Thanks for your kind words of support, jk. This is my first experience using WordPress as a CMS, and its extensibility is quite remarkable. The hard part — the learning design part perhaps — is figuring out what to include and what to leave out. Thanks for letting me know that some of the decisions were the right ones!
Dear Shanta,
A belated Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to you! Just a note to say how impressed I am with your website — the way you categorized the different types of notes you take, the way interesting graphics/photos show up in certain pages, the way text-to-speech is employed, the thoughtful way that you composed your notes… Truly very neat and very clever. That\’s why I\’ve been visiting and revisiting your site.
rgds,
