Status on moving flyinggalindo.com to galindo.me
Around the end of January, I decided to move flyinggalindo.com to a new hosting account and set it up on a new domain name, galindo.me. I reinstalled WordPress and restored my posts. Most of the move went off without a hitch, but file references to images on several older posts were broken. I’m in the process of fixing those issues. While going through those posts, I’m also finding some links to external sites that also need updating. I’m going through an audit of those as well. I should have the major posts cleaned up by the end of the week. Thanks for your patience.

Know the standards.
Know when to follow the rules.
Know when to think outside of the box.
Know when to break the rules.
Sometimes it’s tough to know when. Sometimes you just need to go for it.
Thinking outside of the box. Breaking the rules.
