Plus, it's almost like someone was bored one morning when they woke up and decided, "hey! I think I will get up on the other side of the bed and then I will make tea instead of coffee, and they I know...I think I will change up on the web site today!" lol... I bet a lot of people were thinking, wait, am I on the right site? :) Its almost like spring cleaning isn’t it!

I'd like to see an update on how things are tracking if you get some time! I preferred the old domain, although it’s always good to mix things up & experiment.

Onemore thing I am wondering is why did you choose wordpress instead of blogspot. Any technical reasons or layout and theming reasons? Hi Matt,

I have a site in geocities that is well ranked in google. The problem is that geocities is closing later this year and they dont allow 301 redirects. Whats the solution to move a website from geocities to another host without loosing google rankings? In this case a meta refresh with time 0 like would do the trick? Google would consider this meta refresh like a 301 redirect? Thanks, Valter Hi Matt,

Good job. (BTW, also just upgraded the netbook to Ubuntu 9.04 - agree with you that it's slick - although there isn't a massive improvement from 8.10 except for the new notification system - can't wait for 9.10, all the work their focusing on looks really cool - especially new theme for the desktop version and eucaliptus integration for the server version) Hey Matt – have to say when I first saw the theme I thought it was a little plain, but I’ve just come back on my Aspire 1, and this theme is so much easier to use on a netbook!
