“I guess I’ll have to get used to seeing you at the same social functions as me. And hanging out with people I know. ”
(dazed and confused, 1993)
welcome to helloBos.com . I had been wanting to purchase the domain for a while now, but just didn’t have anything in mind to put up. Tonight I decided that helloBos will be my permanent ‘blog’. And so I’ve moved the latest information from bos-network.com to helloBos.com. Not all of it, just the posts from 2008, which are a few.
So what happens to Bos-Network.com? Well look, I’m not hanging it up. I feel somewhat attached to it. It was my first piece of online real-estate after all and I just can’t say goodbye to it. For the time being it just points to helloBos.com, which is nice because you can continue to go through to Bos-Network.com out of habit and then click on into helloBos. But there are plans for Bos-Network. Believe me when I say that.
Why did you move? Ah yes, another great question. It’s simple. I was calling the blog Hello Bos, yet the url was bos-network.com. It seemed messy to me and I wasn’t happy with the way I was running it. So I figure new beginnings from here on out as far as my blogging is concerned. Also, there are other technical advantages to having the blog on helloBos.com. For instance, I am able to post directly from my iPhone using email. That includes text and photo inputs. Very cool and should mean for much more posting. Also, I bought the domain for $9.99. And that’s all it’ll be costing me for the entire year. The hosting is done entirely from tumblr. Oh by the way, tumblr is the new blogging service that i’m using. I’ve said goodbye to wordpress. I was getting annoyed and bored with them and their support for safari 3.0 was terrible. Anyway, that’s a little too technical for you so let’s move on.
Can I come to expect the same great posts from Bos-Network.com? Yes, and more! and some less. Allow me to explain. Like I said above, with the ability to update via the iPhone I can post from anywhere with an internet connection. Meaning photos or text can be added to helloBos without me having to log into my tumblr account. So that’s a plus. Otherwise, I have the ability to do everything I was able to do with my bos-network blog with the exception of a few things. I cannot have different pages, no big deal. I don’t have permanent links to my favorite web sites, no big deal. And then of course there’s the whole tumblr not having a commenting system which means you cannot comment on what I write. WHAT!?! No I’m not kidding you. Are you kidding me? Yes, there are about 600 plus comments a day but they’re all spam and they slowed down the server tremendously so does it really matter? Yes it does. I want to hear your thoughts…sometimes. It’s just nice to have the option, so tumblr, get on it please.
Other than that ladies and gentleman, we’re here for a year…at least. I think this will have a positive effect on the blogging and ultimately your enjoyment. So thank you for your continued readership in advance and all the best!
cheers,
Bos
