Hello and welcome, visitors new and old.
Nextequalzero.com is the shiny new home for my Microsoft Dynamics NAV blog, previously hosted alongside my personal blog at revolution1210.com
Why has it moved?
There are three main reasons:
- I wanted a specific domain for my Dynamics NAV blog posts.
- I wanted to switch to a cheaper, open source friendly web host
- I wanted to switch to the WordPress blogging/cms platform
The blogs previous home was entirely hand crafted in classic ASP and was somewhat frustrating to maintain at times.
The upshot of all this being that I will hopefully be able to dedicate more time to posting.
If you subscribed to the old site, please feel free to do so again.

One which grabbed my attention was their intention to build in RSS support, enabling us to subscribe to content and receive updates via our favorite news readers.
This is good news indeed.
