I’ve been exhausted lately due to work and a busy social calendar. This means I haven’t been able to devote much to reconfiguring this blog till today.
I have quite the To Do list. Namely, turn off registered comments, or else Jim will never visit me again, and I need his traffic spill-over. I also need to put archives on and tag everything. For now, if you need to search the blog for an old article, please use the Technorati Search box in the bottom of the left sidebar. Or you can use the embedded search box on the bottom of the right sidebar.
What I have changed:
I put in a new feed count chicklet from Feedburner. I’m scared of deleting my old feed, so please, if you are an individual subscriber, consider picking up the new feed.
My tagline is no longer the WordPress default. It’s back to the old one I came up with in about 30 seconds of brainstorming panic. It’s not that great, but I’ll have to spend more than 30 seconds on the next one.
My sidebar fonts are now 8 point size, which is more to my aesthetic liking.
My Technorati ranking snark reflects the new domain rather than the old one. I dropped in rank from about 79,000 to 400,000 by moving domains. However, I still appear very high when you Google search me, which is rather nice.
I took Jim’s advice and I put in CrazyEgg, but for some reason, I think the test I am running is not working properly. For those of you thinking of starting a new blog, please read the link above. It’s fantastic advice for new and veteran bloggers.
I recognize that I am having a hard time letting go of my old blog. This isn’t like knitting a gift for someone, knowing it’s not going to stay with you forever. For some reason, it’s like obliterating a recognizable part of myself which I like. Sort of like plastic surgery, but presumably people do that because they didn’t like what was being cut away/enhanced.
Make it easy on me and please relink to the new site if you can. Another item I have to do is contact bloggers personally with requests for the link change.

Link changed on my blogroll – was gonna wait and see if you were going to keep the /mfc/.
Don’t worry about not having enough time for the blog; I think most blogs are works in progress and unless you blog full time you never get to all the items on the to do list.
