Once upon a time I had a domain, indelible.nu. I bought it from the “market” in Namecheap, as an unwanted domain someone else had had. I decided to have a blog and Indelible was it. However, it was sadly neglected. At one point hackers got in and had their way with it. Then yesterday I had a warning from Namecheap that it was about to expire, so what was I going to do about it. I thought about renewing it, but at £35 a year, or thereabouts, I’d have to have a good reason for keeping it. And that was not blogging, since this is my blog now. (It’s my blog now Dave. If you know, you know.) I have two other .nu domains, moody and songs. That’s enough of the expensive side of domains, I think.
So typical of me to wait until the last minute. I wanted to keep all the posts from indelible and mash them into this site. I tried the export function but that was going to take a year and a day to download. I tried a plug in, but that was ditto. So I decided the only thing to do was to cut and paste with my own fair hands, and add the posts that way.
I set to work and felt I had accomplished something. Until I realised that I had three pages of links to posts, not one, and it was already getting late. Arghhhh! There was nothing for it. A quick shower and then a good, hot cup of tea. And work at it, one by one, making sure to edit the publishing date as well. There were a few comments but I couldn’t transfer those over, so they had to go. I am sorry about that. Very few people, if any, actually look at this blog. Which is the hardest part of blogging: knowing that no one is bothered to read this, even when I read and comment on theirs. Ah well.
So, that’s it. Indelible will run out today and that will be that. I’m sticking to This Is My Day.
