Site Stuff

I have been thinking about changing the primary name of the site for awhile.  I wanted something that sounded less fan-bloggy when seeking credentials or introducing myself to someone of importance at the ballpark.  Today I decided to just get it done, but it didn’t go quite as expected.

I thought I’d be able to do the switch-over without much fuss, which is why it wasn’t announced ahead of time.  I thought all old links would keep on working and all my files would stay just the way there were.

The site was down for much of the day and once it was up, bleedingblueandteal.com wasn’t redirecting correctly so no one would know how to access the site anyway.  I’ve finally got that fixed, but there are other things that will be a bit of an annoyance for a while.

For one, I lost my jon@bleedingblueandteal.com email account from about 3:45 PM west coast time on Thursday to about 12:15 AM on Friday, so I haven’t received and will not receive anything you’ve sent to that address during that time.  The best way for you to contact me now is shields[at]proballnw.com.

Also, anyone using the RSS feed will probably have to update their feed address to http://www.proballnw.com/feed .

Please comment with any other problems you may encounter.  I’ll update this post with any other announcements related to the switch.

I’d like everyone to know that the name change does not mean a shift in coverage.  Same site.

    Thank you for all the hard work. Glad to see things starting to go as planned. This has definitely become one of my first stops when I get online and I look forward to the tweets throughout the day.

    I loved the name, but it’s your site, and I totally understand – you gotta do what works for you. :) I changed the link name on my site as well; not that I get a lot of traffic necessarily, but every hit helps!

    Jon,

    For my first post, let me express my apapreciation for your decision to return. I had just begun to follow PBNW when you pulled the plug and I was surprised at how much I missed it. However, I am not surprised at your return–what a great time to be a Mariners fan!
