drop.io: Leave Stuff for me here

We’ve moved

You might or might not notice that The Eye has a new home.

Deep in thought?I’ve been toying with the idea for a while. I wanted to move it off a sub-directory, to perhaps improve SEO. What really made me go with it today, was that I upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.5, and a lot of stuff didn’t work satisfactorily.

Rather than try and undo everything, I though, I’d bite the bullet, and move it. So here we are at our brand new home at http://wildcabbage.net.  There’s not significance to the domain. It’s simply a spare one I had laying around that I wasn’t really using.

It was quite easy really to move. I’m not going to bore all you non-geeks that read this blog with the gory techie details here, but if you’re interested in how I did it, then you can shoot over to my geeky blog here and read all about it.

What Bloggers Read

3.30amA report from ZD Net states that heavy bloggers read other blogs more than they read any other type of site.  Well, is this true? I do a fair bit of blogging, but I’m probably not a heavy blogger – well I’m not a professional blogger (although I’d love to get paid to blog all day!)

Anyway, looking at my online reading choices – I do have a number of other blogs in my feed reader, but I also like to read news sites, and productivity sites as well.  I think it’s important, as a blogger, to read other content around you, as otherwise you can become very insular, and your outlook on the world can become somewhat stunted, blinkered, and narrow-minded.
