Artsnova Digital Art and Space Blog

Blog Update

January 23, 2024: As a part of the redesign of the Artsnova website, I have converted the Artsnova Digital Art and Space Blog from the Wordpress CMS (Content Management System) to a custom off-line CMS of my own design. As deployment of this new website is driven by the plan renewal due date of my hosting plan - and wishing to avoid at all costs renewing with the company that bought the hosting company I had been using, my time has been dedicated to coding up the new website. Given the age of the most recent blog post on my 'heritage' blog, I will only add blog posts here that have been written after January 23, 2024. You can access older blog posts either via the categories listed below or via the Blog Archives Index.

I'm also embarrassed to say that during this period I have added very little new content to the website and wrote no blog posts. I'd like to share with you some of my thinking with respect to this website redesign.
