Goodbye Mets Maize, Hello Maize Pages

The only way I know how to say goodbye.

So Maize Pages "officially" launches today. I am wrapping things up over here at Mets Maize and will be exclusively posting on the new domain from now on. Real content begins next week but first, some transition notes (these are the exact same items listed over at Maize Pages right now):

• Obviously, you can delete anything Mets Maize-related and re-subscribe to Maize Pages on the right hand side (you can be a "Follower"!). For those of you who use Google Reader or other RSS feeds, you can make the appropriate change.
  
• Twitter: @MaizePages. I don't think you have to do anything; Twitter lets you change your handle and convert everything over without losing your followers.
  
• The site is still very much a work in progress. If you catch any errors, please let me know. Check out some of the new tabs/links; I'll be throwing up more stuff, like offer boards, as we go. Also, if there's content you'd think would be interesting, please let me know. Suggestions are always welcome.
  
• Other bloggers: I created a preliminary BlogRoll on the left side. If you'd like to be added (or removed, I guess), please let me know.
  
  

Finally, I guess I'll do a semi-sign off even though I'm not technically retiring from the blogosphere... yet. Mets Maize started pretty spontaneously just under 2 years ago with little direction and no experience. And though the initial goal was to simply get me to write more often and consistently, regardless of topic, it's grown into something much more substantial and personally gratifying. I still largely have no idea what I'm doing but I love doing it. And so the experiment continues.

Mets Maize also started off as an extension of the numerous texts and email chains I used to (and still have) with my friends; the blog became a forum for those discussions. My friends and family have been not only my most avid fans but also my most loyal readers and for that, I am eternally grateful. Along this journey, I have also made new friends, including fellow bloggers, who I hope to continue working with and exchanging ideas. Their generous links directed thousands of new readers who would have otherwise never found this random blog. And those readers are still pissed they were ever linked in the first place.

So thank you all. Please join me over at Maize Pages. GO BLUE!
