Busted

OK, I tried to move quicker than the Web could move and failed again. Sigh.

Sorry everyone (everyone? Sorry Matt, Fabio). I had been holding off ‘officially’ telling anyone I’d moved until:

a) I could finish building the new place at TypePad i.e. all my posts needed their images putting back in, bit by bit, many links fixing etc. … Things still won’t work in general! Bear with me – I’m currently sorting the archives at the rate of one month’s worth per night. I’m up to April 2003 working backwards!
b) I got the categories sorted (as much as categories ever can be) and a new design in place perhaps (though that can wait – this one works, which is an advantage on the old one).
c) The domain mapping that TypePad hope to have in place in September (perhaps) is done, so that I can point cityofsound.com back at at.
d) I could sort out a new email address. The old one got spammed to death anyway.
e) Er, that’s it.
f) Oh, and my hosting at Verio disappeared much quicker and more efficiently than anything they’ve ever done for me before, typically, so I got caught on the hop somewhat.

Mea culpa. Sorry sorry sorry.

Obviously, I’ve also lost 2 years worth of google placement via a load of broken links now. More importantly, that means many of your sites may have some broken links on them. I apologise for those wholeheartedly – hence me wanting the domain name to be back, to help just a bit with redirects etc. perhaps. Am fully aware that I’ve broken one of the Web’s rules – moving URIs – but I couldn’t see an alternative. I’ll try to make it up to you with some useful summary links – the categories headers, such as this one, might do that.

It’s frustrating that TypePad renames links – they are more friendly in the new format, but I’ve lost all those links, and so have you. Sorry again … but, er, welcome back I guess.
