About Time! .... I'm Back!

  Time Flies!!  It has been a while since my last post!  I have been so busy with work and teaching that I haven't had a chance to write. Unfortunately, Blogger is not making it easy anymore!  I cannot longer post from my iPhone unless I pay for the app.  That's not cool!  I'm considering moving my blog to another blog site (preferably a free blogging site). I'm not sure which one to select.  Perhaps, you can provide some recommendations. Here are some of the blogs I'm looking at: Wix Yola Weebly Medium Ghost Joomla WordPress.com Tumblr WordPress  (self-hosted) etc... You can also find me in: Twitter:   @Mirkeya Instagram:  @DrMirkeya Look forward to your recommendations!!
