Pardon the Dust

Over the course of the next few weeks I will be working on a redesign of this site as well as a reorganization/rebranding of DriftingFocus.com.

As you already know, I've been separating out my various blogs onto their own sites. So, what is to become of my home here at DriftingFocus.com?

Taking a page from various large web presences, I've decied to rename DriftingFocus to the DriftingFocus Network. Not only does it more accurately reflect my reality online, but I also thought I'd poke a bit of fun at myself and the blogosphere at the same time.

Historically Speaking has Relaunched!

Though there are still a few kinks to be worked out, today I am officially relaunching my reenacting blog, Historically Speaking.

After travel, reenacting has always been my most popular subject here at DriftingFocus, and I am glad that it will finally have a home of its own. I have something of a backlog of material that I've been waiting for the relaunch to post, so keep an eye on the blog over the next few weeks and if you're interested in keeping up with my historical exploits, please change your links and subscriptions to: Read more

Traveling Tomboy has Relaunched!

Earlier this week I launched the first of my blog redesigns/relocations: Traveling Tomboy

I am mostly finished with my reenacting blog, Historically Speaking, as well, and will probably launch it sometime next week. This weekend's task is to get a start on my photography blog which is tentatively called DriftingFocus Photography, for launch sometime toward the end of the month. The conversion/redesign process has gone more smoothly than I predicted and as a result I should be finished with the whole process by mid-January, despite the setbacks I had at the beginning.

Why I'm Restructuring my Blog(s)

I've had a few folks ask me why I'm reorganizing/restructuring my web presence again, and a moment I had last night with another travel blogger seems to be a good example to base my explanation off of. So, here you go:

Last night, as I was walking back to the Metro with Chris of Packed Suitcase after the joint year-end party for the DC Travel Tweetup/Travel Massive, my reasons for once again moving things around on my site were reinforced for me. I mentioned to Chris that I was once again reorganizing my blogs, and when she said "Again?!?", I explained to her that my reorganization last year was for the purpose of better branding, and that I had in fact made the problem worse.
