The Blog is Moving....

After much consideration I've now decided to move this blog across to WordPress and integrate it more closely into my main website. The new blog can be found at www.astannard.com/blog, and it does of course mean that this blog will no longer get updated.

There's a few reasons behind this....

1. A blog more closely coupled with my site means it will be easier to consolidate a few different pages on my site. Rather than having a separate News, Articles and Blog page these are now all one.
2. All the blog posts now reside on my own domain, which makes backing up easier and should hopefully help with SEO, after all they do say content is king!
3. The WordPress blog is easier for me to update remotely, which will mean more posts.
4. I quite liked the challenge of integrating WordPress into my existing site, and it gave me the chance to learn something new!

All the blog posts from this site have been transferred across as well, so the content is still there, although I have obviously lost all your kind comments (feel free to comment on the new blog!).

I'll leave you with this image from the Forest of Bowland. It's rapidly becoming a favourite area of mind, and it's becoming something of a project to build up a collection of images from up on these lonely but beautiful moors. Could even become the source of my first book one day, but we'll see....

Thanks,
Andrew.
