Hey reader! A short entry to announce and document my blog’s rebrand. These are the main changes:

It’s been a while since I wrote for my blog. I had been busy publishing mostly on vaadin.com and dzone.com, but I do want to keep this one alive and this rebrand is proof of my motivation. I wanted to move the focus to the content rather than the author’s profile. So, I found a Blogger theme that fits this purpose well. It doesn’t show lateral menus all full of me, me, and me. Instead, most of the space is organized around the articles without distracting images and with the important information highlighted. At the bottom of the pages, you can always find a footer with more information about the website.

From now on, I’ll try to share useful information around programming, software development, Java and its ecosystem, Vaadin, databases, and other technical topics. I also want to share thoughts on Developer Relations (or Developer Advocacy) and open-source community management. You can always send suggestions on topics that you would like me to discuss as well. I’d love to hear from you!

Big thanks to Sandpatrol for the design, NewBloggerThemes.com for the theme, and Blogger for the hosting.
