Any regular readers of my blog (all 3 of you) which used to be located at http:\/\/andy.xhtmlpro.com, might be wondering what’s with the snazzy new domain name.\u00a0 Well…. a couple of things.<\/p>\n
First, xhtmlpro.com, where I previously hosted my blog was my the home of my web development\/design company.\u00a0 Our company did some realignment this summer, and now exists at http:\/\/waldenwebdev.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Xhtmlpro was too unwieldy of a name for those not familiar with web design and coding and such, and since we primarily market ourselves to churches and other Christian ministries, most of which aren’t familiar with terms like xhtml, we (my brother<\/a> and I) decided we needed to charge our name and branding.\u00a0 It also gave us an opportunity to redesign our site which needed a facelift.\u00a0 (Btw, xhtmlpro.com is for sale<\/a>, if anyone is interested. It would be a great domain for, say, those that convert Photoshop layouts to web templates.) So all that is to explain why I’m not still at andy.xhtmlpro.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n But why not at say, andy.waldenwebdev.com? Well, the main reason is i thought it would be good to go ahead and get my own exclusive domain.\u00a0 Not that i’m really concerned someone else will snatch up andyanglea.com (afaik, i am the only one in the world), but I can do other geeky things with it too, like setting up Google Apps for your domain, email server, backup\/storage, roll your own URL cruncher, etc.<\/p>\n Now if you’re wordpress savvy and read my previous post, you might be wondering why i had to get my old posts from google cache, as wordpress has an export function in the control panel.\u00a0 Well, I would have loved to do that, but due to some shenanigans by our web hosting company, that was not an option.\u00a0 (Short version, they took down xhtmlpro.com before they said they would.)\u00a0 As you might guess, this site is not hosted by that company.\u00a0 Depending on how the service goes, I’ll reveal who that is sometime down the road.\u00a0If you’re really curious, you can look at my whois record. So far so good, and I technically have more than I did with my previous host (storage, bandwidth, etc) for about half the cost.\u00a0 Next up, the semesterly (or yearly) life update…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Any regular readers of my blog (all 3 of you) which used to be located at http:\/\/andy.xhtmlpro.com, might be wondering what’s with the snazzy new domain name.\u00a0 Well…. a couple of things.
