Welcome to the new home of Upgrade: Travel Better. Same blog, different address, more features (coming soon). The old site will no longer be updated.

If you haven’t subscribed to the feed, you’re invited to do so. You also have the option of receiving new posts via e-mail; there is a sign-up option in the “Syndicate” section of the right column.

In some ways, it was hard to leave the old site (and its Google PageRank) behind. All in all, Blogger and Blogspot.com have been generally good to me, and I feel a little bad moving the site away (especially after they named the site a “Blog of Note” a few weeks ago…) But the interface has its limitations, and I’ve been frustrated with repeated site downtime and general reliability.

For those who might care, this new site runs on WordPress and is hosted on BlueHost (affiliate/referral link), which I can recommend as a fantastic bang for the buck.

All the old content will eventually appear here. The posts (including your comments!) are all already here, but the graphics haven’t transferred. All in good time. I’ll be tinkering with layout, updating categories, transferring images, etc., for weeks to come, but the transition is underway. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks to everyone for reading, and welcome (back).
