Welcome to a New and Shinier W7!

December 18th, 2008

vadder Unless you are seriously visually impaired, you’ll have noticed that things changed around here. This is because this blog has moved home since you’ve last been here. It is no longer hosted by Typepad, but now resides on my own system (thanks to WordPress and Dreamhost) – saved one of two annual bills. Nothing else wrong with Typepad, it’s just an unnecessary expense. I wanted to switch for some while, but only now have I finally figured out how best to do this.

It’s nothing for the faint-hearted (let alone for the not technically aware), but once I understand the ramifications, it is actually fairly straight-forward.

So, errr…. during the transition period, you might get a few glitches if you access through http://www.gauweiler.net. The simple workaround is to go to http://blog.gauweiler.net instead, if you have difficulties.

I also went through great lengths to preserve comments and links to images or other, previously posted, articles. Some are broken (ignore or report, as you wish), but most should actually work.

People who have commented before may have to go through a one-off approval step (I think). Let me know if anything doesn’t work.

There’s a bit of work left to do, and I beg your patience. For example, the arts gallery isn’t here yet, but you You can always view my paintings at http://fotos.gauweiler.net/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=280, so that’s a start http://gallery.gauweiler.net/index.php?album=paintings.

Enjoy, and continue coming back!

    Errr… just commenting on myself under a different name, in order to see if and how the commenting system works. It is supposed to capture spam and dodge robots and all that.

    Scheint ja zu funktionieren, ich wollte dir schon als du da warst sagen, dass ich mich immer wieder über dieses Bild freue.

    Es ist auch eines meiner Lieblingsbilder. Deswegen kommt es ja auch immer wieder.
