It’s been more than a year since I last wrote and I wanted to update you all - things have changed a bit round here! The old self-hosted blog was becoming a problem, with seemingly constant technical problems or attempted hackings and it just was becoming more hassle (and costing more!) than it was worth.
I just wanted to be free again to focus purely on the writing. I’d enjoyed all the tinkering with building a website over the years but it just wasn’t sustainable anymore time-wise.
So I took the decision to move all the old content over to Substack, still keeping my ArabianNotes.com domain name active and transferring it over here.
Although I haven’t been as active with writing on Arabian Notes as I once was, I feel very attached to all the work I created here and I just couldn’t bear to let it all go.
Plus, I am still living in Abu Dhabi and not a week goes by when I don’t have a new idea for a post, so I do plan to continue to write on here when the mood takes me.
I currently have a post or two in the works so all being well, you will hear from me with again soon!
