Today marks the first day in which my old blog is finally dead. When I began using wordpress I had no idea you could host it on your site, I viewed it much like a facebook profile, or myspace page. Now several months after moving everything to my own domain I’ve deleted the old site.Generally SOP would include domain forwarding, or a redirect– but I didn’t have access to any of those features from the other site (as it was hosted by Wordpress). I didn’t want it to plain disappear either as I was geting over 3,000 hits a month. The solution ended up being a BIG link saying “Article Moved” and over 85% of people click the link and found my own site.

While this site still doesn’t command the same respect from Google as the other did, It’s position on Alexa is up 4,000,000 in 3 months. No complaints!
