After many years, dennisdesantis.com 2.0 has arrived. (An aside: technically, this is more like 5.0. I’ve been maintaining a personal website for about 15 years. I started even before Geocities existed – yes, there was such a time. Early versions had things like lens flare effects. If you’ve been keeping track this long, you’re either a slightly creepy stalker or you’re my mother.)

As you can see, the new site features a cleaner, minimal design, and no longer has the confusing division between “Latest News” and “Journal.” Now the whole thing functions as a blog, which means maybe I’ll actually update now and then.

Other features include:

• an updated score store, with automatic downloading after a purchase. I no longer have to email files manually, meaning you could buy stuff from me even if I died. Hurray for technology.
• locally-hosted audio files. No more broken links. No more relying on flakey record companies to maintain accurate archives of their backstock.
• an events calendar, that automatically removes things once they’re finished. (Hint: I can only add events if I know about them. So if you’re playing a piece of mine, let me know.)
• an RSS feed, if you’d prefer to read my latest musings alongside stuff from proper news outlets in some fancy-pants feed aggregator.
• all the goodies that a modern blogging platform can provide, such as tags, commenting, etc. There’s really little reason for you to visit any other websites anymore.

Thanks for reading.
