So the sudden change was one of our fellow humor bloggers figuring out how EASY it was, and showing the rest how to do it. <BR/><BR/>Don and I both went with .Net because .Coms weren't available in the URLs we wanted. .Nets are still credible URL extensions.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to have this in place because I'm planning on sending more fiction out to publishers. I wanted to get my online presence set up nicely before I did that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-30941554712521120742009-03-14T14:25:00.000-04:002009-03-14T14:25:00.000-04:00"Pepperidge Farm commentary", ha.

The worst part of their ability to heat things is that about 45 seconds AFTER it scalded you, it probably needed to be reheated...again. On the other hand, I don't understand how I've survived so long without a toaster oven.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the URL shift, I'll try to update my links list soon!

I saw Don over at Beyond Left Field did the same. What's bringing this on? Is this something I need to do? Will I lose readers? Will I gain readers? ARGH!
