One fish two fish red fish blue fish.
Wednesday, October 24, 2007 @ 9:51 pm Just an update on things. Nothing spectacular, but hey, I’m tired of my only posts being memes. This post’s title also has nothing to do with anything.
I’ve started looking for post-graduation jobs both here and in Myrtle Beach, and of course it seems opportunities are everywhere except the beach. I mean, yeah, I’ve found a couple, but only one was slightly promising … and they’re definitely not falling into my lap like the Northern Virginia/DC ones are *sigh* I hope it gets easier once I’m actually there.
Since I only renew my domain for 1 year at a time, it is again up for renewal at the end of December. As usual, I’m torn — should I change my domain name to something more professional (like something-related-to-my-name.com) or stay with what I’ve had for 8 years? I don’t want to lose all my visitors (not to mention creating broken links on however many hundreds of sites that list my URL), but I also don’t want prospective employers to be turned away by something a 15-year-old created for Hanson and for fun, who never dreamed that in 8 years she’d be pursuing a related career. I also don’t want to have 2 separate domains. So, what should I do? Stay with my few loyal readers and keep my credibility? Or start fresh and jump into the “real,” adult world with a legitimate portfolio (i.e. not on Coppermine), new blog layout, and maybe even ditch the whole fanlisting thing? Your thoughts please …
Come December, I should:

- Get rid of this domain and start fresh. (14%, 1 Votes)
- Keep this domain and not change anything. (14%, 1 Votes)

Establish a new domain for professional type things and keep this.

If you want to move everything to a new domain, it’s really easy to use PHP to automatically redirect pages from your old domain to the new domain — Google will even pick it up, and change the search results over. You hang on to the old domain for a year or two while people learn the new URL, and then you can let it go, if you want.
