Growing Pains

Okay, I forgot (okay, well, I was putting it off) to set up redirects for links pointing to stuff on the old website to stuff on our new site. This meant that your RSS reader never saw any updates for us since December 29. Now those old RSS feed URLs should permanently redirect you to the new RSS feeds. Similarly, Google’s index still contains old links and I’m sending those visitors to a landing page. Soon I should have that landing page automatically do a search here for the same content the user searched for originally. It’s not perfect, but it’s just about the only thing I think I can do.

Google Reader gave me updates, or maybe that was just because I was getting stuff form 12/29 and before.

This was an interesting experiment in discovering who uses the RSS feed exclusively.
