The End of an Era
I have made an impulsive decision to migrate my personal blog/website to a new URL today.
PalmerForPresident.com has sort of become stale as a name. Really, it’s almost totally irrelevant considering the reason I initially registered the URL was to support the fictional character “David Palmer” from Fox’s show 24 who was killed off many years ago.
Bottom line is that the URL “www.palmerforpresident.com” is very long to type, and it’s just past it’s time.
I felt like it was time time to move on to something shorter and more “personal” to me.
There will be a migration period; but from this day forward my new website will be www.ericvb.com.
Anyone who follows me on any various outlets such as GoogleReader, if you would be so kind as to update your subscription URLs accordingly that would be a very good game.

I recommend you have p4p do a 301 redirect to the new url. By having both urls serve the same content you are going to slaughter your search ranking.

yeah that is what i did when bauercount moved from vanlandw.com/bauercount
it’s still working if i’m correct a quick google search you should be able to set this shit up.
mostly because anytime i’m going to attend your site i’m going to use p4p :-/
until it no longer works anymore :-[

Im trying to find out how to do a more complex redirect. so it will keep my permalinks going to the right content. i.e. http://www.palmerforpresident.com/archives/grand-rapids-sonic will redirect to http://www.ericvb.com/archives/grand-rapids-sonic
