new life -- same location

There is nothing like a new set of sheets and a redesigned blog to start the new year.

Here is the new look. 


Not the car.  Though, that would also have been a nice announcement.  Especially for my niece, who believes that all things good are Ferrari.


I tried to keep the new blog style sleek and simple.  Especially, with a contrast between the background and the text that would not tire the eyes.  And yet new enough that it would not seem like rewarmed dinner.

And that title.*  I suppose it does not take any explanation.  I am an expatriate in Mexico.  Thus, "mexpatriate."  It is not entirely original.  But it is apt.

And the rest?  This is a blog about my experiences.  So, I may as well be up front with it.  What I write is in my own key.  Any transposed keys will undoubtedly be found in your comments.


You have already been introduced to the new comment system.  So far, it is working great.  If you would like to read a very well-written summary of the advantages of the new system, take a look at Felipe's post.  He makes me wonder why I didn't switch earlier.

But blogs are not solely about design.  They are about content.  What will this coming year bring?

I don't have the slightest idea.  And that is what this experiment is all about.  Learning to live a full life in Mexico.  If I knew what was coming, that would defeat the entire purpose.


All I can do is invite you on the rest of this journey.  And we will share this path together.


* -- For those of you who have been kind enough to add my address in your blog rolls, would you mind updating it with the new title?  Gracias.
