You should notice today the blog looks a little different. That's because it is now hosted on Movable Type Version 4, which Zach at Cazinc helped me set up. It's also given me the opportunity to review my existing strategy/design/ approach etc.

The biggest change is that I have integrated all the content from my two previous blogs, this one and Moosehat.com into one place. I wanted a simpler life and have been thinking about having a single blog for a long time.

The design is still a work in progress but for today it is good enough to get working on. I still have a few things to do on the 'infrastructure', such as reinstall Disqus, then I'll work on the whole look and feel.

You will notice the Current Activity and Find Me Elsewhere blocks to the right. These are courtesy of Action Streams, although I did try friendfeed (the widget was not very flexible) and Zach just pointed me at Swurl, which I'll take a look at.

UPDATE: Action Streams is killing the servers in the background for this blog, so has been discontinued. Still looking at different options for this.

One request I do have of my loyal readers, is that if you subscribe through a feed please delete and resubscribe so you are picking up the updated version! Of course any comments and feedback would be welcome.

Over the last year or so I've added The Tyee to my reading list. It describes itself as "your independent alternative daily newspaper reaching every corner of B.C. and beyond."

I like it because it tends to cover different types of story in a different kind of way. It seems to do some great investigative work and really gives a different slant of life here in B.C.

I'm pleased to report that under the Resouces section of the site they have a section called BC Blogs. Under the top section New This Month you will find ... The Moosehat Blog. Thank you The Tyee, great to have a link up there.

I recommend checking The Tyee out - it's very interesting reading.
