Hey everyone. Just looking for some advice with this post. Most of you know that I own JerseySmarts.com in addition to a number of other websites. The original purpose of purchasing JerseySmarts.com was to eventually make THAT site my main blog and have this URL simply forward to the new domain name. As we can plainly see, that has not happened.
In order to streamline my daily website updates and create (hopefully) a higher visibility site, I’ve been thinking about finally making this merge. Both sites get about the same amount of hits (given the story, time of posting, relevance of my meanderings, etc), though Joe’s Journal currently sits at 1,106 posts while JerseySmarts.com sits at 368 posts. Joe’s Journal also has some 1,011 comments while JerseySmarts.com has 111. None of this information would be lost during the merger and it is likely that both designs would be thrown away for a new, more up-to-date design.
Thoughts?
If you won’t lose any of the work you’ve already put into this site and if you don’t think that making the switch would cause a significant amount of trouble (things breaking for no good reason is the worst part of changing a system), I say go ahead. Especially go ahead if you were already wanting to change the design anyway.
Now that Sirius and XM are merging I will need a new radio in my car. Am I going to have to get a new computer as a result of your merger? I hope not.
Ha ha ha! Thanks, guys. I think the sentiment is the same from everyone I talk to in person, too. As long as the content stays the same and both URLs lead to that content, then I might as well merge the two sites.
Hopefully I can get this done before September. If not, it might take a bit longer – so everyone be on the lookout!
