This page contains recent writing on the site – a bit of a shock, I know – or recent modifications which means you will see both Blog posts (which are summaries of recent updates on the site plus occasional forays off into other subjects) and Travel Portfolio posts (which are the main pieces of travel writing you’ll find on this site, comprising reviews, photos, and travelogues), and you’ll see them in most recently-updated order. This is because I occasionally revisit older posts and rewrite them, and because I occasionally add a new feature to the site and need an easy way to track what’s been changed using the modified date of posts.

So, if you want to see just the newest blog posts in the order in which they were most recently published you can take a look at the Blog page. If you want to see the most recently published travelogue, review, or photo update then the Travel Portfolio will list those. To see content from both categories of website posts but in the order in which I’ve most recently made a change then this is the page for you.

A page that has to explain its purpose is probably something serious website owners frown upon, but fortunately I’m not one of them. And I’m fully aware that nobody cares enough to browse a site these days, making a page like this mostly pointless, and that it’s all about the instant gratification from clicks, but, as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, this site is for me and my memories mainly. And I like to tinker with things so this was fun to do as well.
