I’m excited to share that the redesigned version of joshuabellendir.com is officially up and running. My previous site design was more than five years old and starting to feel outdated, so I decided it was time for a fresh start. This new version is built on a modern content management system (CMS), which makes it far easier to update and expand as I continue adding new material.
Over the coming weeks, I plan to publish more content throughout the site. I’ll be adding past publications, creating a dedicated Tutorials section, and using this blog to share updates on my work, interests, and ongoing projects.
On a personal note, I’ve also enrolled in the Japan Market Expansion Competition (JMEC). It’s a six-month program with seminars, workshops, and a team-based business plan competition focused on companies entering or scaling in the Japanese market. While there’s a prize for the winning team, the real value is the learning experience and networking. Between my professional responsibilities and JMEC, the next few months are shaping up to be both busy and rewarding.
It took a long night to get this new site launched, and there’s still plenty more I want to build. But for now—it’s live, it’s functioning, and I’m looking forward to growing it from here.
