New year (ish), new blog, new socks

April is still classed as New Year, yeah? Anyway, hello again to anyone who thought I'd dropped out of the blogosphere completely and wandered off - it was a fair assumption, because I pretty much had. Even worse, since my webhost had a massive server brain-belch last year and wiped all trace of my website off the face of the earth, I have been both siteless and unblogged for the last 12 months or so. Not good. But not anymore! I'm halfway through building a new site and, having decided I don't want to have to frequently update the frontpage as I did with the old one, I'm going to use this here blog as my news feed for site updates, information and general chitchat. That means, yes, I *am* going to keep it reasonably up to date. Honest. I've imported most of the old posts from Panel Beat (my old blog), and will be shutting it down in the near future. So if you're one of the four or so people who had a link to it, change it to victorianclam.blogspot.com. Ta.

I hope - really hope - that the next post will be telling you that www.laurahowell.co.uk is back up and running, but I'd hate to make rash promises. Watch this space...
