Well, there are a few sections of the Italian site where my Italian still needs to be checked, but I think my new site design is ready to be announced to the world! So here it is, my new WordPress.org site for my business, drane.it!

Here’s a quick rundown of the most important changes introduced with this new design:

Social networking (Web 2.0) features:
- Twitter updates to announce my availability
- iPhone version of the site
- this blog, which I will use to write about translating and copy editing

Changes to my services:
- added alternative energy as a specialization
- increased focus on copy editing, literature and philosophy
- optimized business fields to increase efficiency (e.g. no more marketing or legal texts)

I may talk more about some of these features in future blog entries, but I wanted to highlight the Twitter stream right now. Following my Twitter feed (and joining Twitter if you don’t already have an account) is the easiest, fastest way to track what I’m up to and when I’ll be free to take on more work, but you can also check my web site and follow the links provided here to check my Twitter stream even without a Twitter account.

I’ll also be using my Twitter feed to announce new blog entries and for other microblogging related to my work, and since Twitter is becoming a mainstream phenomenon, I highly encourage you to give it a try if you haven’t already.

I also have a personal Twitter stream and blog, as well as a few other social networking contact points – FriendFeed in particular. So if you’re interested in what I do when I’m not working, please do check those out, too!

So now add my blog’s RSS feed to your feed reader of choice for all the latest news and musings about me and my work, and let me know what you think of my new site by leaving a comment below.

Thanks!
