Tai Chi Chuan Webpages by Michael P. Garofalo

 

Dear Mike,

First of all my compliments and thanks for the vast knowledge base you have created. It is great to see how much effort you have put in Green Way Research!

 

According to the website egreenway.com you no longer curate it. Correct?
What are your plans about it?

Since it has been over the years a major help on Tai Chi for me, I offer to keep curating it as subdomain on my Tai Chi website. Hopefully that does not offend you, just an offer and hommage and tribute to you “Created by Michael P. Garofalo (1998–2023). Preserved with permission by …” 

Is this an option for you?

 

Kind regards,

Gerbrandt van Santen

Gerbrandt van Santen,

Thank you for the positive feedback. 

You are quite welcome to use any of my webpages on your website.
At age 80, my interests have been shifting and my energy declining.

Hopefully, if any of my webpages still have value, others are welcome to use them.  

Best wishes with your web publishing efforts.  I have enjoyed indie web publishing since 1998.

Thank you very much!

The website will be https://taichi-panda.com. I will mail you a link when the (sub)site is live.

Kind regards,

Gerbrandt

Dear Mike,

Sunday afternoon in Haarlem. Since today, Green Way Research is online again/as well:

https://biblio.taichi-panda.com

All 784 pages are there, as you wrote them. I only repaired the links between the pages and removed the old counters and tracking scripts. At the top of the homepage it now says: "Green Way Research was created by Michael P. Garofalo (1998–2023). Preserved with his permission."

One thing struck me when I opened it. Your translate button still works. A reader in Haarlem sees the whole library in Dutch, with one click. I had not noticed that before.

It came at the right moment. I am in conversation with the Tai Chi for Health Institute of Dr. Paul Lam about translating his books into European languages. There are about 60 TCHI trainers in Europe, in 11 countries where English is not the first language. What you built years ago, a library that speaks the language of its reader, is exactly what their website could use.

New subjects will go into a separate section, "Continued", so it stays clear where your work ends and mine begins.

One question. Your homepage still has "Contact Mike by Email", with a link to your mail page. Would you like to keep that visible, or shall I remove it?

"Be well, do good work, and keep in touch."
