I haven't updated my dear old website for a few years (because life was moving fast and the process of uploading files to the site was painfully complicated), and a recent invoice revealed that the cost of hosting it was rising to more than a dollar a day, which made me realise that this arrangement was rather a waste of money.

As a temporary fix, I have now created permanent "pages" on this blogspot account, including one for my homepage, to which my domain name www.michaelgross.co.uk points, as well as an updated version of my whoIam biography page and the list of my books. This was also an opportunity to get rid of the numerous am*zon links I still had on my book pages from the early days before enshittification. I'm giving up on the list of all my articles, which I hadn't updated beyond December 2020 and on the family history page as these activities are now better represented by the relevant tags on the blog. The hosting service of the website ends on February 2nd.
A history of my website is here. The full version continues to exist on my hard drive and various USB sticks of course, so I may resurrect it elsewhere at some point, maybe on the occasion of its 30th birthday in December ...
Update 25.1.2026: I created a new portal to navigate family history blog entries in the shape of a permanent Who Is Who page.
