So I’ve gone and moved my website to a new domain name, from gaplauche.com to gaplauche.com. The new blog url is now, of course, gaplauche.com/blog/. No need for any ‘www’ prefix.
I figure the new domain is more professional and SEO-friendly.
I could have kept the same Feedburner url, but decided instead to make it match the new domain name. So if you’re reading this post on one of my old rss feeds, you’ll need to change your subscription url to http://feeds.feedburner.com/gaplauche if you want to keep following my blog. I’ll soon be deactivating the old ones.
All of the old gaplauche.com urls should redirect automatically to their gaplauche.com counterparts. Please let me know if you run into any trouble in this regard.
I suppose now I should start blogging here more, eh?
Most of my blogging lately has been going on over at The Libertarian Standard and Prometheus Unbound.
I may cross-post from time to time, but I don’t want this blog to consist merely of duplicate content. So please do follow those sites if you aren’t already — TLS for general news, commentary, and analysis from an Austro-Libertarian perspective; Prometheus Unbound for news and reviews of fiction, primarily science fiction and fantasy, from a libertarian perspective. Oh, and we’re looking for more contributors to Prometheus Unbound, if you’re interested.
Last week I launched a new website called Prometheus Unbound. I aim for it to be a sort of online “magazine,” a libertarian review of fiction and literature. The site will feature reviews, news commentary, articles and editorials, and eventually (I hope) interviews, from a libertarian perspective. I’m entertaining the possibility of publishing original fiction in the undetermined future, but won’t be doing so anytime soon.
I’ve already got a number of posts up, some old and republished from other sites, some new. I’m hoping this won’t be a one-man show, so I’m looking for some regular writers as well as submissions from irregular or part-time contributors. There are already a few others on board, so you should start to see posts from them before long. If you’re interested in contributing a review, news commentary, or the like, contact me.
You can learn more about Prometheus Unbound, my reasons for creating it, and what I’m looking for in submissions by starting with my introductory post. I’m particularly interested in science fiction and fantasy prose fiction, but Prometheus Unbound will be open to submissions dealing with just about any genre or medium, including film, tv, comics and graphic novels, and poetry.

Cross-posted at The Libertarian Standard.
After completing a major redesign of The Libertarian Standard site, I decided to do the same thing to my much-neglected personal site as well.
Most of the changes I made there, I made here. There are a few exceptions since I don’t have quite the same setup as TLS. I have a separate front/landing page and blog page, whereas the blog page is the front page there. I don’t publish articles here. I use some sidebar widgets here that we don’t use on TLS, and vice versa. But you’ll notice I moved to a 2-column layout and added a Blog Archives page and a Tag Cloud page. I didn’t bother adding a Popular page, because I just don’t get enough traffic yet to justify it. Someday I might.
Sidebar widgets have been moved around, for the most part only appearing on pages in which they are relevant and useful for what the reader is presumably doing on said page. Hopefully, you’ll find the layout to be cleaner, more useful, and the site to load faster.
I still need to work on properly categorizing and tagging my old blogposts; the legacy of moving my blog from Blogger to self-hosted WordPress after several hundred posts. There are still many formerly-internal links in my old posts that link back to posts on my old Blogger blog, which I have set up to redirect back here. One day maybe I’ll get around to fixing them.
Anyway, I’ll continue to make minor changes and improvements over time, but the major ones have been accomplished. What do you think?
There’s a new website and group blog in town, by a great group of radical Austro-Libertarians, including yours truly. It’s The Libertarian Standard. I’ve been pre-occupied with admin work for the site the past couple weeks, getting it set up and looking nice, but I’ll be getting around to blogging relatively soon. I’ll probably be doing a lot of cross-posting between TLS and here. Hopefully TLS will help break my blogging dry spell. In the meantime, check out the introductory post and the About page as well as all the great posts already published by my fellow TLS bloggers. We’ve also got a Twitter account (libstandard) and a Twitter list of tweeting TLS contributors as well as a Facebook fan page set up. I hope you enjoy our work!
