If You Move Your Blog

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Brooke Lester

By all means, go ahead and change your blog location. I've done it twice myself with anumma.com, first from Wordpress.com to Squarespace, then from Squarespace 5 to Squarespace 6.

But seriously, keep your links intact. I mean, you wanted me to link to your posts, right? And bookmark them? And suggest them to others?

If you find yourself saying something like this:

Please update your bookmarks, favorites, feeds, links, etc.

At least forget the euphemism, and say it like this:

I have broken all your bookmarks, favorites, feeds, links, etc.

Please delete all your bookmarks, favorites, feeds, links, etc.

After all, we were close once, weren't we?
