markdwg.wordpress.com has moved to www.limyumu.com
Dear Readers,
Thank you for supporting this blog during the last 1.5-years.
Readership for this blog has increased from an initial 900 per month to the current 3300 per month on average, although this is not a fantastic statistic it has exceeded what I had expected when I first created it.
Thanks to advice from my friend John, I’ve decided to start a new site with my own domain.
The new site is an actual website, so it will be easier to navigate through some of the topics I have posted up or will post in future. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to transfer all content on this blog to the new one, but I will keep markdwg.wordpress.com untouched here…….at least until wordpress decides to remove it.
Please continue to support my new blog which will be accessible through a link on my website, there is a contact form on the home page, do let me know how I can improve it or if you have any questions regarding real estate in Singapore feel free to contact me, I value feedback of any kind.
