I’ve had my blog at myname.com for several years, can’t decide whether to leave it there or move it to myname.blog.
I’ve always been a fan of the dot com domain, but having changed the way that I’m posting and using my blog I can’t help but feel that the dot blog would be better. There’s a level of informality that goes with dot blog, by it’s very nature it’s a place of more informal thoughts and ways of posting, whilst the dot com feels like it expects a greater level of thought…
Of course there’s always the possibility that I’m over thinking things.

@philbowell I decided to switch to .blog because, well, that’s what it is. It just made sense.
@colinwalker It does. What did you do with the old domain? Did you redirect everything?
@philbowell I did, everything is just a straight redirect. It was .me.uk before.
@colinwalker Cool thanks, further food for thought. Might well make the change over the weekend.
@philbowell I’m really glad I switched. Hope it goes well.
