Apparently I have figured out how to make my domain name forward to my Blogger account. So you can now go directly to the page you’re at now or you can use www.englishtraveller.org and you will be automatically redirected.

Being that one of my reasons to return to Europe is for Jay’s university I found this article in the Times today fascinating.
