Initial blog entry on davidthorne.net

Sun, 04/04/2010 - 14:21 |  dthorne

Hello,
OK I have decided to close down blog.cferthorney.com and transfer it to here.  Over time I have been slowly migrating stuff to davidthorne.net and have now decided to make a concerted effort to migrate my content over, prior to my domain renewel in August! :)  I am not ditching cferthorney in it's entirety, I'll still be tweeting there (When I remember) but my blog will be based here from now on.
Dave
