Final Blogger Entry
If you are a frequent visitor to the Little Red Blog, you have no doubt noticed that I've not written much of late. I'm sure there are lots of reasons but there are two primary reasons.
First, in general when I write (or blog), I attempt to express my thought on a subject or at a minimum express my feelings regarding it. The last few days it has been difficult to separate my conflicting views, emotional, principled and intellectual, from the situation in Florida. Other issues, even those I would normally enjoy writing about, are clouded and frankly I've felt unable to express much of value.
The second reason is that last week blogger ate yet another of my post. One would figure that by now I'd be used to writing them outside blogger and then adding them to blogger afterwards. But on that occasion I was lax and didn't do so. On Saturday I began the process of choosing a new blogging platform, a new host, as my host at the time did not permit the necessary access to make Word Press or Movable Type an option, and began toying with both WP and MT to determine which I'd use. I've selected MT 3.15 as a blogging platform and Hosting Matters as a new host. My old domain, marvinhutchens.com has been relocated (or is being relocated as some nameservers have not yet updated) and will effectively just point to my new domain, www.littleredblog.com. If you've linked to this blog at littleredblog.marvinhutchens.com, it'll eventually point to www.littleredblog.com also, except I'll leave the archives and individual pages with their current permalinks up so that no links are broken (and your comments and trackbacks are maintained).
It may take me another day or two to begin more frequent posting at the new site, but I will be posting at least a couple of times a day between now and then. This is because I still have lots of work to do on the new site and that'll keep me busy. I've noticed that working on php, perl, html and the various templates occupies a portion of my mind that is rather ignorant of emotional conflicts. Something I welcome right now. I sincerely hope you'll either maintain your links or switch to the new site and visit often. And, of course, give me lots of feedback on its style and functionality (as I've been working in a bit of a vacuum) and then on what I have to say.
