Update on the new blog
Get on with it already!!, you may be thinking.
But after the Big Crash of this site a few days ago—which remains undiagnosed, but which everyone is virtually 100% sure had nothing to do with my efforts at creating a new one—I’ve become more nervous about the transfer of the old content to the new site. For various reasons too tedious to mention, that appears to be the best approach, however. So I’m planning to hire someone to do the task for me instead of tackling it myself. But so far I haven’t succeeded in finding a competent taker.
So there will be a little pause in the Grand Opening of the new site. I’ll be announcing it, of course, before that opening occurs. In the meantime, the new site is currently open for your exploration although for now I’m posting my new work here. But if anything should happen to this old site in the meantime (knock, knock), please go to the new one for updates and for new posts.
The URL of the new site is easy to remember, I think, because it’s descriptive: http://thenewneo.com .
Oh, I was hoping for “neo-neoneocon.com”.

I wanted to get away from the “neocon” designation. People misunderstand what it means, plus since my political change happened so long ago it didnt seem so appropriate any more. But I’ve become known as “neo,” so I wanted to keep that part of it.
Thus, the new neo.
Also, some URLs are already taken. For example, neoneo and neosquared and ones like that. I wanted to be “com” and not “org” or “net.”
I understand completely. “Neocon” always conjurs up Paul Wolfowitz (sp?). I was really just being a smartaleck.
If you are still looking for a web person to help with the transfer you might look at http://www.upwork.com. It is a site to find freelancers. I have used it a few times and been happy with the results. For more expensive (but much better vetted) talent there is also http://www.toptal.com.
London Trader:
Thanks. I already tried there and no responses. I probably will try at wpfixit. We’ll see.
