Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am in the process of relocating this blog. I will publish the new feed and info as soon as everything is set up and new posts will be coming soon from the new blog.

 

This blog currently has over 230 subscribers via Feedburner, 100 subscribers at Bloglines, 50-something at NewsGator, and numerous links and references from other blogs. I'm averaging 1,000 page views a day, over 30,000 visits a month so it's a bit disappointing to make the move. I would love to just move the feed but Windows Live Spaces has many short comings (which is why I'm moving) and a big one is the lack of comment functionality. Oh, WLS has comments, it just requires that a user sign up with a WLS account in order to leave one (want to guess how many people actually take the time?). And no - they don't provide the API to comments, which might have been hackable but...

 

It's been almost three years and I keep hoping the platform here would grow more robust, but now the lacking functionality (no scripting, only basic HTML, no support for widgets, no anonymous comments allowed, no anti-spam control, no comment moderation section, no statistics or control panel, blah, blah, blah) is crippling growth and stifling conversations.

 

I've had the domain RavensBrain.com for a while, as well as RavenYoung.com, so I will definitely be using these going forward. I hope everyone will stay tuned and update their RSS readers and site links to the new site feed, when available.

 

Stay tuned!
