Those of you who have been following The Lesser Blog for the past few years may have noticed that my postings have been getting more and more infrequent. This is because I’ve been using a very unwieldy software linked to our website, which had to be completely uploaded every time I made a new entry. When I spent a month blogging on the NAJP site, where I was able to post daily even during the electricity-less Hurricane Sandy period, I realized there were better options out there. So now we have updated.
This change means that I will be posting much more often, and it also means that you can make comments if you like. Some of my posts will be shorter and some longer, but they will cover the same range of topics they always have, and perhaps more. In the next few weeks, for instance, I’m planning to talk about my summer pleasure reading, the Music@Menlo festival, a visit to the Pier 24 photography gallery, a trip to the Salk Institute in La Jolla, a new play at the Mark Taper Forum, chamber music in the Napa Valley vineyards, and who knows what else. I haven’t left anything behind, either: all the old posts are still available in the Archives (over there to your right), and now they’re even searchable by key words and categorized by date of entry.
The blog may look a bit bare-bones at first, but we—the editorial we, which includes my computer consultant—will gradually modify it with a few attractive graphics. And in the meantime it will be easy to use and easy to read, which is the main point, after all. So do come join me whenever you like, and if you have an opinion, please let me know what you think.
