Shiny New Digs

So I made the arduous decision to switch blogging platforms as you can tell by the shiny new digs. It was a tough decision but one that was coming for a long time. I still love Blogware, it’s a great platform and something I would recommend to anyone starting out or new to the blogosphere, but my requirements have matured over the years and I felt it was time to graduate to something a little more versatile. With a fantastic supporting community, and really cool widgets / plug-ins I can play with, Wordpress is the new platform I tapped for the next iteration of Sales Mindset.

Needless to say I’m still working my way up the WordPress learning curve, and I’ve lost allot of the links built over the years due to some quirkiness in the way Blogware created permalinks, but thanks to Frank (Thanks Frank!) and his wonderful DNS skills, I at least have my feed redirected and all of my permalinks go to the monthly archive for the original posts so you shouldn’t get lost trying to find the right article.

My next step is to look for a good stats package since the one my Hosting Provider gives by default melds all of the domains I have associated in the account. If anyone can share any recommendations on something free I can try, or something that doesn’t cost too much but does a fantastic job, let me know.

Goodbye Blogware, after over 3 years I’m truly going to miss you (sniff)

    I love the new look :)

    For stats I’d recommend Firestats, as you can plug it into Wordpress very easily. I’d also use Google Analytics, as it’s nice and easy to get the info from it these days

    Thanks Michele. I’m using google analytics now and it’s much better with the new beta interface than the old one. The big issue I have is the accuracy on the reporting My hosting provider’s stats tool reports very different numbers than analytics does.

    In either event I’ll give Firestats a shot, thanks for the advice.
