A Domain – and a Home – of it’s own

I’m here at last, on what a Blogger refugee might call “sacred ground.” The move has been initiated and will be propagating over the next few hours. Soon, everybody should see me in my new home – and see the slide-show that makes this theme so wonderful.

Blogger had become a nightmare for me. Not only did some bug keep the slide show from working, but the width of the post area diminished over the past week, crowding on the margins. It wasn’t like that at first, and I can’t identify the first moment i noticed it, but something was very wrong in the state of Blogger.

In short, I have felt like what was done to me by Blogger is what was done to Marsellus Wallace by those nitwit college-boy drug dealers in Pulp Fiction. I’m sure you remember the scene. I warn you, if you don’t like the language, don’t watch this clip:

So I’ve a-Vikinged over to a new land, away from oppression and towards freedom, like those first hearty Norwegians to sail to Iceland. I hope everybody likes it as much as I do, and I hope there are no problems or after-effects.

I want to thank UncaJoe of Progressive Nation (http://progressivenation.us/) for undertaking this salvage operation – you can see his moniker on my footer if you scroll down. Joe is a whiz at all things web-related and I highly recommend him for any such work. Another site Joe has done is House of Nina (http://houseofnina.com/) and if you want some good old fashioned in-your-face straight talk, visit HON. You’ll get an earful. Of course, I also recommend ProgressiveNation, which has published on article of mine (another is in the works but it ended up being a bit long; you know how it is…).

I’ve got some other changes in the works as well. Mos Maiorum is getting a complete overhaul. If you visit (www.mosmaiorum.org) you’ll notice right off the first of them – the missing (and quite ugly) GoDaddy ad-banner across the top. Now if they’d put Danica Patrick in a swimsuit on that damn thing I might not have minded, but as ads go, that was the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen.

Looking at the picture on the left, I think you smell what I’m cooking here. I may be a Heathen of questionable marketing accomplishments, but I think I know what looks good on an ad-banner.

And you might protest that this is a Heathen blog, but some men (and women) might argue persuasively that Danica Patrick is close to being a religious experience in and of herself, whether you like racing – or GoDaddy.

There is such a thing, after all, as liking something for itself. That, I would argue, is the case here.

Those of you who think I put this picture here for the car – well, I don’t even have anything to say to you. There’s no point. We’re talkin’ culture here, boys and girls.

Getting back to the changes on Mos Maiorum, you should see the rest of those soon. It takes a bit of time to convert all the articles to a new format. Most of the rest is done and ready to go. I hope you’ll get to see that soon.

So now I’ll be back to blogging like it should be done. Back to Heathenry like it should be done (in a perfect world that would include hauling Danica Patrick off over my shoulder and burning some churches on the way out of town, but we can’t have everything).
