HobbySpace.com<\/strong><\/a> is dedicated to the notion that there are space related activities and hobbies that will appeal to everyone, regardless of their background, education, or age. Participation in such activities and hobbies can provide a sense of involvement in humanity’s expansion into the cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A space related hobby or activity can be technical, such as rocketry<\/a> or space radio<\/a>, or non-technical, such as space art<\/a> and music<\/a>. Just browse around HobbySpace to find a space that’s right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space-for-All<\/strong><\/a>, the HobbySpace blog, provides posts dealing with topics ranging from the month’s night sky highlights to amateur satellites to the latest advancements towards habitats and settlements in space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Site Remodeling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When HobbySpace began in 1999, link listings were the primary tools used to find information of interest on the web. HobbySpace grew to offer extensive link lists for web resources for the space related activities and hobbies mentioned above. When search engines arrived, however, this sort of link list service lost popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blog remained active but over time the link lists became rusty and seldom updated. (The editor, i.e. me Clark Lindsey, became distracted with various jobs and projects.) While the blog was delivered by the WordPress content management system, most of the site, including the homepage, remained as static HTML pages, which is a terribly outmoded way to operate a website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So after years of procrastinating, I am finally converting most all of the site to a WordPress architecture. The old static pages, though, will still be available via the Sections Archive menu shown in the left column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than trying to build up long lists of links, the new pages will focus on introductory information and current developments in particular activities and hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
