A few weeks ago, I decided that I’d rather switch BandVox (my celtic punk music review site) over to WordPress instead of continuing to pay GoDaddy horrible amounts of money for website tonight. Website tonight is such a pain to use (though it’s better since they upgraded it- I still hate it) that I just stopped updating all together.

Unfortunately, I may get hit with a duplicate content penaltysince I can’t keep the review urls the same, but that’s really not a big deal since the main traffic I got were people searching for Ceann lyrics (which I didn’t have) and a handful of friends who liked to see what’s new. All I have to do is tell my friends that the platform is changing, but since the url is the same, no big deal.

The biggest change is that I’m planning to change the focus from Celtic punk to Celtic everything. Music wise, not everything. So, right now I’m just working on getting my affiliate sites set up as quickly as possible (the ones that I’ve started, I mean) so that my time is once again freed up for blogging. And… maybe for my husband too. We’ll see.

Also, I set up a basic Celtic music store to go along with BandVox. The logo is pathetic (but stupid photo explosion wouldn’t do what I wanted!) and I may have to change the colors…. plus I plan to add a few specialty menu links. But it’s a start, and I want to get it indexed before… yup, my trip. I’m telling you, I’m gonna make more money on vacation that I do when I’m working!

Now I’ve got to go eat so I have energy to tranfer all those reviews to the new WordPress platform. Wish me luck!
