GearBits Is 7 Years Old Today

| No Comments
I started this blog 7 years ago, with no real idea where it would lead.  Since then, I've messed around with it, abandoned it, invited my friends to collaborate on it, adapted it, stressed over it, ignored it, and relied on it.  And both it and I have changed.

In a recent upgrade on Movable Type, many of the page URLs were changed, so Google lost a lot of my inbound links.  That made it harder for people to find the pages they were looking for, which isn't good.

Despite that, it's still here.

And I don't plan on pulling the plug any time soon.

I'm sure that's a relief to the 4 of you who read this semi-regularly.

Thanks.

p.s. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.  I do read those...especially the interesting ones.
