Site redesign coming soon

I know I said I was back about a month or so ago, but I mean it this time Had some more personal issues crop up as I tried to fire this back up again, but now that I feel that I’ve gotten a lot of things put back together on the home and work front, I think it’s time that I pull a reboot here. Kind of like Star Trek, except that I can’t get a younger and more attractive person to play me.

Anyway, here’s what you can expect in the coming weeks. I am going to switch providers for this site, first off. I’ve learned a lot of things designing a site from scratch and using WordPress, but after not signing on for a month or two I again have massive updates I need to do on the backend with plugins and the core WordPress engine. I’m going to go to a easier-to-manage hosted solution, but still try to keep the custom-look that I worked to develop here.

Second, I’m going to keep doing the tech news and stories that I find interesting, sharing things I find with my own unique perspective added. Gadget reviews will still be high up there (got a bunch of new things to talk about here), as will reviews of sci-fi movies, TV shows, and the like. Games will still gather some attention here, but mostly around what I’m playing, what the kids are playing, and things that I’m looking forward to. Expect a dedicated World of Warcraft section, though not anywhere near in depth as some of the dedicated WoW sites. Just be about my experiences in game.

I’m going to add some other things as time permits as well, linking in to other social media sites so that you can enjoy the content I provide here in whatever form you like to use. Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, GDGT, Digg, if you already use any of these sites you’ll be able to see my stories easily. Even through a simple RSS update if that’s what floats your boat (which is usually my favorite way to get my stories, although it seems rather old-school these days). I still have a goal of doing a regular podcast of sorts that would go over some of the top things that I’d covered or topics that deserve longer attention.

Anyway, a lot of work to do here. Keep coming back as the site goes through its changes again, and GTT will become a great place to get news, reviews, and comments on tech geek life in general.

Your Geek,

Andy
