The Winds of Change Are Blowing

It’s been a while, I know; last week was incredibly busy and I just couldn’t give a post the attention I like to give it, so I left it alone for a week.  Well, between all the turkey, avoiding crowds, traffic, and other Thanksgiving/Black Friday week madness, I’m back, and I’ve got quite a bit to write.  But before we get to that, an announcement.  This may be the last post before you start seeing some dramatic changes on this blog. Well, the post after this; this announcement turned out to be much longer than I’d expected!

Why?  Remember the whole “summer of changes” thing that didn’t end up really happening because I managed to land myself an internship somehow?  Part of that was moving this blog from its current home at WordPress.com to the open source WordPress.org variety.  For reasons that get long and detailed and technical, I’ve decided that now is the time, so instead of getting in line to do all of my holiday shopping on Black Friday, I’ll be moving everything over to the new server.  Should be fun!

On a side note, there might be a little downtime during the day on Friday as I redirect newageofpolitics.com to point to the new server.  If you happen to experience that, just hang tight – you’re witnessing change in the making!  Now, it won’t instantly go from how it is now to the new New Age of Politics (and where have we heard something along those lines before?), especially with all the new goodies I will be able to add on to the blog.  What surprises do I have in store?  I might change the look and feel of the blog; not sure to what, but if I find a theme out there that looks awesome, I might use it.

That’s just a whole new coat of paint though; I’ve got so much planned that this really is The New Age of Politics version 2.0.  Of course, you’ll still get the same quality analysis and opinion that you expect from me; that much, at the very least, isn’t changing.  Assuming everything goes smoothly, and there’s no reason I can think of that it won’t go smoothly (this has been in the planning stages for nearly six months, after all!), make sure to check back late on Friday afternoon or Friday evening to see what all has changed – That is, after you’ve read my latest post, which will be landing sometime in the next 24 hours (think sooner rather than later!)

As always, leave me a comment or send a feedback e-mail using the form to the right with any ideas or suggestions you might have.  Eventually I’ll put a poll up about the new changes; as a political commentator, I should really take more opinion polls, shouldn’t I?
