I am currently trying to modernize my webpage.
I created that with a piece of software that came with "Microsoft office 2000" = FrontPage 2000 - which is now 20 years old.
As such my present website is not able to keep up with smartphones and all that kind of modern hi-tech stuff.
Maybe the new version
* http://einklang.com/wordpress/
can help there.
With an instruction manual in one hand I am still trying to figure out, how this Wordpress thing works.
Probably I am making a lot of mistakes all over the place.
Please let me know, if you do have any suggestions.
Thank you.

WFAS 2016 --- oh, please ...
I have thought for a while, whether I should say/write this here. Finally I made my decision.
In November this year a world conference about acupuncture (WFAS 2016) will be held in Japan. People working in this field probably know this for a long time already.
When I registered the other day via the website set up for the WFAS 2016 I noticed, that the English of that website is of embarrassingly poor quality. Although I contacted (mail) first the secretariat of the conference and second the secretariat of the "Japan Society of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" (JSAM = organizer), neither of these offices considered it necessary to reply to my mail .. or what would have been MUCH better .. correct the mistakes.
I have been trying to 'advertise' the good aspects of Japan (and/or Japanese acupuncture) to the world for about 20 years.
This website looks to me like a deliberate attempt at demonstrating to the world at large, that the Japanese are stupid and don't give a dime about what other people think. Thereby also thwarting my efforts to promote the "MADE IN JAPAN" brand.
I am not really open to the suggestion/excuse, that the organize has not enough money. The general participation fee is about USD 500. Assuming 500 participants register, a not very unrealistic figure, the organizer collects USD 250,000 to run the show. There surely should be 500 USD to ask an agency to draft a proper text. If anybody would ask me (which nobody does!), I would call it a disgrace.
Please! Send them a note. Maybe if a number of non-Japanese people would complain about the strange English, the people in charge might finally wake up ...

Download links
A while ago, I believe, I mentioned here that I wrote apart from one printed book three other ebooks.
Since they do not sell AT ALL (unfortunately), I decided to put links to the files on my website, so they can be downloaded for free (I would appreciate, though, if maybe 1 or copies were bought ...):
http://www.einklang.com/Books.htm
When I tried to access the files from somebody elses computer, I noticed that the links were broken.
Hopefully I have fixed those now. The "Google Drive" link allows to view the files without downloading.
Thank you for your interest.
