“Practicing” architecture is moving from a profession that focuses on building buildings as its highest calling, to a lifestyle that appreciates the beauty of architectural design, real or fantastic. This shift has two underlying realities. Just like the musician who lives his art, or the athlete who loves her sport, there are people that love architectural design, deeply, but fewer architects are needed to create buildings in this generation. — Common Edge
"The lack of need is based on less construction activity (a normal cycle, but now longer than any living architect has experienced) and the fact that technology has pre-empted the body count necessary per building design."

Duo, respect for your track record of keeping the bills paid and your employees employed.
You can set up a wordpress site quickly and easily, and have it organised in a similar manner to what you already have, except that it won't look like it misses its .geocities.com surname.
It won't be prohibitively expensive or time consuming, either. You already have the content.
