Apologies to all MyBlogLog Friends & Contacts

It’s my fault that I have lost some of my friends and contacts at MyBlogLog by thinking I could do a work-around, the submitting a web site or blog process.

It all started when moving a site to another url. Websailingdesigns.com (wsd) moved over to jackkennard.com (jk).

I finally came to the conclusion that I would not be a company with employees but self employed as a contractor or consultant.

WSD has been listed in MyblogLog for several years with about 60+ members and since the new site would have the same information & pages I thought it would be easy to just go into the Setting area and just change the url and the news feed url. An easy update that went through smoothly. However none of the new posts would come through to the Mybloglog feed.

Now it took about 2 weeks to figure this out and the wsd has already been pointed to jk so there was no way to post anything on wsd to notify any of the viewers of the changes.

So I hope I never have to do this again, not because of technical difficulties but it’s not right to keep your viewers guessing why you haven’t written. And I apologize to all my friends at MyBlogLog and anyone else who may have been lost in the transition.

Some ideas to make the transition work smoothly for everyone:

1. Let your viewers know 2 weeks ahead of time of the changes that will take place.
2. Of course make sure you have backups.
3. Let your viewers know how emails or rss feeds will change.
4. Once you have the new site up and running correctly, notify everyone with posts and emails from the old and new locations.
5. Give everyone the right amount of time to transition over before pointing the old site to the new.

If you have any other suggestions, I and everyone would like to hear them.
