For 3 years until March 2010 when I stopped blogging for a long while, my En Avant website enjoyed some success, attracting readers from all over the world (over 62,000 unique visitors since the site began). But even dormant sites need management, so I’m shutting down this site to keep life simple. I’ve reposted 115 of the 1087 En Avant articles - the ones I think are the most enduring - on the ISAMBARD website. I may even add some new ones, though I doubt that I’ll be as prolific a writer as before.
