Goldfish And Clowns

In the “a whole lot sooner than I had planned” department, I decided yesterday evening I really didn’t want to pay for renewing the proprietary blogging software this site had been on when I was planning on getting away from it ASAP, so I canceled it. This deleted the blog’s previous location, but since I’d already saved it and made backups of same it wasn’t a major concern. I lament all old links to specific posts now being inoperative, but there was no way around that. The base address itself (http://blog.goldfishandclowns.com) now redirects here.

I have a place on the sidebar where you can sign up for e-mail updates as things are posted. That said, although I genuinely appreciate anyone and everyone believing my little scribbles are worth receiving in this fashion for the next several weeks I recommend against doing so. I’m going to be putting all the posts from the old site on here one at a time, so unless you are in the mood to get six hundred plus items in your inbox you might want to hold off on subscribing. I had originally planned on copying the posts from oldest to newest, but thought better of it and will be going the other way. Then again, when am I not going in the opposite direction from most everyone else? After the posts are completed I’ll bring over the comments.

We now resume our regularly scheduled blogging.

In one of those rare times when a vendor reminding you of something coming due way in advance is a good thing, GoDaddy just reminded me that my purchase of their proprietary blogging software comes up for renewal on November eleventh.  No way will I have all six hundred plus posts moved from the old site to here by then.  So, looks like I’ll move the last month or so, save everything else locally, and throw the switch earlier than anticipated.  Fun fun fun (sigh).  Ah well.  It’ll be worth it when it’s completed.

This will eventually be the home for the Goldfish and Clowns blog.  Yes, folks, I’m finally moving to WordPress.

It’s going to take some time to move over all the existing posts, as I have yet to find a way to get everything from GoDaddy’s Quick Blog application where the blog currently exists over here.  (If I find one I’ll use it.  Duh.)  In the meanwhile, as I’m transferring X number of posts per day from the old site to this one, starting with the oldest and working my way forward, http://blog.goldfishandclowns.com/ will be the place to go for new posts until the day I can figuratively flip the switch.  At that time I’ll redirect that address to here.  Until then, see you at the old digs until the new swinging hot spot is ready to rock.  Or something like that.
