What I learned this week

By Moriah on March 31st, 2009

When you decide to change your URL to make your domain name a little more streamlined, make sure your old address does not expire for a VERY LONG TIME (and thus stop redirecting your traffic).

Otherwise, you’ll leave well over a hundred readers and countless links stranded in cyberspace, up a creek and without a paddle. Yes, I learned this little nugget firsthand.

And also? That sometimes Motherhood kicks my rear.

LOL! I can see how that would be a pain. Lessons we learn!

Have a great day.
