Welcome!

Posted by Deutlich on January 27th, 2009 | Filed under: Uncategorized

Stretch out, sit back, and make yourselves comfortable. I have officially moved my blog, Speak On It, to a (dot)com.

I feel like I’ve stepped into the 21st century.

I mean, I’ve had the (dot)com address since December, but being as how I am super slow and occasionally way too lazy, I didn’t start pestering Jessica for a blog design until fairly recently. And speaking of Jess from Delicious Design Studio, can I just say that I would give her my left kidney if she needed it?

I absolutely adore my new design. Not only was she super easy to reach, fantastically open to all my quirks and wicked nice to boot, but the price was right.

I mean. Truly.

I thank her from the very bottom of my lil’ ole heart.

Do yourselves a favor and hit her up for your blog (re)design!

While I’m on “thank yous” I have to extend a VERY big one to Nico. I mean, the man is fantastic in every way as it is. But he’s also hosting my blog on his server. Because he’s a fucking rock star.

I promise you all I won’t be moving again. This is now my new, permanent, home.

And I love it.

I hope you do too.

    Everyone’s been moving to their own domains recently, I’m constantly updating my G-reader.

    Gah! That gets annoying after a while, eh? I’m sorry to add to the clutter.

  27. 27 SA Says:

    Color me green with so much envy. Your new digs are tres awesome. Congrats.

  28. 28 Vanessa Says:

    AWESOME new digs! I adore the design! With everyone moving to their own domain, I’m really getting the bug. Have been standing at this edge for a while though….

    You should do it!

    I saw this design in Jess’ portfolio yesterday and I loved it…but of course I knew it was yours from the masthead. It looks great!

  31. 31 N. Steven Says:

    while i maintain the tendencies of a stalker, i must stay that i dig the new diggs (get it?)

    i may make that move once i’m more famous. more poems? more published books?

    something like that.

  32. 32 Essentially Me Says:

    Yay, you got your own domain too! I love the style of it!

    Next for me is to get a new template. Congrats!

  37. 37 Angela Says:

    First off–Congrats on your own new dotcom address! It’s kind of exciting, isn’t it?

    Secondly, I always appreciate your honesty, on your own blog and when leaving comments on others’. Honesty is what I NEED when it comes to guys, so I’m really glad that you told me what you thought of the situation. I am someone who ALWAYS thinks positively of everything, so I want things to work out, which is why I’m giving him another chance. I’m just not going to try so hard. If HE wants to see me, HE needs to make the effort now.

    Again, thank you.

    You’re welcome, dear. I hope it works out either way.

  38. 38 sequined Says:

    Your own dot com! It’s beautiful! I love the design and the un-cluttered but full-of-stuff set up. (Articulate, I know, but that’s how I describe it.)

    I knew exactly what you meant. :-D

  39. 39 andhari Says:

    yay to your own website, congrats. ANd the layout is sooo pretty too :)

  40. 40 Cessie Says:

    & Yes, Nico certainly is badass magnificent- and lucky me, I get to say it with some partiality bec. we’re family ;)

    I love that you blog too.

  41. 41 James Says:

    Nice one! Have your own unique design, and url does make a big difference. Plus you won’t have to deal with all those restrictions about adding widgets etc that you get on wordpress.com

    This is very true. And I love it. Also? HI! I thought you disappeared totally from the blog scene.

  42. 42 nuttycow Says:
