A heads up: Switching to matthewcornell.org in the near future [Matt's Idea Blog]
Just a quick notice that I’ll be moving this blog to www.matthewcornell.org in the next few weeks, and you may see some side-effects - including re-postings - as I play with backing up [1] my posts. (Side note: I’ll be outsourcing this transfer - see The 4-hour workweek applied: How I spent $100, saved hours, and boosted my reading workflow for another example.) I checked back and see that this is #193, and my first was on 4/5/05.
Reader question: Any tips for doing this? I’m planning on using FeedBurner (which frankly I haven’t 100% figured out), and my site’s built on Drupal.
There are many unknowns, which means there will be some LessonsLearned (see Some thoughts from tracking “lessons learned” for a year). FYI I’m using GetAFreelancer.com this time - the project is move Blogger blog to existing Drupal-based site, and I’ve selected the winner.
The reason I’m coverting is to drive traffic to get more work. Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned [2].
