A New Domain and Your Chance to Help Me!

This week was meant to be almost a crescendo as I had hoped to finish off my long-running blog series on the atonement last week. Blogger ruined all that sadly! Due to some kind of bizarre fault, I was unable to publish my blog for several days at http://adrianwarnock.com/, which in blog years is a lifetime!

So I thought of a neat work-around. I would simply move the blog to a new server and domain name that was co-operating with Blogger and all would be well. A quick temporary redirect on the main home page at the old site (I can get in via FTP myself) and it seemed that I would be able to seamlessly move to adrianwarnock.com several months earlier than I had planned.

The problem was that I had forgotten that there are hundreds of people reading my blog by the old feed address, which was superceded by my current feedburner feed. One of the neat things about feedburner is that I was able to switch that to my new domain with no problem at all.

Shortly, my technical whizzes will be able to complete a proper transfer over to the new domain such that any page at http://adrianwarnock.com/ will automatically divert over here, so all those links out there on the web will start to work properly again. It’s just that at the moment, for anyone reading my site via the old feed, it looks like I am on one of my holidays!

So, all you my faithful readers out there (well the half of you that have figured out where I now am, anyway!) please can you mention my plight on your own blog and let a few folks know that I am now going to be blogging at http://adrianwarnock.com/ (note there is no www).

Thanks to Peter Kirk (who, incidentally, has written something on the blood of Jesus with which I wholeheartedly agree) for pointing out the problem with the feed. After his email a quick look at my stats made me realize how sudden a drop in readers I have had. Still it’s probably good for me, as I now remember how it used to feel when I hardly had any readers!

So, when this blog is back to full strength, I will post a proper blogspotting post thanking each and every one of you who links to me at the new address within the next couple of days!
