Moved Site - United Domain

After 3 years of blogging on weblogs.asp.net, I've taken the big decision of moving out.

In the very beginning, I was honored to be able to blog here, but as years went by and blogging became more and more mainstream, I feel the urge to write under my own domain.

I'm convinced this has several benefits. First of all, I have total control of the look and feel of the site, without having to hack too much around. I can easily make a change whenever I want to. The other benefit is more a matter of credibility. It's possible to get credibility from content and actions, but a feeling of professionalism and maturity is also important. And that's exactly what I hope to achieve by writing under my own domain.

I'll be moving some of the content over the next few days, some nice gems collected over the years. After that, it'll be all fresh new subjects! I don't think I'll be getting that much of traffic in the beginning, but I aim to increase it over time when more and more quality content gets added. And with a bit of luck, some links to it ;)

Together with the move, I switched to a new design, inspired by Jeff Atwood's Coding Horror and the Fluid Solution template from Arcsin. I modified it to include Technorati and Digg links, switched the style from 3-columns to 2-columns, moved the navigation over, added nice titles and some minor design changes.

Thanks to old readers who follow me, and to all new readers! Be sure to add blog.cumps.be to your favorites!
