Fresh start for 2026 and beyond
Hey everyone,
Happy almost-New Year! As we close out 2025 and step into 2026, I'm excited to officially launch the new version of Mike's Blog on our very own custom platform.
We've completely upgraded to a brand-new blog CMS built from the ground up by Web Design Daddy. This means faster loading, cleaner design, better organization, and a system that will grow with us for years to come.
None of the previous blog posts will be deleted — they've been safely archived. After 20+ years of blogging, migrating thousands of entries from the old system would have been a massive (and honestly, a bit crazy) undertaking.
So instead, we've preserved everything exactly as it was.
If you're looking for any of my older content — from the early days all the way through 2025 — you can find it all at:
This main blog page (mikesblog.com/posts/) will now feature only the fresh content starting in 2026 — a clean slate for new stories, reflections, temple visits, business thoughts, family adventures, and everything else I've always shared here.
Thank you for sticking around through all the years and changes. I'm looking forward to writing more consistently again, sharing real experiences, and connecting with all of you in this new chapter.
Here's to a great 2026 and many more years of blogging ahead.
