Sunrise

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

But finally, after finding a new web host (electronic hat tip to Doug Haslam for recommending BlueHost – very easy to work with!) and tinkering with WordPress for a couple of weeks, I’m pleased to announce that effective immediately, my primary blogging will be done here at BryanPerson.com.

My Bryper.com site isn’t going away completely, though. I’ll keep it online as an archive of my last two years’ worth of blogging. But unless I change my mind or am convinced otherwise, those posts won’t be imported to this blog. While Bryper.com is the place where I made my first true entry into social media, I kind of like the idea of starting this blog anew.

I will try to bring along my RSS readers from the old site, though. If I’ve done this right and properly redirected my feed, subscribers to my former blog — I hope that means you! — will see this post in their RSS readers without a hitch.

What you’ll see from me

I like to write and talk about social media, social networking, and building community — both online and off — and what the the tools and tactics of the social web can mean for you or your business.

But I have other interests, too. I’m a diehard Boston Red Sox fan, for example (first pitch of the 2008 season will be thrown 70 hours and 57 minutes from now — not that I’m counting, of course), so expect a little sporting news thrown into my blogging mix. I’m also a guy who likes eating breakfast.

How you can participate

Blogging’s a lot more fun when I hear from you, so I encourage you to leave comments. If I should happen to say something that’s wise every now and again, I won’t mind if you tell me so. But when I’m all wet, don’t be shy to let me know that, either.

So welcome to BryanPerson.com, my new blogging home. It’s good to be here — and to have you along for the ride.
