Well, hello there! As you might be able to notice, this is very different.
Sure enough, I've moved again. Babcock's Death Stare has been asked by the fine people at Bloguin to join the network. They've hooked us up with these sweet new digs, designed and set up for free. Take a while and explore, it's a change, but I think you'll all enjoy this.
Why did I move? I feel like this is a great opportunity. The Bloguin network is currently overhauling their hockey section and quality blogs are being pumped in en masse. This will hopefully get BDS a little more traffic -- if you're unaware, they host Pensblog, the largest team-specific blog out there. Most of the new traffic will most likely be Penguins fans trashing Detroit, but that's fine, because with the way this season has started, they'll fit right in with Wings fans trashing Detroit. I expect this to be a happy union.
On a personal level, I'm very honored to make this move. For years, I wanted to start up a Red Wings blog, but I had no idea what I was doing. I would get bored, post like three times, and then let it die. I think I had two blogs before I started WTF Holland. WTFH was.. not very successful. But there were at least two or three regular viewers, and that was enough to inspire me to get going. This summer, for whatever reason, people decided they cared what I had to say. I made the move to Babcock's Death Stare, and enjoyed a summer of solid traffic and excellent feedback. And that's encouraging, I'm glad I've found people can tolerate me while I ramble on about hockey, because my family and friends have long since given up.
And no worries. Aside from the new look and new address -- nothing has changed. I'd like to thank Derek, Dave, and Ben at Bloguin for making this transition very smooth, and for assuring me that I will not have to change the way I blog. I'll still write about what I want, when I want, and how I want, and that's very important to me. Everything's the same. I'm just hoping a move like this would help to continue building on the solid base of regulars we already see around here to continue to grow and generate solid Wings discussion. Also, as much as I loved WordPress, I can already tell that the platform that Bloguin runs up is going to allow me to do some pretty cool things. I intend fully to take advantage of them.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments, or just drop them in the comments box.
If not, welcome. Sit back and enjoy, this place should be up and kicking pretty soon.
