Ever feel like taking the pages out of your notebook and ripping them out to start over?

Yeah, me too. Since you are reading this you are involved in the process as well.

The Facebook accounts are “scheduled” for deletion, the GReader inbox has been thinned out.

People on Twitter that I am following has been reduced.

The website is being streamlined into something more manageable and readable.

Possessions that might have been useful or meaningful are neither and are being sold or given away.

The ideas I want to post here should be relevant, not random. They also need to be mine, not someone else’s idea. My media content should be posted here, not theirs. I can save that for Twitter or Google Plus. 

I suppose I just want this website to be a reflection of me and you are seeing these ideas and changes evolve as I am evolving. 

The first, overreactive response I had to this feeling was to export the content, archive it and restore the database with a fresh install.

I’ve done this many times with a computer’s hard drive, why not this website? Heck, I may still do it.

I want to be intentional, focused and fresh. I need a blank page to start this whole thing over.

I took some time last night to make the website’s design more responsive and streamlined. There may be a few glitches and interface changes.

I’m doing it again. As the website’s current byline claims: “Never satisfied”, I am reorganizing and streamlining.

Project 1: Adding Daphne’s images to her web gallery which is tied into this website http://chrisdenbow.website/dvd

Project 2: Migrating all of my images off of both Flickr accounts (6 years worth). My Flickr Pro account will expire this month and I am not anxious to renew it after all these years. Lack of innovation and customer support has me looking to my own server. I tried SmugMug but can’t get into it.

Project 3: Uploading a majority of these to a photo gallery attached to my personal photography site

This website was created about the same time MySpace was coming online back in 2000 and I’ve always said this is my main outlet. Sure, I’ve been lured by social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and now Google+, but always managed to find my way back here.

This website is the only place where I own the content. My thoughts, my images, the followers and even the privacy controls.

Yes, the website is going under another massive redesign. Yes, I am never satisfied. No, I am not too concerned with you lagging behind. Do try to keep, won’t you? Oh, and thank you for your patience and continued reading!

Thanks to GoDaddy.com and its support of SOPA, I am in the process of transferring my domain name (chrisdenbow.website) to NameCheap. The website should NOT have any down time during the process but I’ll be monitoring it. If you need me, join me on Google Plus since my email address chris AT chrisdenbow.website will be unavailable.

Another year and another website re-design. Welcome to version 50.0. (??) I really should be documenting all these version changes.
