Dukeville has moved
by Sami Köykkä
As you can see, Dukeville looks a bit different than just couple of days ago.
I decided to move Dukeville from Squarespace to Posterous. The reason of the move wasn't Squarespace - it's a great service and I still warmly recommend it for bloggers all over the world. However, Posterous is a great site too. I especially like it's ease of use: you just email stuff to your blog's address and Posterous does all the dirty work. And Posterous is free. I had high hopes for Dukeville but because I hadn't enough time to write regularly, the usage of Dukeville didn't grow as much as I expected. Paying monthly charges for such a small site seemed futile so I decided to go with the free alternative.
Moving was extremely easy. I just gave Posterous Dukeville's information and in couple of minutes everything was in place. All the URL's stayed the same and even Google Analytics continued functioning without any disruption. If you use Dukeville's Feedburner-powered RSS feed, that stayed the same too. Excellent.
For visual interface, I chose one of the ready-made Posterous templates. They are not as sleek as in Squarespace's so Dukeville might seem a bit rough around the edges. I'll try to come up with a solution for that. Or just try to get used to this :)
Currently my options would be to unsubscribe the paper version and start buying iPad issues (expensive and lose the archive), keep on subscribing and buy iPad versions (even more expensive) or just continue using PDF archive (which is what I'm doing now).
So at the moment I'm rather unhappy customer.
