New Name, Look, and Features

After 5+ years and nearly 300 postings, this blog is getting a new name, look, and features.

The name, “Words & Numbers,” is what I would have called it from the beginning, had I known what this blog would be about. But I discovered its aboutness along the way.

The new look and features come with a change of blog platform, from TypePad to Google’s Blogger. Most of the features are minor improvements, such as better support of mobile devices and social sharing. However, I also took the opportunity to redo the topic labels, improve the typography, and add a Best Of section.

Finally, for people who follow via RSS: Sorry for the old items in your RSS reader. The platform change caused that. If you mark everything read, all will be back to normal going forward.

Update, June 1, 2026: The blog transitioned from Blogger to a custom Astro application in 2026.
