It is primetime

After few days of preparation I am ready to claim this site ready for primetime.

Days? You may wonder why it took me days to create this new site if it looks identically to the old version hosted on WordPress.com (http://marcodifresco.wordpress.com/); well, while the overal design remained similar, I had indeed made changes.

For example, and it is the aspect that took the most of the time, I re-organized a little bit the categories and the tags; this work has been necessary since I decided to change the URL format from the date-based system used by WordPress.com to the category-based system I am using here.

Secondly, as I said in the original presentation three days ago, what I seeked by opening a domain by my own was the more flexibility in managing the blog’s structure compared to the hosting at WordPress.com; so far I already activated few plugins, even if they are working on the back and you may not see directly the benefits.

One obvious side effect of this new domain is that the RSS Feeds got their URL changed; so if you have subscribed to the RSS feeds, either with a RSS feeder or via e-mail, from my old blog you need to unsubscribe from those and subscribe back using the links you find on the right sidebar.

I will take this evening for the last few changes and a little bit of relax and from tomorrow I will be back with news.

In the mean time you can leave some feedback. What do you think of this new site? Is there anything you would like to see changed?

Stay tuned!!!
