Dear GeeksWithBlogs, Let’s Just Be Friends…
Comments(3) Yes, it’s true. I’ve packed my bags and am moving to a new location.
For those of you with RSS Readers, please change your feed subscriptions to use my new feedburner location. I do not plan to do any new posts on GeeksWithBlogs with the possible exception of a few redirection reminders.
For the rest of you, you can see my shiny new blog on caffeinatedCoder.com. It may not look like it, but I’ve spent quite a few late nights over the past few weeks dusting off my PHP and CSS skills so that I could get my new WordPress blog up and running. With thousands of plugins and themes to choose from, my blog tinkering days have just begun but you can see the”good enough” version here.
I want to thank Jeff Julian and John Alexander for letting me try my hand at blogging on GeeksWithBlogs over the last six months. I’ve had a great time and have appreciated feeling part of a large, healthy blogging community.
I also want to give a special thanks to Max Pool at codesqueeze for all the help and advice he has given me over the last several weeks. I met Max at the Alt.NET conference in Austin this past year and was impressed with his passion for blogging and his deep knowledge of the black arts of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and internet marketing.
He’s given me dozens of resource links and plugin suggestions and I’ve used his site as an inspiration while I was setting up my new blog. For a good demonstration of his expertise and some practical tips on how to increase traffic to your blog, check out his Blog Setup: 40 Practical Tips.
In conclusion, GeeksWithBlogs…it’s not you..it’s me. I just think we should start seeing other people…
So long and hope to see everyone at the new location,

I wondered how long it would take you to move to your own site. The new digs look nice!
Thanks! I mangled several themes before I settled on this one, which I haven’t done too much to yet other than customize the side bar. I’m sure I will spoil this one before too long as well.
I really like being in control of the site, so I think it was a good move for me. Hopefully Jeff and John won’t feel too slighted by my decision to jump ship.
