I've been slowly doing some overdue maintenance and amelioration on the blog and part of it has been coming up with a "Start Here" page. While this will be especially useful to readers who are new to the site, I thought I'd share the highlights as, some of you old-timers may discover something new too!
On the "Start Here" page you will find:
- Introductions – A little information about the person behind the blog
- The story behind Afri-love – Why I started it and what I hope to achieve
- What to expect – A listing of the types of posts you will find on the blog (see below)
- Dive in (popular posts) – A short list of some of the posts you've enjoyed most over the past 3+ years. I'll be reviewing this regularly and updating it accordingly
- Extra stuff – Some of the other stuff you can find/access on the blog, including creative services; posts, articles I've written elsewhere as well as press; resources – a directory of relevant/useful sites (another item on my maintenance list is to populate this much more. Suggestions welcome!)
- Get more Afri-love – Different options for staying tuned, depending on what you want and when
