Haven’t done one in ages so thought I’d kick it off in SA (if I can make such a bold claim).

So you simply list the alphabet and type in the corresponding letter to your address bar of your browser and enter the first url that appears for that letter:

a – absa.co.za (Online banking changed my life)
b – bit.ly (Gotta keep URL’s short)
c – chrome.google.com/extensions (Looking in to Chrome extensions for Mac)
d – digg.com (No idea what that’s doing there)
e – explosm.net (The hilarious home of Cyanide and Happiness)
f – facebook.com (Uhu)
g – gmail.com (It’s the hub of my world)
h – http://gmail.com (just brought up the first “http”)
i – isohunt.com (Downloads, lots of ‘em)
j – jakeandamir.com (The best webisode in the world right now)
k – knowyourmeme.com (Know your meme crops up in a meme, shocking)
l – lamebook.com (It’s the lame-center of the Fbook)
m – maxgames.com (Typo on a gaming site I was looking for)
n – nicharalambous.com (Not surprising)
o – onthegrid.mobi (Work)
p – posterous.com (Lifestreaming)
q – qatarairways.com (if you can believe it, I got a “Q”! Was searching for flights to France.)
r – readwriteweb.com (Techhub of my world)
s – sarocks.co.za (Not surprising)
t – twitter.com (Not surprising)
u – ultimate-guitar.com (Guitar tab resource helping me learn my favourites)
v – vintage pin-ups (Search term that I have been obsessing over. Chrome allows you to search in address bar).
w – wap.thegrid.co.za (Work)
x – xe.com (Currency site)
y – youtube.com (Shock, horror)
z – zoopy.com ( – )

So there you have it… my URL ABC’s.

Top notch. Now let’s see yours.

I’m on holiday by the sea but I am blogging. I have an excuse: Jen is studying so I gave her the room alone without distractions.

I noticed that my blog has not been up since I tried to change the URL on Friday morning. So I have changed the URL back to shutterview for the meantime but have left you all with my new blog look, direction and feel. I know this is another redesign but I promise it will be last.

I hope that things get sorted out soon. Check out my flickr account for photos of my trip. I will be blogging about issues and things when I get back on Saturday next week. Have a great week.

I think that this is a necessary movement for bloggers in the very near future and thought that over December it would be a good idea to get started. So I have emailed some people that I regard as knowledgeable in this area and have done some of my own research. Thus far the best solution that I have found involves Wordpress. A new feature has just been added to the Wordpress services; a feature that allows wordpress.com url’s to be moved to .com url’s. I think this is a brilliant idea. The only problem with this is that I am obviously a blogger user.

Apparently Wordpress offers a service that allows for the importing of blogger blogs to Wordpress blogs. This might have to be done.

There is a charge of $15 /per year if you are purchasing the desired url from Wordpress. If you have already purchased the url then the charge is a mere $10/per year or at the most R100/per year. I think this is a fantastic price for a brilliant deal and I think that I shall be making the moving to nicharalambous.com sometime very, very soon!

I am tired of Googling my blog and finding another site. I am tired of hiding behind my blog with my opinions. I think I am perfectly happy for people to know who I am by the name of my blog. I have never hidden behind my blog url but also never promote who I am.

I am just a bit stuck about hosting, url purchase, design etc etc etc. So, if you have any suggestions, thoughts or comments, feel free to send them through.

I am considering an obvious but easy http://nicharalambous.com as the new url.

Is it worth the admin of resubmitting, reclaiming, technorati ranking, google ranking, alexia, RSS feeds, subscription losses etc etc etc? I’m not sure, but I am sure that I am fed up with blogger in a big way.
