Another season, another site update. Visitors to mikearauz.com will notice that I've given my site a bit of a face lift. In addition to the winter banner photography, and the black and white color scheme, I've also done some re-arranging of the site content.

In the main column you'll find a stream of more conventional "blog-type" entries - including videos, photography, links of special note, and short original posts.

The longer posts that I've been writing have moved to the "Essays" section. On the home page you'll see the 3 most recent essays listed, and a link to the Essay archive page at the bottom. I will definitely continue to write these longer more thoughtful posts, but as they happen less frequently, I thought that separating them on my site would make it easier for visitors to absorb the content. If you're a more recent reader, I'd like to encourage you to visit the Essay archive page, and take a look at some of my older essays.

Subscribers need not fear, new essays will still be published in the RSS feed. The feed will just include more regular, brief entries on a range of mostly entertaining topics, in addition to the daily del.icio.us link post.

Any feedback is always welcome.

Thank you for your continued interest and attention. Good luck and best wishes for the new year.
