… Because we’re moving!

As soon as I get the time, I am going to try to move this blog over to the root domain, www.blastfromthepast.se. I’ve tried doing this in the past, but all I’ve ended up with is a broken mess.

This time, I’m going to completely reinstall wordpress and all my plugins, and then migrate all the posts, comments, images, etc. to that blog. So essentially, it’ll be like starting over. However, I will have to do some magic to redirect all the people who go to /blabbermouth/ to the new domain, while still keeping their URL intact.

For example; let’s say you want to go to my about page. Usually that is at www.blastfromthepast.se/blabbermouth/about-me/. What I want to do is to make it so that a person who goes to that adress automatically gets sent to www.blastfromthepast.se/about-me/ instead. So essentially, I will just be removing the /blabbermouth part.

I’m not quite sure how to do this yet, as I’m no .htaccess ninja. When I find out, I’ll be sure to let you know. Right now, I just wanted to give you a heads up.

If you do a web search for “how to write a good blog post” you’ll land at somewhere around 141,000,000 hits, which might be a little bit much to take in. With that in mind, I thought I’d share my tips, as well as tips from other bloggers, on how to write better blog posts.

If you think this is just another “top ten tips for becoming a pro blogger” post, think again. Here’s the really cool part. If you have any tips yourself, or if you have read something great about writing better blog posts - please share it. Link to it or just leave a comment with your contribution and I will come back and add your submission to my post, along with a link either to the site where you found it, or to your website or blog.

How’s that for being innovative?
