According to Technorati, only two other blogs—Dustbury and Let the Finder Beware—have updated their blogrolls to reflect the sudden and virtually unannounced end of Yippee-Ki-Yay! and its succession by this here bloggish incarnation of The McGehee Zone. For the time being, I’m keeping most of the old links alive through the magic of mod_rewrite, but that won’t go on forever. I can’t really afford to continue maintaining four domains, especially if I’m no longer using one of them actively anymore.
There’s plenty of time to update blogrolls—and for those sufficiently motivated to use whatever mass-editing capability they may have at their disposals to change outstanding links to individual posts (changing “yippee- ki- yay. us” to “mcgeheezone.com/ee” should be all it takes, in most cases). I’ve been one of the few bloggers that has tried to keep old links alive, or to revive broken ones, but that was back when the pond was smaller and the big fish fewer. Not that breaking links ever seemed to hurt the big fish at any time…
Anyway, just a heads-up. I haven’t decided how soon I’ll let that old domain go, only that I will.
