Over the next few weeks this blog will be undergoing some renovation. Not so much in the way it looks, because God knows I've fiddled with that stuff enough, but more in the content side of things. This mostly for two reasons:
Firstly, the Boggo Blog has been running for about three years now, and much like a cluttered garage the hundred-plus posts here contain a bit of irrelevant deadwood, some boring crap, and some stuff I really liked. It's time for a good solid spring clean.
Secondly, and even though the spiel down the left sidebar includes the disclaimer "opinions expressed on this page are not necessarily those of the BRGHS", I want to make it clearer that this is my page and not the Boggo Road Gaol Historical Society's. That way, anybody who takes offence at what I write here can't go squealing like a stuck pig about the BRGHS. Hypothetically speaking of course. Although I might sometimes write about issues affecting the BRGHS, I'm only one of a few hundred members and it's not my fiefdom.
Making this more obviously my own page allows a bit more freedom topic-wise too, so I'll be dipping more into some of other things I've studied through life.
Also... there is now a new Boggo Blog Facebook page, which will not only link in with the stuff here but also feature its own array of special bits and pieces. Whoopee-do.
