The interwebs are transient. What’s hot today will be gone a week from now (remember when we all used MySpace). MySpace was the first time I actually invested any time in developing content and I found it disheartening when alot of that content had to be abandoned to move over to Facebook, then the “next big thing.” At about the same time, I opted to host my blog content on Blogger, thinking that it would be a more permanent solution than tying it to a social media site. While this solution is workable, it’s not as elegant as I would like. Pictures end up on Facebook, blogs end up on blogger, email ends up at gmail, etc, etc, etc.

So, for what I hope is the last time, I’ve made another move and opted to host all my permanent content here at http://www.jeffreytharp.com. As you can see, the first step was getting the blog back up and running. That will be followed shortly by bringing photos and other media online, converting to a new email address, and generally rebranding my online life. Of course Facebook is still my social network of choice (until the next big thing comes along), but I will be focused on streamlining what I post there and using it as an adjunct of this site rather than trying to force it into being my “official” home on the net.

As I get more comfortable with my new home, I’m sure you will see some changes. Feedback is very much welcome and encouraged.
