PSA: blog is moving soon from blog.julianwest.me to julianwest.me/Blog. You can actually bookmark or switch RSS feeds now. Soon “blog.julianwest.me” will be no more as the new one takes over.
The blog is also retiring the “Faults and Observations” (FAO) name. It’s just “julianwest.me” now. Simplification is the reason.
The blog was hosted on Medium for nearly a decade, and I’ll have a separate write-up tomorrow on what lead to the move. It’s mainly like I said, simplification. But also Medium kinda sucks now, too. And I need to dumb this thing down: remove friction to ease-of-posting.
Anyway I’m liking the new setup, if you read this blog you probably will too. I have themed it with an available Dark Mode, and unified my julianwest.me site contents & Contact info here. Clean. Simple. For more on the blog hosting setup, click the Colophon link below at the footer.
So welcome to the new digs, and I now offer you a quote from my very first post on Medium from way back in 2012:
“Blogging is not writing. It’s just graffiti with punctuation.”
