Finally it’s now exactly the 2008-12-23 at 00:00 AM and I’m back. Read on to see what changed and what’s going to come.

The Blog

Finally, after 50 days I’m back with a new design, improved layout and the structure. Now there is a much less cluttered sidebar and a well positioned Flickr stream - at the top - here at my blog.

Second, i reimported all posts I wrote over the last year since I’m writing this blog. Why I did this? I’ll publish a own post about this in the future, stay tuned.

Third, the place changed a bit. Till yesterday - few seconds ago -, the blog was placed at cspiegl.com/blog now it’s just cspiegl.com that’s cause I think the blog should be the main part and not just one in the background. And the second reason is that the about page is much better placed at whereischristoph.com which brings up the next point.

New About Page

I created a new about page which was inspired by some other pages I discovered over the web, but manly by the one of Michael Mistretta (http://whereismichael.net). It’s a clean easy way to find out where you can find information about me and where I do my stuff for example the link to my flickr stream, twitter profile, my facebook profile and of course to this blog.

KwasK.com and KwasK.de

That wasn’t the last I changed, I also had another page for a long time. The page I’m talking about was KwasK.de for the most time and than about one year ago as I were hitting new areas of the internet, I got KwasK.com. But now after a year of KwasK.com and about 3 years of KwasK.de I thought about the use of the domain and came to an ending, in which this two domains are no more exist. So I simply got rid of the two domains which means that I don’t own them any more. They KwasK.com will stay online and linked till the 24 of January 2009 and KwasK.de will stay online till the 06 of June 2009 and both will have a CLOSING page online for the rest of their lives. So far about KwasK.com, I’ll post more on that soon, especially about the reason why I got rid of this domains.

Business-Card

In the last few month I tried to overwork my complete online brand. But not just the online brand, I also worked at the offline brand. I’m going to post a picture of the card and a down loadable version the day after tomorrow. I’m pretty satisfied by the result and that’s manly cause I thought so long about getting a own business-card and now finally it’s here and great looking. I simply can give it away and not just write my email or homepage address on a crappy paper. If you have a blog and want to contact with people offline for example at a conference or a congress - like the 25c3 where I’m going to be and post in the next few days about - you’re willing to have a business-card in place so that anyone who asks you for your email, you just give them a little card with all information needed. The second reason is if you are a designer, you can instantly show your abilities to the person in front of you - about this I’m also going to post a own post, why I did my business-card the way I did it.

Future?

So, that’s it for now. With this post I start a series of posts which are going to be more in depth information about why I made my decisions the way I made them. So if you’re interested, stay tuned - maybe subscribe to the blog? - and give me some feedback or contact me if you want.
