A new look (and a new domain!)
October 19th, 2008
As you may have noticed in the last week or two, the web site has undergone a bit of a rebranding process. deskchecked.com will still continue to work for at least another year, but I’ll slowly be moving everything over to this new domain: deskchecked.com.
It probably seems like a trivial issue, but I’ve longed to get rid of the hyphen in the deskchecked domain. However, every time I went looking for a new domain name I was never happy with the alternatives I came up with. At long last, I’ve finally settled on this one. Unfortunately, this decision has already taken its toll on my Google rank but I’m sure as new content rolls in I’ll see that pick up again over time.
Again, I must apologise for the lack of posts. In addition to the OSDC paper, I’ve been busy actually writing code rather than just writing about writing code.

A new domain, new look, but still no full-text RSS feed.
tsk tsk
Looks nice. Your design, or template?
I wish I had of removed the hyphens from mine when I created it… bit late now unfortunately
@OJ: pfft. Whinger.
Just enabled full text feeds. Especially for you.
@Crimson: I *wish* it was my design. ‘Tis a template called “SH Trocadero” by ShinRa. The design gets bonus points in my book for the Final Fantasy reference.
You could always swing some .htaccess magic and redirect each page to the matching one on this site (assuming you ported all the content over).
Google still likes you if you do that.
@madlep: yeah the redirects are already in place, all the old URLs work just fine, and will redirect you to the new domain — it would seem wordpress deals with the renaming of a domain without any special effort.
Google rank is still ruined though.
