Did the ALL CAPS title grab you? I hope so. I seldom do that. I’m not a big fan of ALL CAPS, as it seems like I’m yelling at you or something. But I did want to grab your attention for just a moment for this brief, but important announcement.
As most of you know I have found myself the author of a Christian Memoir to be released this summer through Winslet Press. Don’t worry. There will be more developments to share on that topic as we inch closer to release. I can’t wait!
As I branch out with my writing I am becoming aware of changes that must occur for me to grow too. One such change is a new address that can grow with me, a place where my book, and my future books may flourish.
I will continue to blog regularly. No worries there. My blogs will just originate from a different site. I will move from my pre-existing domain at savortheessenceoflife.com to my new site briegowen.com. All my previous content can still be found, just at the new site that will serve as an author page and blog site.
I expect this move to take place sometime Thursday, April the 24th. Don’t worry. I’ll make another announcement after the move is complete and to showcase my new website. It’s functioning now, but will look a bit different after the two sites combine.
What do you need to do you ask? If you are subscribed via email to my blog then you don’t need to do a thing. Your subscription will be moved to the new site and you’ll still receive emails when I post a new blog.
If you’re a follower of my blog via WordPress or Network blogs then you will not automatically be taken with me like my email subscribers. I will also not be using Network blogs at my new address. I would suggest you subscribe as an email follower at the new site briegowen.com.
If you’re a blog reader via my shared posts on Facebook then you’ll still find me sharing there. You’ll just need to realize that the blog domain will no longer be savortheessenceoflife.com like you are used to seeing. That will remain my working blog’s title, but the domain will read my name “briegowen.”
Facebook can be a little tricky sometimes about when and how you see posted information. You may not always see a post in your newsfeed. If you enjoy my posts and wait until they come across your feed then you might be missing them. This is another reason subscribing via email is a win-win situation. You won’t miss posts this way, and you can still share them via Facebook or other social networking sites via the share buttons located within the blog.
Seriously, I love it when you share my posts. And I adore when you comment!
I will be setting up a site redirect to ease the transition. This means if you go to savortheessenceoflife.com then you will automatically be redirected to the briegowen.com site. This helps, but is only temporary. Again I would suggest subscribing via email to always be kept up-to-date.
I thank you for your patience and support as I move sites. I can promise this move will be my last, and briegowen.com will be my forever home.
If you haven’t given my Facebook Author page a “like” then I would invite you to do so now by clicking this link. That will also help keep you up-to-date on the book release. Or you can find me on Twitter @briegowen.
I want to take this time to thank you all for your support and readership of my dream as it has developed. I couldn’t do this without you. Hang in there with me my friends!
