Site Unseen

After five years with essentially the same website design (albeit in various formats) I decided it was time for a change. Thus I present to you “rwitch.com.”

“robertwitchger.com” will, from now on, redirect to this site. I figured the main web address “rwitch.com” would be easier to spell and remember.

Obviously the look and feel of this site is different from past efforts, but the meat of it is much the same.

The major differences, other than the new layout and URL, are as follows:

  1. There is no more “Links” section. Links that I find interesting will now be posted on my delicious.com account, the contents of which are then pulled onto the rwitch.com homepage, in that column to the right of us. If this seems horribly roundabout to you, you’re both absolutely right, and you have had no contact with the internet in the past three years.
  2. This site is powered by WordPress, so it has permalinks, you can leave comments on posts by clicking the word “comments” at the end of said post, and you can instantly add a post to your Digg, Delicious, Facebook, Google Bookmarks, or Twitter account, or email it to a friend, via the icons below.
  3. My “Search This Site” feature now works at least halfway decently.
  4. Both my “Blog” and “Links” RSS feeds are functioning as intended. I had been trying to hand-code the XML for these previously, and I’m not sure I ever really got the hang of it.

All my posts and links from past sites are safe and secure on my hard drive and, while they’re not all represented here at the moment, I should have them assimilated within the month.

rwitch.com doesn’t represent every aspect of who I am, but, as the web presence for my career and my various online rantings and ravings, I’m very happy with it.
