was a hell of a lot simpler, but still only updatable on rapidweaver, which unfortunately only runs on a Mac. This meant that I could only post on my site when at work, and let’s be honest, the exciting stuff worth posting about does NOT happen at work. It really sucked having to wait to put something up until the following Monday, by which time I most likely would have forgotten.

This brings us to version tres punto zero, which as you can see, is a hell of a lot simpler and running on Wordpress, which I am happy to say allows you to post from pretty much any computer that allows for internet access. At some point I will be adding a gallery page for my sketches and illustrations, I will also be hopefully adding a page for music which would be nice to have on my own site. So, yes, there is still work to be done, but you will also notice that the movie and book reviews that I used to carry on the forum can now be found here. Sadly I have decided to get rid of the forum, where I was doing most of my posting but unfortunately not where all of the traffic was going. All of those reviews have been moved over here (a lengthy task when you are transferring all that stuff manually) which you can easily access by clicking on the categories link on the side bar. You can also use the search field on the upper part of the sidebar to look up any genre or movie/book title and this will conveniently pull it up for you (assuming I have it); and of course you are still welcome to leave your thoughts and comments by simply clicking on the post title and typing it up! So this will hopefully make things easier for everybody and will also create more traffic where the traffic should be.

Lastly, I must give credit where credit is due, so thanks Todd for 1) letting me know about wordpress, which will save me lots of headaches and 2) for letting my site kick it in your server. Having said that, welcome to the new website, I hope you enjoy it and while you can expect changes soon, they should not affect the functionality of the website, it will only add more goodies to it.

So, in the words of some random astronaut whom I do not know, as far as this website is concerned: “Houston, we are go!”

Fco.
