If I Should Disappear - Moving Hosts

Nothing wrong with the normal host, but to tackle the local search problem I have with this site, I'm planning on moving this domain to UK hosting in the next few days. This will tie in with a complete new look for the site, some new sections and a few other dramatic changes.

Things will invariably be broken, however, not as broken as they were. If you've had to put up with the flood of past posts reappearing in your RSS reader, then my apologies. I've had to manually fix around 600 posts which has taken the best part of a week to do.

I've been putting it off since before I finished at the Beeb, but given the redesign here, I had to bite the bullet it and fix them all. I've literally relived my recent life in blog posts the last week or so. I deleted a few old posts that had me scratching my head, and cursed Firefox 2's automatic spelling mistake highlight feature as I've had to correct loads of my old bad spellings.

That's over now though, and I'm itching to get the new site up but want to do it all at once and do the domain move as well. As a result, there could well be some weirdness the next few days.
