I started my HTML-based website in 1996, a long time ago when the internet was new and websites were just beginning. Since 2008, it remained HTML-based, but I gradually added a WordPress blog to keep things fresh for my audience.

In the coming weeks and months, I plan to make it look nicer by trying out different themes and customizing elements to match my vision. I want to improve user experience, make navigation easier, and possibly include new multimedia content.
