All of our yesterdays

Here's what I wrote over on the old College server I've been using for my WordPress blog for years now:  
While my academic blog has not been the most active creature in the sea, I still wish to maintain it. The server on which the blog currently sits is getting fairly old, however, and there are no plans to replace it with a new one. Given that it holds our record-keeping database for the SLCC Student Writing Center, I think I would prefer to free up some space on the server and move my blog off site to a blogger.com blog. At least in moving to blogger, I won’t be forced into upgrading WordPress ever week or so (I’m not kidding.) Maintaining PeerCentered on blogger.com has been relatively worry-free, after all.
The new spot is clintgardner.blogspot.com. Eventually I will auto-forward from this page to it. I’m still contemplating being all ego-maniacal and buying up clintgardner.org while it is up for grabs.
Long may she wave.


And yes, I do notice there is some WP code artifacts that didn't convert.  I doubt that I will ever be inspired enough by the blog to go back and clean it up.

As a rhetorical device, starting with a controversial statement is, most likely, meant to rile your audience up--get them to pay attention.  I don’t know about you, but I’m a little weary these days of the controversial--the attention-grabbing.
Ok, so in case you were wondering, my “controvers…
