I Relaunch My Blog!

Posted on 18 November 2008 by DChetty

I started taking my blog serious earlier this year and it grew rapidly. I never really received the support from the blogosphere that I deserved, except from a handful of fellow bloggers (and my most loyal reader, Island-Chic!), and many times I have considered quiting.

But I kept at it and months later, my blog has overgrown the functionality offered by the Blogger platform and it has become necessary to move it to a platform that can support a custom domain, highly customizable templates and ironically, better SEO support.

With this in mind, I have launched my blog on www.DChetty.co.za and will discontinue posting on this domain. I will leave my previous blog up for a few weeks, until all my faithful readers have been redirected to my new domain. I will then delete that blog entirely!

I launch today with no love from Google or any of the blog aggregators and will need to start at the very bottom of the pile. Amatomu currently ranks me at 1257th on their list! My challenge is to break the top 300 before the year ends and the top 100 within 3 months from that!

I look forward to your support on my blog and I’m excited about hosting many comment conversations with you!
