Moving Day!
After months of setbacks, stupid mistakes and painful collisions with my own ignorance, The Hellenophile has moved to its new home at DouglasAnders.com. The software running the site has also changed, from Radio to Textpattern; the transition has been a little rough, and there are still some hard edges over at the new site, but mostly things work. the basement is dry, the roof doesn't leak, the plumbing only makes scary noises when you flush. I'm chalking this one up as a stunning upset victory by the technologically inept.

If you care, my personal blog, The Agora, will be staying right here on Salon Blogs.

Sorry, but there is no automatic re-direct. Setting up my own domain, configuring new software and completely redesigning the site has drained my already meager geek powers. You'll just have to get there the old fashioned way. Likewise, anyone who reads this blog through syndication will have to re-subscribe to the new feed. If you like, the new site does have an Atom feed, if that is your favored format.

Eleni Gage
This week's Parade magazine--possibly included with your Sunday paper--includes an article by Eleni Gage, daughter of Nicholas Gage, about returning to the village her family came from and restoring her grandmother's house. The article won't be available on-line until August 16.

Gage's grandmother was Eleni Gatzoyiannis, the subject of Nicholas Gage's book Eleni, a woman whose memory still influences life in the tiny village of Lia. If you aren't familiar with the story of Eleni, this is a good introduction. If you have read the book, this story is a pleasant coda. Eleni Gage has written a book about her restoration of the family house, North of Ithaka that will be published next year by St. Martin's. If you can't wait, it can be purchased now through Amazon.co.uk.
