Welcome to BLU//SAS!

Today sees the birth of this website!! Long may it live!!!

The question we are all asking is: Is it a good time/year to start a website/Wordpress site? and Why?

Well, of course the answer is in the question – only time will give you the correct answer, but meanwhile, my answer will be of course, yes!

So why a WordPress site and why a site at all?

Over a decade ago, I started working with WordPress, and even though this platform can be full of security issues, it has survived and evolved as the year gone by, with its popularity still riding high as some contemporary (e.g. Joomla and Drupal). With all the newer tech and frameworks available, it is still fast to set up and easy to use – get things published and read! And so here I am…

In 2010, I installed a WordPress Multi-site for the University of St Andrews, and it is still going strong now: https://wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/. In 2011, I set up a forum site using WordPress and bbPress – this is also going strong: https://myhumax.org/forum/ – with nearly 20,000 members!

I am hoping that this install will grow into a huge and long lasting site!
