Hi there,
Welcome. And if you have stopped by previously at the different incarnation of this blog, welcome to the new pond. After much ruminating I have finally settled on a way to have all of Koi Pond Counseling’s web presence hosted in the same place. So this blog, as well as the Koi Pond Counseling website, are all here at www.koipondcounseling.com.
Not too much has changed in appearance regarding this site, but lots of things in the background have, thereby making it much easier for me to update both the website and the blog. This is a lot for me given that I do not do any coding and my primary job is providing counseling services to my clients. Previously my blog was hosted at blogger; the website was hosted by yahoo and build with an old and clunky web-design software that was difficult to update; and I was also responsible for the content management. Way too much. So I sat down one day and identified those things that were getting in the way of keeping the information and content fresh. I discovered it was too much work to write both the content and update the site, so I went looking for another way to do it. This is the result.
For now not too much has changed on the face of things other than marrying the blog with the rest of the site. However I do have some things in the planning and execution stages for the website. Soon there will be a “Resources” page with links to relevant websites, a “Library” page with links to helpful books with topics ranging from addiction to interpersonal neurobiology to parenting to psychological and spiritual development, and a section with helpful information for compulsive gamblers and their families. I will announce theses changes as they come online here on the blog as well as on the Facebook Fan Page (www.facebook.com/KoiPondCounseling).
Now that the behind the scenes work has been completed I will be able to provide more content and look forward to connecting with you here on the blog.
My best regards,
Brian
