spring cleaning

Spring is a time of renewal, and for many folks it’s also time for a little spring cleaning. We move the furniture, dust and vacuum, maybe declutter a bit, and then clean off the deck and put out the outdoor furniture. And when it’s all done, it’s nice to have a clean and decluttered environment.

Emerging Horizons & Candy’s Blog

The same can be also said for creative works, like this blog. Sometimes they also need a little spring cleaning.  I’ve been writing about accessible travel for nearly 30 years, and I started this blog back in 2004, to compliment some of my other work. I wasn’t really sure what a blog was back then, so I got a domain and used it as an editorial platform to compliment Emerging Horizons (EmergingHorizons.com). And back then Emerging Horizons was a print publication.

Things have certainly changed since 2004. Today Emerging Horizons still has the same great content, but it’s only available online. It’s free for everybody, not behind a pay firewall. And there’s still no advertising. Late last year we decided that the website was due for a little “spring cleaning” so Charles and I sat down and decided what we wanted to change and he set out to code it all.

And now it’s ready to re-launch. We’ve removed outdated pieces, given the site a more modern design and improved the navigation; but one of the bigger changes involves this blog. Previously it had a separate URL, but now everything is under one roof. This will not only make it easier for readers to access my blog, but it will also compliment the content of Emerging Horizons.

And you’ll still find accessible travel information and resources in my blog, and of course my own editorial comments thrown in for good measure.  So although I’ve got a new address, my focus remains the same — providing unbiased accessible travel information for wheelchair-users and slow walkers.

Enjoy!
