Welcome to the new site

Hi there, and welcome to the newest incarnation of static|red.  I'm doing things a bit differently this time around.

The blog is definitely going to still be a part of it, and I'm hoping that by revamping things I'm encouraged to write blog entries on a more frequent basis. I'd like to start writing more article-like things here as well, so that may come up as a regular site feature.

The bit of the new site I'm most excited by, however, is the new music listing. I've been listening to a lot of music lately, and keep finding really great stuff I want to share with everyone. Up to this point, because staticred.net wasn't really set up for it, I've been sharing those bands through Facebook posts.  That seems a bit shameful, since a) I have a website, and b) I'd like to give a little more information about the bands I'm sharing with you, including a bit about why I like them and how I came across them. So I've worked up a section of the site for just that purpose.

Comments should return to being useful again, as you now have to sign up on the site for an account to comment. Hopefully, this keeps the spambots at bay.  If not, I guess we'll have to find another way to get around that.

In short, welcome to the new site.
