Rick West

Well, I’ve done it again. I’ve moved my blog to http://the-wests.net/rick. I know, I know, if you are one of the two people out there reading me :-), I’ve done this before. My reasoning this time is that the Edublogs community is meant to be for educators. I am one, of course, but I also do a some professional out-of-school work, and I wanted the blog to be part of my larger professional site. I also have been listening to several folks argue that you should have your intellectual property on your own server and domain, so you have control over it and cannot be constrained by communities that may fold, companies that may be bought out, or restrictions by domain/server owners. For example, at the University of Georgia you have to have a notice on every webpage hosted on their servers that your content does not represent UGA. Every single page! That is why I am no longer going to host anything at UGA! (except old stuff).

Anyway, so trot on over to http://the-wests.net/rick. It’s got a new look, I’ll soon be putting some new content there, and this will hopefully be my permanent intellectual home.

I hope! :-).
