Letters Home is on the move! Thursday, October 08, 2009

That's right, after almost exactly three years here, Letters Home is moving to a whole new location on the web: bookmark it now, or change your RSS feed link:

www.MatthewGinn.com/LettersHome

With the move, it's getting a whole new look. It should be a lot better for displaying my photos (bigger too!—click on the thumbnails for a slide show), and it will also be easier to search for specific topics. Plus it just looks better.

One of the main improvements is the ability to categorize posts. I'm still working out the details on that system, and it might take a while for me to sort out the categorization on my backlog of posts, but new posts will have nice neat categories for you to browse through.

And, with the new system, I can create "pages." I'm not sure how I will use that for this blog, but it is a pretty cool feature that will eventually come in handy.

The other major announcement is a whole new "blog." Portland Band Photographer is pretty much what the name implies: the best source for bands, musicians and other performers who need photos for their websites, press kits, etc. You can already see a portfolio of my band and musician portraits (like the one of Mother Mother at right), and another portfolio of live concert photography. I'll be adding stories and examples of my music photography to the blog part over the next few days.

Stay tuned! (Just not here.)
