Big Site News!

Dear loyal Beerocrat readers,

As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't been active on this blog ever since my spring break last year. I figured I would let you in on what's been going on. In the months since I've published my last post, I've:

1. Successfully switched jobs,
2. Passed another semester of grad school,
3. Went on an awesome vacation to Ireland and Scotland, and
4. Purchased two tickets for the upcoming Great American Beer Festival in Denver

However, there is a fifth thing that is on my list of stuff getting done, one that isn't quite so apparent. I am going to be moving this blog to a new address: www.TheBeerocrat.com! Being the web developer that I am, I am writing the entire codebase and designing the site myself so that I can have complete control over how my site should look, act, and feel.

Right now, all going to thebeerocrat.com does is take you back to this Blogspot blog, but that will change in the near future. I have been working behind-the-scenes to get things up and running and integrating it with social media, Web 2.0, and other overused tech buzzwords. For example, all of my established blog posts are now ported over (including all your comments) and my permanent RSS and Atom feeds have been created and tested. And, like everyone these days, I now have a Facebook page and Twitter feed which will be integrated into the site.

RSS Feeds: Atom and RSS 2.0
Facebook: Jonathan "Beerocrat"
Twitter: @thebeerocrat

Hopefully this will mark a positive step for the Beerocrat and its followers. I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this blog the way it is. I also would like to thank Blogger for the more than three years of blogging that I've done.

And, as always: Prost!
