Hands Off, My Loots!

If you are reading this post right now, it’s for one of three reasons:

1. You saw my new post on the old podlogs site and clicked the link (probably the most likely)
2. You already knew about this site from the couple of times I’ve left comments linking to this site rather than podlogs on accident (done that about 20 times or so)
3. You searched for “Crazy, Homosexual Monkey Sex” in google. (Not very likely…but now that it’s here…I’m sure it’ll work in a few days…)

As much as I liked PodLogs (props to a really great service), I just wanted my own domain name and site again so I could edit whatever I wanted and make it look just how I want.  The freedom that having my own site provides is just something I realized I need after being with a free host for a while.

Some of you may or may not know, but I have run my own hosting company for almost 6 years…sadly I’ve recently had to shut it down do to lack of time and…well…lack of customers because of the lack of time.  So rather than hosting everything myself on my own servers, I decided to go with @AnMiTh who runs an awesome EVE hosting service over at Lonetrek.ws.  He’s got really cheap prices (and you can pay in either cash, or ISK) and a great service…and since I’ve been a host for 6 years…I don’t say that lightly…I’m hard to please when it comes to hosting providers.  If you are looking for a place to call your own for you blog…please check out Lonetrek…you won’t regret it!

Well, since I’m in a linking, talking about other people mood…I guess I’ll mention that I’ve decided to steal some ideas from Casiella.  About a month ago he made a post on his blog about some excellent WordPress Plugins…which I’ve already installed on the site here.  I’ve still got a lot more to do…but I’ve got enough done to make myself feel like I’m ready to launch the site (hence the reason I’m writing this post).

I still need to redo all my Tags and edit some links in previous posts, as well as getting everyone to change their links/rss feeds to the new site. (hint hint: if you are reading this…you can change your link to http://handsoff.myloots.com and rss feeds to http://handsoff.myloots.com/feed)

Hopefully everyone will enjoy the new site as much as I know I will…be on the lookout for some good changes in the near future…and a new style of posting category sometime this week!
