As you are probably aware, I have not posted anything in this blog for over a year. What you might not be aware of is that after my long blogging hiatus I went back to my old blog in blogspot: http://franciscogutierrez.blogspot.com and I am going to continue blogging there from now on.

Why the change? Well, first reason is, I noticed that even at the height of its popularity, this blog never came up higher than my inactive blogspot blog whenever anybody looked me up in google. This is of course because blogspot is a google site, so they naturally rank it higher. The second reason is that I cannot put ads in this blog! Granted I am not going to be making much money anyway, but in principle I am bothered by that fact. If I can build a large audience, I don’t want to go through the inconvenience of moving URLs later, I’d rather do it now.

So that’s it, this is my last post in this blog, I just wanted to direct anybody interested in reading my ramblings to the new location. See you around!

When I decided to change blogs I was willing to start over blogging in wordpress and lose my old blog entries. However, thanks to ExtremeLee who left a comment on my old blog, I just found out that wordpress allows me to import an older blog into it. I just did it, and it was a breeze, all my old posts are here now! Thanks ExtremeLee!

My friend Phil Swenson told me about wordpress today, this is a very nice blogging interface! So I decided to abandon my old blog and start posting here from now on.
