Is This Thing On?

Well hello! Welcome to the relaunched Film Blather! I hope you like it. The new look and implementation is by the brilliant Matt Brett, whom I heartily endorse for all of your WordPress and web design needs.

Take a poke around the new digs and let me know what you think in the comments or on Twitter. It’ll take me a couple of weeks to really get rolling. Though I continue to have a demanding day job (which is actually pretty rewarding and great, and also paid for this beautiful redesign and enables my film festival trips, so it’s all good), I’ve tried to steer this new incarnation of the site toward permitting me to write more often, in many cases by permitting me to write shorter. Hence this blog, which will mostly host links, announcements, and random non-review thoughts, and the “Short Reviews” functionality, which is what it sounds like and will permit me to write drive-by capsules in addition to the long-players, which I expect will continue apace.

So, I’ll be seeing you around, yes?
