My Final Post… Well Sort Of

It’s a deceiving title i know,

After using WordPress for just over a month now i am really impressed with it, so much so that i have been desperate to try out the install version on my own server.

So after a friend gave me some web space [ Cheers Rob ;-) ] and i finally bought the URL and created my website i am ready to say goodbye to codinginthedarkness.wordpress.com and hello to http://codinginthedarkness.com/blog/

Hopefully this won’t impact on my Social Media experiment to much as i am seeing small improvements, this blog now comes forth on the ben scowen search.

So i will be copying over all of the posts in the next day or two, setting up my theme, tracking code etc but blah, so please hold on whilst i update and hopefully I’ll see you in my new web dwelling.

Goodbye WordPress.com :-)

    It’ll impact pretty hard to begin with. Wordpress.com posts are added to everyone’s blog “possibly related”, so indexing is faster. As time goes on though, friends, and clients, will find it easier with the single url, and even the almighty Google will index your site faster.

    Plus it’ll keep it’s rank in the Search Engines even during server moves, so long as you keep the same URL – in other words, this’ll be the one and only time it impacts.

    Yeah was a good decision to move it across, can use the other as a personal blog now as well.

    Well i just need to modify the htaccess file so it shows no www. like the rest of my site and create my own theme and i’ll be happy.

    I’m gonna go snoop for some interesting things to blog about!
