WELCOME TO THE BRAND NEW, SAME OLD WASHINGTON CANARD

If you're reading this, then it's safe to assume you've figured out that the Washington Canard is no longer being updated at http://washingtoncanard.blogspot.com, and that all new updates will be taking place right here, at http://www.washingtoncanard.com. If not, then it was nice having you as a reader.

This move has been a long time coming. I've owned this domain for almost two years now, and have tried to move this account to MT and WP in this space, but I always held back, for two reasons:
    1. I liked this modified ancient Blogspot template, and
    2. I wasn't finding one I really liked for either non-Blogger platform.
Sometime this week I realized I could just point the account at this domain -- something Welcome to Blog has done since the very beginning (not that I didn't know I could do it, just that it never occurred to me (as if that's a defense)). I've had plenty of complaints about Blogger in the past and chances are good I will have them again. If I ever do move this thing off Blogger (or my comments out of Haloscan) it'll be long time coming.

So just before Thanksgiving I'd made my decision. And then this morning, with the tryptophan and whiskey finally out of my system, I woke up and decided to get it done. And that's that.

Unfortunately, any links to old posts will no longer work. I've updated a few where it seemed reasonable to do so, like with the "Great Spams" link collection below. Otherwise it will drop you off back at the old Canard page (which I re-registered immediately after switching the hosting, lest it be snapped up by spammers).

And although the archives seem to be working, there may well be some nasty surprises going forward. If you notice anything specifically not working, feel free to let me know in the comments or via e-mail.
