And it ends here.

April 23rd, 2010

It was just a couple of days ago that I posted about the major changes coming to deandagati.com. I said how it’s going to become more integrated with social networks: that the blog will now be through Tumblr and the videos now through YouTube. While all of that was true, there was also something in the post that was a flat out lie. I said that this is going to be a summer project, that nothing is changing yet. Well, here we are, five days later, and this WordPress blog has already come to an end.

It was a pretty unexpected change, but the new site is so much better than the old one, and much easier to keep up with, so you should definitely check it out at deandagati.com.

The loss of this blog is not all bad, because I’m not taking any of the content posted here offline. All 200+ posts will stick around in their entirety, comments still activated, videos still playable, and pictures still… there. In the move over to Tumblr, I didn’t have the option to bring posts from another blog in, but I didn’t want to delete them all together — a lot of my life is on this site. So everything stays.

The best news of all though, is even though this blog is ending, another one is just beginning.

THE BLOG CONTINUES: http://blog.deandagati.com

Peace out, WordPress.

Who uses Tumblr?

April 18th, 2010

Deandagati.com is about to expire, so I renewed it for two more years, but this website has always been faced with a problem.

For some reason, I’ve always wanted deandagati.com to be completely self contained. All blog posts, videos, pictures, contests, whatever, are posted here, and solely here. Yeah, maybe there would be a link on Facebook, but there is really no way to see aspects of the site unless you physically go to deandagati.com.

Well that’s just stupid.

This summer, deandagati.com is going to be completely overhauled. The site isn’t going to look or work at all like it does now. While I’ve been really impressed at the amount of hits and support I get under it’s current platform (I love you all), the site’s going to be implemented with social networking websites so that posts can be found and shared elsewhere, further promoting the site, and hopefully getting more visitors.

All blog posts will be through Tumblr.

All videos will be through YouTube.

Links to everything will be found on the Facebook fan page.

You’ll be able to subscribe/follow/fan on all three sites.

As for right now, however, nothing is changing. So keep hitting up deandagati.com like you’ve always done, and I’ll try to keep you entertained with my ramblings and stupid videos.

Late.

UPDATE ::: Turns out Tumblr is even cooler & easier than I thought. This change is going to happen sooner than originally planned.

Dear Facebook, STOP CHANGING STUFF!

February 4th, 2010

Ughhhhhhhh I hate change.

Where does Facebook find the time to change everything, all the time, when half the features on the site don’t even work like they should!?

However, now that I’ve said that, this change is actually kind of nice. It’s so much more organized. Friend requests, messages, and notifications are all in one place up there by the Facebook logo. But what I don’t understand is: why am I the only one who has this?
