The Velvet Foghorn is officially done. Much to my amazement and joy, I followed the Codex instructions and was able to move the site into the archive folder in a matter of minutes without a hitch. Amazing!
OK, so that’s all folks. The old stuff is still here for reference. Iffin’ I get the urge to post anything else, I will do it over here. But I am going to seriously think about it first because I don’t want to develop a case of bloghorrea.
Take care and be well.
Step #1 in dismantling The Velvet Foghorn is completed. I have made PDFs of the most frequently visited posts.
By the end of this week, I will set up an archive of the PDFs at a non-thevelvetfoghorn.com location.
By the end of the month, I will permanently redirect all thevelvetfoghorn.com pages to the PDF archive index.
Sometime in March, 2009, the domain registration expires and the domain goes back into the general pool. From that point on, any bookmarks starting with “http://thevelvetfoghorn.com” will go to wherever the new owner of the domain points them (probably a link farm).
I’ve been threatening to quit this blog for a long time but this time I am making it official. In March of 2009, my domain name will come up for renewal and I will just let it expire, thus ending the run of The Velvet Foghorn. In truth, The Velvet Foghorn’s time has come and gone several times over so please join me in saying, “Buh-bye.”
I may post a couple of new things until then…or maybe not. I may start something new (different type of blog or whatever)…or maybe not. Can’t say.
Our 2 hour Black Friday drive back from visiting family this Thanksgiving turned into 4 hours. I guess we should feel just plain lucky that unlike this poor guy, we encountered an orderly order of the philistine society.
I came across this but I can’t remember who turned me on to it. Really cool stuff.
LOL from the past.
I should have bought some papers yesterday.

I went to bed before Obama was declared the winner, fully confident that he’d win in a landslide. I woke up at 4 AM thinking, “what if?” No what ifs. I made a video.
