Folks, slight change of Axis

Filed Under (Op-Ed) by Rajesh Kumar on 28-06-2008

Friends, I started blogging, I chose a slightly irreverent URL of masoomjanwar.blogspot.com in 2005, When Blogger allowed domain integration, I bought a domain and linked my blog to work on www.yaxis.in. My intention in selecting this location was to have a very simple URL. It served its purpose a great deal, but of late, I have noticed that Google directs lot of traffic from India, but does not do so from other geographies, atleast in the same measure. I also noticed that Google sitemap hints that my blog, because of the .in at the end, is seen by Google to be targeting traffic from India. I felt that this was not what I was attempting to do.  I just want my blog to be location agnostic.

I have moved my blog to a more universal domain which is www.yaxislive.com. This is the new home of my blog. I hope you would continue to follow my blog. Folks who follow this site through feed should not be feeling any difference.

I have also opted for Wordpress and I hope you would like the brand new layout. I also thank Mani  for answering all my silly questions which gave me the confidence to complete something that has been in my mind for a while.

PS: If you are an existing feed subscriber, no action required from you. The new site would take care of that, automatically.

Op Ed: Moving into this new axis

Friends, hi. This is the first post at this new location and I extend a warm welcome. I look forward to your comments on the look and feel – Wordpress as a blogging tool is new to me and I hope to improve as we move along. I have chosen a theme by Jai Nischal Verma – I feel it is very refreshing and classy. Of course, I have tried my hand at tweaking this theme a bit- not sure if I got it right.

Feed subscribers: If you see this post, you are set- no action required from your side. You would continue to get content in your feed reader the way you do.
