From old to new

Well, the cut-over was fairly painless. Especially from the Blogger side. My pain was self inflicted because I had some custom URL redirect logic in the old site and when I tested it with its new domain it kept redirecting me back to the old URL. Once I remembered, I shut off that feature and all seems fine.

So, if anyone is looking for the old site, in its full DNN glory, it can be found at http://accidentalarchitect.michaelplevy.com.

Cutting over to blogger

In the summer of 2005, I started a bit of a personal adventure. I quit my job and with two friends started our own Internet business. Around that time, I started a blog with every intention of tracking the technical ups-and-downs of our efforts. Like 90% of blogging efforts, it soon petered out.

One of the challenges I created for myself was that I was managing my own blog site. I had been exploring the DotNetNuke (DNN) web framework, so I set up my own DNN site with a Blog module to explore DNN and to blog. That experimental site wasn't our core business site, so it became a bit of an administrative burden to maintain it.

Now I figure I'll let Google worry about the administrative burden while I try to attempt active blogging one more time.

Happy 2009
