Welcome to the new and improved Mike Went West! I’ve made a ton of changes in an effort to improve your browsing experience. One of the more noticeable changes is the top banner image, which now prominently displays my blog name. Another big change is the drop-down menu system under the banner. This should help in browsing the archives (which are all finally available now). I’ve also modified the popular articles section in the side bar to display the most viewed articles from the past day, week, month, and year.

I’ve made significant changes to individual article pages. First, I added Twitter and Facebook integration so you can more easily share my site with your friends (if you are so inclined). Second, I added a related articles section at the end of each post to make it easier to find similar articles. And third, I added threaded comments to facilitate dialogue on my site.

Some sections and pages may not display properly yet; however, most everything should be functional. I’ll be rolling out additional site improvements over the next few weeks, so check back regularly. Enjoy!
