			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a while now I&#8217;ve been considering moving my website to a domain that was less generic than good ol&#8217; dot com. So recently I did! The new domain is www.steffanharries.me.uk. The dot me dot uk domain is aimed at personal websites to those of us who reside in the UK. That pretty much perfectly fits my uses and target audience of my website so I think that made a lot of sense for me.</p>
<p>My blog used to reside at blog.steffanharries.com, this now redirects via a 301 rule to steffanharries.me.uk/blog/. I&#8217;ve also created analytics, webmaster tools and email accounts using Google Apps that match my old dot com domain too and setup mail forwarding from the old ones. This is all nice and lovely however it leaves me with a few things left to consider.</p>
<p>I need to decide wether or not I need to keep the old dot com domain and subdomains alive. I&#8217;m happy to let the old email accounts die, however I haven&#8217;t yet decided weather to purchase blog.steffanharries.me.uk or not yet. The dot com domain and subdomains have several months left so that should leave more than enough time for search engines to recrawl the site and discover the 301 redirects. I&#8217;m mainly talking about the aesthetics here of having the blog on a subdomain or as a tailing folder. Perhaps I&#8217;m just being picky!</p>
<p>Whatever I decide I&#8217;ll post again with my reasons why.</p>
<p>PS. This post was written entirely on my Android tablet. An Asus Eeepad Transformer with keyboard dock. It&#8217;s a beatiful device and I encourage anyone looking to buy a tablet to take a look at this device. I&#8217;ll be using it exclusively for taking lecture notes in my final year at Aberystwyth University instead of carrying a laptop around for the portability and battery life. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This just a brief post to remind myself how to blog and that I need to write more often. For one thing weirdly find writing blog posts relaxing! So a few quick updates:</p>
<ul>
<li>I need to do the following:
<ul>
<li>Blog more often on web design, development and photography</li>
<li>Edit and upload photos to Flickr from the last few weeks of events</li>
<li>Tweak this blog theme more and add it to Git</li>
<li>Re-structure my main website content and create pages for specific items</li>
<li>Upgrade PHP to 5.3 on the VPS after checking for dependencies</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For the mean time, here&#8217;s a recent photo I&#8217;ve just put on Flickr:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/steffanharries/5964242768/in/photostream"><img title="Storm Approaching The Fort" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6030/5964242768_0d9d1266f7_z.jpg" alt="&quot;Storm Approaching The Fort&quot; - A photo taken at Loch Ness in Scotland" width="640" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;Storm Approaching The Fort&quot; - A photo taken at Loch Ness in Scotland</p></div>
