Construction Coming Soon
Friends of mine have been delivering kindness upon kindness. I’m not sure if they want to be named for their kindnesses, because I forgot to ask if I could blog about it, so I’ll just say thank you, and you’ll know who I mean. The thing is, there are LOTS of people for me to thank, as things have been really wonderful lately. But for now, let’s talk about construction.
Observant readers of [chrisbrogan.com] know a few weird things about my site. You know that my site redirects to http://grasshopperfactory.com/cbc . There’s a reason for this, and it’s mostly user error on my part. But now, with several years of blogging on top of those links, I’ve got a two-fold problem. I’ve got a lot of self-referential links. So, I never wanted to “fix” my blog so that it actually lined up right from a search perspective.
Thankfully, I have friends who are smarter than me. (Most of you are smarter than me, truth be told, but I never let that stop me).
Over the coming weeks, my site will be re-built to line up properly. And then everything will be at the baseline domain of http://chrisbrogan.com. For most of you, this won’t make a difference. If any of you are referring to http://grasshopperfactory.com/cbc , I’d suggest you come to chrisbrogan.com. Most of you do, but just in case, you’re going to be SOL shortly.
Also, if something breaks. Bear with me. We’ll be back online soon enough.
That’s all, except to say thank you to those people who’ve helped me bring myself forward a bit.

Hello there! I am inviting members of Priscilla Palmer’s Personal Development List to participate in a blog series based on the Desiderata. I hope you’ll consider participating. Here is a link describing the project: Help Wanted: Desiderata Series. Thank you and have a great day.
“you’re going to be SOL shortly.”
That’s a bit harsh, eh?
You should have one of your dev crew write you an htaccess file that will redirect any grasshpperfactoryy links to chrisbrogan links and return a http 301 error to indicate the permanent redirection.
You gotta protect your pagerank and permalink power!
pagerank, permalink power, etc. are protected. also, old visitors are not SOL, they’re being redirected seamlessly.
oh, you may want to mention to people to change their blogroll so that it includes your new domain, in case they’re using the old one still.
