Welcome, Again.

Welcome_mat_2If you’re here, that means you found me!

So, welcome to the new “When EF Talks!”

The best/coolest thing about this move is that all the old entries ported over. I can already see that some of the formattings a bit wonky, but I’ll get around to fixing that eventually.

As I said in my last entry over on Blogger, there was nothing wrong there, really. Just feeling the need try out WordPress. Hope I won’t regret jumping ship.

This is the fourth blogging platform for “When EF Talks” since I started all this back in 2004. For those keeping score (and why would you?) those were:

iBlog (yeesh)

RapidWeaver

Blogger

Now, WordPress.

The other best/coolest thing about this jump is that we now have a dedicated name: “WhenEFTalks.com” So, update those bookmarks.

And thanks for trying out the new site.

Please let me know what you think, too.
