The Mine Shaft Gap has moved house!
It's true.
After more than 8 months (has it been that long?), we wanted a new home that was our very own, owner-occupied rather than rented (albeit for free) from Blogger. A place where we could knock down walls and add new rooms, paint it in gaudy colours, and put nails in the walls.
The new location is http://themineshaftgap.com/blog - if you have bookmarks you should update them now.
The new house was built with WordPress, a free and complete construction kit with an enormous user community, so a wealth of extra features and support is available.
Although we are living in our new house already, some of the renovations are not yet finished. For those visitors that I know personally, I'll soon send you all your own front door key, so you can come in and leave your own stuff here too if you want to. Of course, you will still need your key to get in - if I left the house unlocked I'd get the unscrupulous turning up and leaving rubbish lying around (comment spam).
Also, although I own the address, the "land" underneath my house is provided free of charge by the real estate vendor who sold me the address. In return for the free hosting I have to cop thumping ugly billboards over the front gate. Once I'm more settled in I'll cough up the cash for a more permanent block of land, either with this vendor or another, and the ugly advertising will come down.
Also, I'll keep this old place for storage as long as Blogger lets me. I'm not moving any of the pictures earlier than today's date - hopefully they will all still be visible on the walls of the new place, thanks to linked wall display panels.
So please come and visit. If I know you well don't bother registering at the new place yet, because when I send you your new key it will give you more freedom than the average visitor that just turns up.
See you soon.
