Old School HTML

It is one of the blessings of old friends
that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have just relaunched my personal & professional website. I thought about using WordPress, but I did not want to start another blog. So I programmed it with HTML using TextWrangler — the old school way (following a website design I liked).

The relaunched site is freaking fast, probably still has a few css bugs, but all in all, I like it. It was a nice reminder that sometimes the established “modern” way might, despite all its convenience and advantages, have its limitations.

And as usual, presenting yourself professionally can remind you what you stand for.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
