About – Why Would I Write

This about page is more like a changelog than about me. Maybe one day I’ll write about myself and retitle this page.

Switched to WordPress’ Twenty Twenty-Five theme because I messed up some plugins with my GeneratePress theme and decided it was easier to start from scratch than troubleshoot.
Works out fine because it’s not that different. Also, probably some performance gains and better mobile readability.

Switched to a custom MaterialPress Theme, still tweaking settings, so expect changes in the coming days.

Enabled W3 Cache settings to speed up site performance.
Did a quick search of all instances of blorgy.net on my blog and replaced them with goodnewsgeorge.com to fix broken URLs.
This has the side effect of replacing non-URL instances of the word, which means some posts will need to be manually corrected.

Welcome to version 1.0 of goodnewsgeorge.com.
Blorgy.net will officially die on April 23, 2023, and will be replaced by goodnewsgeorge.com (purchased November 13, 2022).
Implemented the Neve theme.
Redesigned the About page so it’s easier to track changes. The archived text is below.

Well after what seemed like forever, I’ve finally purchased my own domain name (April 8, 2007).
I actually planned to launch this blog on Friday the 13th of April 2007, but laziness got the best of me and so here it is 5 days later.
I’m still playing around with the layout and all, so this might not be final, but it probably is.
Anyways, leave me some feedback, I’m always interested to hear what people have to say, and if you notice that your link isn’t here (I probably forgot to put it) let me know, and I’ll link you.
I will come up with a better About page. Soon.
I created the banner by taking a photograph of a keyboard and then vectorizing it using Toon Boom Studio. Colored it, touched it up, and added the letters in Photoshop.
Found the blog design by browsing through some random themes on the WordPress site. Changed it a bit while retaining key elements of the original design, and tada! A brand-new blog.
Yay.
