New home for my second anniversary

Tomorrow is the two-year anniversary of The Golf Chick blog. I’ve been meaning to move to my new domain for awhile now and figured this was a good time to do it. I’ll start my third year of blogging with a fresh new look and location.

I know I’ll experience some moving pains so you may still see some changes as I tweak things here and there. I have all the content copied over and each post has its own new permalink but all the hard coded links from my old site still need to be changed. All links to my old blogger site – to the homepage there or any individual posts – will be redirected to www.thegolfchick.com. If anyone has any ideas of how to fix that so it automatically redirects to the individual permalinks, I’d be happy to look into it. It’s going to be a tedious process to get all my own links fixed so that my “Golfchick Chronicles” feature will work without just redirecting to my homepage, but I will get it done eventually. I also know the redirect is pretty slow and I’m open to ideas on how to resolve that as well.

Obviously, if you subscribe to my feed, you’ll need to change it to continue getting the latest.

I cleaned out my blogroll and golf sites lists and gave them their own special pages accessible from the nav bar. I drew the cutoff line at around two months, so if you start posting again and want back on the list, let me know. If I have forgotten anyone of if you’d like to exchange links, please email me.

Back in December 2005, Bogey Man created the cute little chick-in-the-golf-ball logo that I’ve been using ever since. I really appreciate it and have enjoyed it so much since then! So to thank him, I’ve completely ripped him off by creating my own version of his idea for my updated look. I still really like his version and will probably use both his and mine at times.

I am leaving tomorrow for a nice long weekend (yes, it will include golf and should result in some interesting posts) so I wanted to get this changeover done today.

If you encounter any problems with the new site (other than the permalink situation), please let me know. I’m kinda winging it here. Chicks do that. I will also welcome any other feedback you care to share.

It has been a great two years and I look forward to writing much more and introducing some new features as the months go on. Thanks for reading!

Next post.
