Candleblog has moved. The redesign is complete (well, close enough). We have a new look and a (slightly) different address, but we're the same old Candleblog in all other respects. Our new home is here (http://www.candleboy.com/candleblog/). Please update your bookmarks and if you are a blogger or other webmaster who links to us, please update your links. It's a simple matter of replacing "we" with "candle" before the "blog" in the url. Thanks.

I hope you will enjoy Candleblog 2.0. We have eshewed Blogger and Haloscan (thanks for the ride, guys) in favor of the more robust and dense Geeklog engine.

I would like to thank Matty the Greek (and, by extension, Satan) for helping me during the set-up phase of the new site (he recently switched to Geeklog too, so we were blog nerds together). I'd also like to thank Flameape for helping me with the new logo design, and Candlebloggers Spine, Ntodd and Danz for their input.

If you are a regular Candleblog reader, I encourage you to sign up for an account at the new Candleblog--it's free, as anonymous as you would like, and allows you to post comments using your screen-name. You don't have to sign up to post comments, but they will be "anonymous" if you don't.

Now, for a trip down memory lane, take a look at our first Blogger page, which is still up. Click through the various iterations of the blog to get a sense of our progression. Has it really only been five months?

Incidentally, that is why I'm making this move now. Blogger was sufficient for most of my blogging needs, but I knew an upgrade was inevitable and Geeklog has a great search feature and other advances that I knew I would want to make use of down the road. Now that I'm sure I will continue blogging for the foreseeable future (and that it's not just a passing fad), I want to be in a place that I can grow into, not grow out of.

Enjoy the new space, stop by often, leave lots of comments. Candleblog is dead. Long live Candleblog!
