A new place for my blog

Hello friends!

Important news for all who are reading my blog here:

While the rework of my main website I have made some basic changes. From now all my web presentations will be found at one place:

Visit my new blog here

 www.christoph-werner.de 

What does this mean for this blog?

• The archives of this blog will not be changed. So if you are looking for something special from my past posts, just use this blog.
• But all my future posts will be found on my new blog. Some new infos are already there.

I am shure you understand my decision and hope all people will visit my new blog as often as this one.

As you know I am located in germany, so there is some german text of course. But nearly all blog posts are still in english and can be read by the international audience.

But enough text! Take a look at my new website.

Thank you all for your support here!
