maintenance bulletin!

Backside of Forty is undergoing a few minor renovations.  When I began this blog, it was nameless, and void of personality.  It was first thought that Jen and I would share it, both posting to it as a family scrapbook.  Hence, the original blog address... "jeffjenny.blogspot.com". 

The nameless blog became "mine", rather than "ours", however, quickly emerging as Backside of Forty and developing a personality as an extension of myself. 

I have wanted to "re-route" the blog to a more fitting address for a while, but it is no small task to successfully re-route it, while maintaining active links, followers and traffic statistics.

But... BoF just turned four years old and I decided it was time for a transition to a new address:


To make the transition as smooth as possible, I have created a carbon-copy of the blog to date and archived it so that most old links should still work.  In fact, that is where you are now.  No further posts will be made to this archived copy, but the link above will take you to the active blog (which still includes all past content).  To keep following along, please take a moment to save the link above to your favorites, set it in your readers or blog lists, make sure your "following" link is active on the new site... whatever it is that you do to visit BoF!  I appreciate the readers who, over the past four years, have found anything I have to write interesting enough to read.  I really appreciate those of you who have left comments here on the blog pages... comments are like a drug to bloggers... we can live several days off a good comment!  In fact... the four year anniversary is a great excuse just to leave a quick comment to let me know who actually reads this stuff (anonymous welcome)... with the exception of a few faithful commenters, I really have no idea who really visits my slice of the blogosphere!

Four! More! Years?  Nah... that's too political!  I'd like to last longer than that!
