Mendosa.com is Updated and Improved:
The webmaster of Mendosa.com, Abhijit, just completed a major upgrade of Diabetes Developments: A Blog On Latest Developments in Diabetes, the most important part of this site. This part of Mendosa.com includes almost all of the 900 or so articles that I have written about diabetes since 2005.
Abhijit is such a great webmaster that he has been doing this work for Mendosa.com for the past 10 years. He based the upgrade on the best available software, WordPress, and the new blog is fresh, clean, and mobile-friendly. Comments on my blog posts, which have not been possible for the past few months, are available again and encouraged.
We postponed this newsletter by two weeks in order to tell you here about the upgrade. Please do let us know if you find any of the inevitable bugs that always happen in such a big change. Is there anything you particularly like or dislike about the new blog? You can email me your feedback to [email protected]
