MOVE...GET OUT THE WAY
I've hinted at this once or twice, and Jeremy and I have talked it over a couple of times.
We're moving the site on Wednesday. Sort of.
Unlike our blogosphere compadres at USS Mariner, Leone for Third, and Nice Guys Finish Third, we're not moving into our own domain. Jeremy and I are the complete opposite of wealthy, which figures directly into the new address...
bremertonians.blogspot.com
If you go there right now, I've just taken up the spot with a placeholder, so there's nothing of worth over there at the moment.
Why, you ask? It just makes it easier. Originally I had devised the "bremsportfolk" name because I thought it'd be a little quirky and crazy. That was just fine when Jeremy and I were the only ones reading our blog. Now, we have hundreds of people reading every day in some form.
Also (and I'm sorry for those who have gone through the trouble), who the hell is able to remember "bremsportfolk" right away? There's no way. What I have in mind out there is the person that has gone to some sort of public computer or one that isn't their own (or one without AutoComplete) and wanted to dial up Sports and B's but couldn't right away because of the sheer juvenility of our address.
It's for new readers too. We like more readers. They're much more like to remember "bremertonians" than "bremsportfolk."
Of course, the most obvious thing is that the word "Bremertonians" is part of our name. Put it in the address, and voila!
And if I was bent on world domination, I could also say that by changing our address to reflect our name, we (or thing referring to us) would pretty much have a monopoly on the first three pages' worth of Google searches when anyone types in "Bremertonians." We're almost there now, and this change would put us over the top.
So there you have it. Sports and Bremertonians will move (barring any weird circumstances) and you'll see us in the new location at bremertonians.blogspot.com on Wednesday.
Thanks to all of our readers that have stumbled upon us since August of 2003. We hope you follow us to the newish address.
