Yes, things are looking a little different around here!<\/b>  I decided to finally try out some different blogging software.  Greymatter<\/a> served us well for two years, but the software hasn’t been updated for a loooong time, and suffice to say blogs have changed a lot.<\/p>\n

So, on a whim I transferred our blog over to WordPress<\/a>.  Like Greymatter, WordPress is free, and we all like free.  It’s easy to change the look and feel, add interesting features, and keep it updated.<\/p>\n

Right away you’ll notice a few new features.  In the side bar there, you’ll see a list of recent posts that have been commented on, by nice people like you.  You’ll see upcoming events, archives that are much easier to access than before, and even a weather report.  Of course I’ve imported the list of countries that visitors to Finding direction<\/i> come from.<\/p>\n

So, let us know what you think and we’ll see how it goes.  I was going to leave the blog alone until the day when I updated the whole site (whenever that day may be), but WordPress only took a few minutes to set up, so they sucked me in. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You will notice that every entry doesn’t yet have a category (beyond Misc).  That didn’t import, so I have to change them manually, which may take time.  Recent posts are all in categories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
