This blog has a new home

Some weeks back, I was exchanging e-mails with someone who casually mentioned that this blog should really be a part of the Klassen Communications site instead of existing separately on Blogger.

Ideally, this blog would have been a part of my site from the beginning, but I started this blog on a whim just to see what Blogspot was like and, well... over 100 posts and two years later it just seemed easier to keep things the way they were.

But as I looked into it more, I found I could easily incorporate a blog on my own site, and import all the articles from here to there.

So, to quote a bit of the lyrics from a popular TV show, I "loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly."

In this case, 'Beverly' is http://mikeklassen.com/blog/.

There's still work to do on the new blog, but it's to a point where it's ready for readers. And like virtually everything I do, the new blog will continue to evolve as I find the time.

If you're a regular visitor to this blog, please bookmark the new blog site.

Because articles on this site are linked from various sites, the past articles will remain here for the foreseeable future. All new articles (in addition to all the old ones here) will be on the new site.

I will leave you with one marketing tip...

Because I touch on a number of different topics on this blog within the realm of design, marketing and freelancing, it gets a decent amount of search engine hits from people who otherwise would have never found me.

As you know, hits are good. And that's why the gentleman I was talking to mentioned that this blog should be on my own site... so I'm getting the benefit of people who will not only see my articles, but are a bit more likely to see what I actually do.

Plus, it was a chance to learn something new (a new blogging system) which is always a plus.

See ya in Beverly...
