This Sunday is going to be a big day for me, but if all goes well you won’t notice a thing.
The blog will look the same as usual and all nine+ years of posts and comments will be online. The only difference on Sunday night will be my new address … but you’ll hardly notice. The magic of the Internet will send you to the new location (via 301 redirects) if all goes well.
Here’s what I’m up to.
When I retired from WQED more than a year ago, I thought about moving my blog to my own address but I was not up for the challenge back then. Life is calmer now so I’ve decided to go out on my own.
I’ve bought a new address and I’m packing my virtual boxes for Sunday afternoon’s move. If all goes well, Outside My Window will be up and running at this new address by Sunday night, November 29:
birdsOutsideMyWindow.org
Keep in mind that you don’t have to do anything. I’m still at WQED.org for the next few days, and after the move is final you’ll be automatically redirected to my new site.
Sit back and relax. And stay tuned.

I love the first post, “The blog isn’t here yet.” Best of luck with the move and I hope no boxes are “lost.” 🙂
Congrats, Kate! These changes keep the blood coursing. Thanks for making it easy for us, and thanks for keepin’ on keepin’ on. We would miss you greatly if you did not want to stay. Happy Thanksgiving!
wow, good for you! what a big move, must have had lots of behind the scenes work to do before you accomplished that! I cant wait to see your new site! best good luck to you and thank you so much for all you do!!!
Anne, thanks for the encouragement. The site will look exactly the same at first. I can’t afford to break too many things at once. 😉
At least this move doesn’t involve a u-haul! At any rate, congrats on your own domain.
Great news! Congratulations on your move!
