Blog rollover this weekend

This weekend I plan on moving the blog over to the new blog.  I hope things go smooth, but there may be some difficulties getting here over the weekend. 

Currently my plans are to snag my entire blog into static html so I can preserve my old links, and then move the host header in iis.  I thought about trying to make .text and MT coexist, but decided not to even try that since I didn't see much value in it.  The feed url will stay the same, although there will be a new feed that will have enclosures. 

After some thought, I've also decided to ad some google adsense to my blog.  I debated about this for a bit, but decided to try it out.  The ads will be at the bottom of the pages, blended into the new design.  I think it's very unobtrusive, but might generate at least some revenue for server expenses.  (read: I want a new server since this celery900 can't do much more then what it does  :)

The new blog also has my del.icio.us feed on the sidebar.  I have been using this site for a week or two and so far it's fantastic.  I've tried a few ways of centralizing bookmarks, but this is by far the most versitile tool I have tried.  The social aspect of the bookmarks has already taken me down a few interesting trails, so I think I'm going to find all kinds of value in del.icio.us.
