Re: Hello, world

Thank you for visiting! If you’re reading this, you are probably already aware that I’ve moved my blog to my own domain.

I must thank the Government of India for spurring me to make this move. The decision to move has been on the cards for a while; but the Government order restraining ISPs from providing access to the Blogspot.com domain (or the interpretation of same, by the ISPs) proved to be the catalyst.

This change requires some effort, for it pushes me from a known territory to an unknown. However, moving to Wordpress has been a nice experience — a lot less blood than I had assumed. To be honest, I have had very few complaints about Blogger; but Wordpress is good in its own way. It puts me in control. Special thanks to Thejo for helping me make the switch!

In case you have bookmarked or blogrolled my earlier blog (link), please update your links to this one: http://www.vkpedia.com. Even otherwise, you can bookmark / link to me. In case you are using a feedreader, the feed URL is http://www.vkpedia.com/feed. Your visits and comments spur me on.

This switch is currently a work in progress. If you find something awry, do let me know. Once again, thanks for visiting! Have a great time here!

    Get accounts on del.icio.us and Flickr, and you’re a certified ‘real blogger’ :)
    Start churning out more of your good stuff soon.

    Congrats on the switch. Please ensure that the changeover is equally smooth for all your regular readers / visitors. It is going to take time to adjust oneself to the new format as the blog medium is easier to navigate

    Atleast some good came out of blog block. It’s always good to have a domain of one’s own. I too sometimes feel the urge to do it. Now got to update my blogroll.

    @Muhi: I’m using Lunarpages. Their service is good, and priced pretty competitively.

    Haven’t looked at NearlyFreeSpeech. Is it good?

    Good luck. My Oldies Quiz site is also on Lunar pages. A little expensive, but they’re alright.
