Edited 2007-01-01: This was the last post on the old site. The title should now read “this blog has moved.”

So here is the important announcement I mentioned in the previous post: this is probably the last post I will do on See Also… this year, and it is probably the last post to this blog at this URL.

I have my own domain name now, stevelawson.name, hosted by LISHost (who have been earning their $10 this month answering my questions and fixing my permissions problems). The new blog address will be http://stevelawson.name/seealso/, and I welcome you to check it out now.

In addition to changing hosts, I’m changing platform as well. Goodbye Movable Type, hello WordPress! I’m planning to leave the site in an only-slightly-modified default WordPress theme (i.e., look & feel) while I work up my own theme. So things will look pretty generic until I get up to speed on creating themes.

Perhaps I should hasten to say that this move is entirely at my own whim; no one at Colorado College has suggested that I move off the College servers, nor has anyone tried to interfere with my writing here. Nor do I have any intention of leaving the College any time soon. It just seemed like a good idea to have my own place, if you will.

You may be wondering what this all means to you. I hope it means very little. You might want to check your feed subscription URL. If it is http://feeds.feedburner.com/seealso, you shouldn’t need to change anything, as the feed will get updated with the new address. If, however, your feed subscription URL starts with library.coloradocollege.edu/steve, you’ll need to change it; use the Feedburner URL above. I’ll send reminders to the non-Feedburner feeds throughout January to pester people to change their subscription (or just drop me!).

If you have previous posts bookmarked or linked in your own posts, don’t worry about that, either. I expect I can keep the old blog up at the library.coloradocollege.edu server indefinitely, but I have also made plans for redirecting requests for old pages to the new site. We’ll see how well that works in a few weeks, when I can talk to the College webmaster types.

No doubt there will be growing pains: existing internal links, for one thing (where I link back to previous posts within See Also…, like I did near the top of this post) may be awkward; the same is true for images on the site; WordPress stripped out <span>s, classes, and inline CSS in the import process (which is odd, and very annoying, and messed up (at least) all posts that use an image from Flickr); and I’m sure I’m in for some more surprises.

But I think it will mostly be fun and exciting for me. I hope you will join me on my new site.
