Ladies and Gentlemen!
Trumpets, that's your cue!
Welcome to the new and improved, movable type version of Walking Stick.
Ahem. That's right folks. I, along with many others in the blogging community have made the jump over to MT thanks to a special offer from 1 and 1 hosting. (It's a lame name, but it's a sweet deal.) I hope you enjoy the upgraded design.
You see, today is officially the 6 month anniversary of my blog, and I thought that today would be an appropriate day to unveil the new website. I've been working on it for weeks now, tirelessly learning all about MT, CSS, SSH, SCP, Perl, and other goodies, so that the website could be fully functional at launch time. I've gone through and fixed all the internal links, transferred the comments from haloscan, and even fixed some dead links in the archives.
Unfortunately, there are still a few things that did not quite get accomplished by the launch deadline. I still need to go back and fix the rest of the dead links, but most importantly I have to go around to every single blog listing website that I use and fix the links. Which reminds me, if you are awesome enough to be linking to the old address, if you could update your links, that'd be awesome. I'll see if I can't get an email out to you all here soon.
Something I would ask of you, my lovely and loyal readers, is that if you find a dead link, see a typo (there are plenty, let me assure you), or have a suggestion that you not hesitate to leave a comment or drop me a line. I'd appreciate it very much.
Tomorrow then, I'll deliver my own State of the Blog address. Questions on the slate are: Why do I blog? Is this reason different from when I started? For whom am I writing? What are some of my observations about the blogging community as a whole? What do I see in the future for Walking Stick?
If you have any questions you'd like to ask, I'm hereby opening it up for discussion. Assuming the questions aren't too terribly offensive or obscene, I'll answer 'em all, even if they're complete bizarre and irrelevant.
That may do it for now, folks. Take a spin around the new place. Read the About Me page if you're new.
Oh, and one more thing, the voting for Blog Madness has begun. My match can be found here, so run on over there, read both posts, and then vote for whichever you feel is best.
I think that'll do it for tonight, folks. There are still several things to be done finalize the transition and I haven't been doing well on sleep lately. Anyway, here's wishing you a good night and a pleasant tomorrow.
