About This Site

My home page is based on WordPress, my studies, my reading of literature, philosophy, languages and ample experience with people from around the globe. I am indebted to my parents for their guidance and support. I am happy about my family. Last but not least I want to thank the amazing artists from unsplash.com, freepik.com, thenounproject.com and pixabay.com who provide the wonderful images used here.

Technical Notes

After an attempt to use Joomla! on a larger scale for my homepage I have switched to WordPress for homepage as well as blog and integrated both into one. Although I appreciate Joomla’s sophisticated and complex setup options, for a smaller site like this WordPress is better suited.

Blog – Disclaimer

This blog is about my thoughts or ideas, can be emotional and very subjective, thus although ‘article’ has become a common term for blog posts, the strict form and content rules of newspapers or journals will not necessarily be observed here.
Links to external content mean simply a reference to that particular page. I do not declare any agreement with or approval of other content on the same site, or sites linked to from there.
