Well, I don’t know if either of you have noticed, but there’s been some weird things gong on at “Wild Tangents”. The name keeps changing. The feed keeps changing. The theme keeps changing. Well, the truth is I wanted a change after the new year. I wanted to leave behind the “thicke.org” address and claim something new. I have learned a lot in the past year about blogging (apparently not enough, eh Mark?). I wanted to put what I have learned to good use and start over fresh. So from now on “www.thicke.org” will be frozen in time. This will be the last post there. If you are seeing this from that address, feel free to look around. The archives will always be open. If you want to see the latest and greatest I have to offer, take a look at my new place “www.wildtangents.net“. If you’re already at Wildtangents, well…I guess you’re already there.
To answer a few questions….
First, you will not have to change any email addresses. I will still have all the same addresses. No feed subscriptions will need to be changed. If you are subscribed to to the feed at feedburner or thicke.org, you are not subscribed to the new Wild Tangents feed. you didn’t have to do a thing. Wasn’t that easy?
I would ask that if you are linked to me that you change the address. Since you’re link is on your own site though, you may feel free to do what you want.
Keep in mind that the “About” page and the “Current Status” page on the new site are both unfinished. I expect to never finish either of them as they are both works in progress. Check back on them often.
I’m really excited about this change. But, don’t expect the frequent short posts I used to make. I plan to put a little more though and effort into posts. That will make them a little less frequent. I also have two other web projects I will be working that will take up some of my time.
If you have any questions, complaints, criticisms or general apprehensions, feel free to comment or send me an email.
Have a good night and God bless!
I found your link through CS’s. I am new at this, but not new to Catholocism though. Come from a long line of friday fish eaters, or friday macky cheese eaters. Tell me, what is “feed”? A different kind of link?
ELY
A feed is a way of subscribing to certain websites or other sources of information that get updates frequently without having to keep checking the website with your web browser (Internet explorer, firefox, etc.). I provided a link to
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/aboutrss
which explains it pretty well.
An except:
If you’ve seen the little orange buttons that say “RSS” or “XML”, or the ones like on here at Wild Tangents with the little waves flowing out toward the top right of the box, those sites provide this service.
While not everyone provides somethat looks as fancy as mine in a web browser, you can get an idea of what they look like by clicking on the link for my feed provided below.

A more common look for the feed file can be seen in the feed file for the comments to this post below. I know, it looks ugly….

I hope this helps….
