NEW DOMAIN! After kind of a ridiculous run-about way of doing things, I've had to purchase a new hosting package and domain for this site. Now christophermanzanares.com and fantasyconstruct.com are both one and the same. Christophermanzanares.com will take 24-48 hours to reinitiate itself and sink with the new server. Fantasy Construct is the name I use for my blog as well as my Facebook fan page, so I figured that the domain name was the next logical step, it's also easier for people to spell and shorter to type out. Hopefully I won't have this many problems when it comes time to renew, next year! Cheers: to my first successful year online, and for many more to come!

Please click any of these links to My Blog or click on the image below to check out what's going on. You can also follow my blog and leave comments and thoughts about the work.
