From now on, this blog will no longer be updated. I’ve set up shop at nilsgeylen.com and the new blog there resides under the subfolder /blog

nilsgeylen.com/blog

Hence also the new blog’s tentative title: dotcomslashblog. The creativity!

Most functionality is in place; bear with me as I trod along trying to make things work and/or look good.

Should you update any feeds?

The short answer: yes, that would be best. Here it is.

The long answer: you certainly should if you’re subscribed to the wordpress.com feed

http://nodependenciesnologo.wordpress.com/feed

I’ll double-post for a while, but that feed will soon be phased out.

You could also switch if you’re subscribed to the FeedBurner feed

http://feeds.feedburner.com/ndnl

I’ve already redirected that one to syndicate content from the new domain, but it’d be stupid to stay with that. That one too may be deleted at a certain time. My apologies if one or the other pops up twice in your reader.

Then again: most people already ‘grab’ their stuff from ‘the cloud’ – getting their content here and there, from Twitter or Friendfeed – without sticking to silly outdated things like RSS.

And to think we were convinced we’d be able to keep up.

So, in any case, head on over to the new address and subscribe – if you like. Using your browser will subscribe you to

http://nilsgeylen.com/blog/feed

whereas using the feed icon will subscribe you to the new feedburner feed

http://feeds.feedburner.com/dotcomslashblog

If all that makes sense.

What should you expect?

Nothing – that always works out to your advantage. Let’s just say I intend to post more, but also ‘more seriously’. The terms ‘grown-up’ and ‘higher quality’ sprang to mind.

Incidentally, that is also why the blog is in a folder, not in the root: I tend to think that blogs are on their way out and the main domain will reflect that broader choice of new, more appropriate services and modes of communicating. But as it says on the home page, more about that soon.

If you don’t like serious, there’s also a stream and a tlog. The former self-hosted on Sweetcron, the latter still over at Tumblr – for now.

Oh, and a hat-tip to my mate Allen from Sustainable Hosting, who’s made this switch a cinch.
