Rod Taylor News and Site Updates
Jan. 11, 2011
The Rod Taylor
Blog has begun! See my new year's resolutions below for more
information. Future site updates will be done at the blog page.
Most of the pasts posts on this Update page have been incorporated
throughout the site as appropriate.

Happy New Year, Rod Taylor fans! A lot has been happening since my last
post, including a magical trip to Los Angeles that included a visit with
the lovely Carol Taylor! Here she is with yours truly on the staircase
lined with Rod's artwork.
You may recognize that staircase from this photo of Carol with Rod and
their dog from a magazine article in 1998.
Which brings me to the Rod Taylor Site resolutions for 2020. On Jan. 11,
Rod's birthday, I'll be launching a long-thought-about
blog to accompany
the website. I'll use it to announce updates to the site and to write
about events like the California trip, new finds from the Rod archives,
details about his life and work, and more. It'll be a bit more personal
than this Update page, too, with opportunities for readers to comment
and interact.
The big resolution is aimed at Jan. 11, 2021, which will mark the 20th
anniversary of this website! Twenty years! That's eons in internet time!
Anyway, I'll be working on redesigning the website this year to make it
easier to view on mobile devices. It'll be a big undertaking, as I'll be
learning new technology and rebuilding a huuuuuge website. I'm looking
forward to the challenge. I've been wanting to do this for a few years,
but the learning curve and the size of the job has been scaring me off.
But I'm full of resolve! (Which I hope does not wane after this day of
resolutions!)
Happy new year, everyone!

Rod Taylor participated in a rare autograph signing session on Jan. 31,
2014.
The OC Dugout, also known as Orange County Sportscards, held a private
autograph signing session with Rod, and the results are
posted at the ocsportscard store on eBay. The items are pricey but
beautiful! Below is one of the photos they took of Rod during his
signing.
