Website relaunch is live!

Hey follower(s)!  It has been a long time, but I’m glad to be back, and I’m glad to see you!

The new and improved rextwedt.com is now live!

The look and feel of the site has changed, and there are plenty of new projects for you to check out. There is also a lot that has changed behind the scenes. I used several modern development tools when creating this site, including Gulp, SASS, Node.js, Bootstrap, and Jquery.

Hopefully you will make your way over to the site and check it out, and hopefully I will see you around here a little more frequently in the future. Later!
