Welcome to my new blog home - harishankar.org. Over the last few days, some major changes have been brewing under the hood as I worked to move over my blog completely to my personal domain and also unify the look and feel of my personal website.

I have set up a 301 permanent redirect to this blog, so that the old blog URL will still work, but I would request you all to update your blogroll and RSS feed readers as soon as it is convenient for you do so (don't forget to update the reviews site RSS feed as well).

I hope you like the new unified look-and-feel of harishankar.org. This has been a long term plan of mine, but I have always been very tentative about it; but now that it is finally done, I actually feel quite relieved that it was so simple. So much so that I cannot help feeling slightly worried that I might have missed something obvious. :-P

All the internal links have been replaced to point to http://harishankar.org/blog/ - so everything should work fine. But this move has really taught me the benefits of using relative URLs for in-site navigation and cross-linking and the great advantage of using the <base href...> tag.

If you notice anything amiss, please do let me know.

  3. Thanks, Ray. Thanks MrCorey. I wanted to try out something simple this time and also it allowed me to give the whole website a unified look.

  4. I think that now this site has moved and you're happy, you need to change your posting title to "Hari (blog lord)".

  5. Well, I don't think "blog lord" sounds quite right, Ray. :-P

  6. adding the word "lord" to any job title makes it sound better. So, when you attend your local hostelry, you would order a refreshing beverage from the local bar lord and so on. Humility is the last thing we need on the internet!
