I’m Moving to WordPress.org (Soon)!
I hinted at it several months ago and I’ve had the idea in my head for about a year but I’ve finally made a firm decision: I am moving from the free wordpress.com over to the paid wordpress.org. Obviously I’m not moving over right this very second but I want to start the transition on the afternoon of December 21st and be fully done by January 1st, in time to launch my 2016 reading and reviewing challenge. I’m hoping to migrate over all of my followers as well as pay for a link redirect so that anyone still coming back here gets directed to my new site. We’ll see how things go. They should go reasonably well as I’ll be paying for a guided transfer rather than mucking through the whole thing on my own. My archives are too vast to even attempt that with my level of technological know-how (or lack thereof).
So stick around because there are going to be some great changes coming this way! I hope to see you all over on my official website in a month or so.
I Will be Moving to WordPress.org (But Not Right Now)
After some more research and some great feedback from you guys, my readers I have officially decided that I will be moving The Mad Reviewer over to WordPress.org. This change will, as the title hints at, not happen right away because there is too much to organize for me right now. However, in December when I have a two week Christmas break I will work on the process of moving things over. For now I’ll probably download the free WordPress.org software so I can become familiar with the interface but the actual move will not happen until December and in December I’ll be announcing a firm date for the official switch over.
So what does this mean for you guys, my readers?
Actually, not much. I’m likely going to pay for a guided transfer, which means my subscriber list as well as everything else I need will be moved over to my new .com site. And if you have this page bookmarked, don’t worry! I’m also going to pay for a redirect so that anyone stumbling across this address will be automatically redirected to the new site. I’ll probably pay for the redirect for one or two years so you should have plenty of time to become accustomed to the switch. I know it will take a lot of getting used to for myself but hopefully things will go smoothly. Even if they don’t, at the end of the day I’ll finally own the blog I’ve put three years of work into and not have the threat of arbitrary suspension hanging over my head.
