No one has called me on this yet, but this blog used to be much more plentiful. The history is easy: back when I was still building Web sites as 80% of my marketing activity, I used to worry that I didn’t know database architecture well enough. Seriously, it would keep me up at night. Then, one day, I got a life and realized that as long as I knew how to talk to database architects, I would be fine. Turns out I was sadly misguided wrong.

When I relaunched my site and migrated servers all at once, I learned how important the differences are between whatever ancient version of MySQL I had been using and what’s on my new server. Turns out, you can corrupt a database pretty easily if you just wing it, and so, my old blog is dead. Long live the blog, I suppose.

So here we are, the new blog is underway, slowly but surely. And I’ve made sure to enroll in a few database courses over at Lynda.com. It seemed a fitting way to close the barn doors now that the horses have escaped.

Happy reading!
