New Blog for Kyusho Canada

After using blogger for a number of years for different purposes, I have now created a domain and new blog setup for Kyusho Canada.

I am doing this for several reason. One, it will allow me much better control of the site. I guess this is obvious. Second, full control over the domain name.
