I Will Be Back….

It is time for me to give a few of my sites an important makeover, something I have already done with my Word Journey blog. A small window in my article writing calendar has appeared, affording me a break to take care of some much needed business. Therefore, I will cease musing until next week, at least on this website!

No having fun while I am away!

So exactly what do I have in store? Several things including two or three theme updates and swap outs as well as moving my flagship car blog to its own URL.

That site will mark its fourth anniversary next month, with more than 1450 articles posted to date. By moving it to its own site I hope to improve its visibility while allowing the site to break free of its current constraints.

This morning, I purchased shared hosting and am waiting for a go ahead from my web host to upload my files. The most challenging aspect is making sure that the old article addresses forward to the new site, but even if there are some problems, I will take the momentary hit in order to have a site that should enjoy some long term benefits in the form of search engine optimization.

I also believe that this move will enhance the site’s monetary value, something I always keep in mind in the event that I choose to sell. Not that I have any plans to let that site go, but….

    I am looking forward to the new look and feel! I have no doubt Matt’s musing will come back better for it!

    Good luck, change can be fun; but sometimes it causes more problems that it’s worth.

    Hope it goes well for you

    @ Sandy — I agree! But in these cases I am somewhat forced into it: I am dealing with a handful of old themes that have not been updated in some time. Plus, I have one blog that needs to be moved to a new URL. So far, it has been a headache.

    Changes is always good, unless it is bad changes :)
