Introducing New Leaf…a new blog design

May 31, 2009 Posted in Web


For the past couple weeks I have been working on a new blog design, and I am pleased to finally get it up on the site. I am calling this new design New Leaf, because for me, the design also brings with it a number of new sections to the site, notably a portfolio and an academics section.  These new sections mark a small shift in the purpose of the site.  In the past, it was just a simple blog, but now it is more of a combination of a blog and personal portfolio.  The portfolio section is a small collection and description of work I have done in over the past seven years of my career.  This will definitely continue to grow in the next couple years.  And, the academics section is a collection of work I did to earn my MBA.  After graduating with my undergraduate degree, I lost (and, honestly forgot about) just about everything that I had produced when in school.  So, this is kind of way to make sure that doesn’t happen again.  Right now, I have just a few papers and presentations up, but over time, I will try to update the site with anything that I produced that I thought would be somewhat interesting.

Anyways, I hope you all like the redesign.  And, if you find any bugs (I am sure there are a ton), let me know.
