I built the original craphound.com back in 1999, so that I could send Jim Van Pelt something to link to on his Campbell Awards site. I was the proverbial shoeless cobbler’s son: I had been earning my living on the Web for seven years, but I’d never bothered to build a personal site.
That was before there was anything like a blog-engine for easy management, so I did it all by hand, and I maintained it (or, in fact, didn’t maintain it) by hand for the intervening years.
It’s time to retire the old boy. The site did me well, but it’s an unmanageable mess. If you want to access it still, I’ve left all the old pages online — check them out here (if you must).
Now that I’ve got a sweet, ligthweight content management system on my back-end I’m hoping that I’m going to be able to keep the site more up-to-date, with each new publication and each new interview or press-mention.
