The End of Rene’s Points

The end an era as a plane takes off into the sunset

This is the last ever Rene’s Points post.

In just a few hours, I flip a switch.

But don’t freak out and get all sad. (Or celebrate, hah!)

I’m not turning the switch off.

On the contrary, in fact.

I’ll turn on a brand new name and site design. (No, the site won’t be called “Chris’ Points” 🙂 )

I wanted to give you a heads-up so you’re not entirely surprised when you next visit RenesPoints.com and see something different. We expect our “move” to be complete sometime on Wednesday.

Longtime readers will likely have a number of questions. I know some people will be eager to know if René was onboard with the change — and if he’ll write for the blog anymore. I’ll address that in a separate post.

Stay tuned!

And thank you. I’m excited to have you on board the next leg of this blog’s journey.

— Chris

    I hope the change is in the right direction and not the bowtie guy or TPG direction.

    Redesign looks nice but I’d suggest taking another look at the font. Looks nice visually but the thin style makes for hard reading!
