You may have noticed we had a small downtime. A small hiccup, and all seems fine now (save a few broken images here and there). The RSS feed should be working again as well. We’ll get the previous template back shortly.
If you find any issues please let us know.
A small bug slipped through when we moved to the new blog — comments didn’t work (and we just thought you had nothing to say). Anyhow, it seems fixed, so speak your mind.
If you’re reading this then we have successfully moved the blog over to it’s new home. If you’re not reading this then something has gone awry and we apologise profusely.
Hope you like the new digs, if you have any comments or suggestion please let us know.
Where does the time go? It’s hard to believe that it has been just over a year since we started this blog, but yet here we are. When we started, we were all unsure of what to expect and unsure how we would be received by our customers and the rest of the book blogs. Happily, for us it has been a great experience - it’s been fun to watch the blog grow and have the interaction with the rest of the community and our customers. We hope you’ve enjoyed us being here as well.
We look forward to pressing on with Reading Copy, making it better for you and for us - and with that said - please let us know how we can do that … what would like to see more of / less of? More about AbeBooks, wacky book stories, author interviews… let us know.
One last thing - we’ll be moving the blog to a new home shortly (fingers crossed), so stay tuned for a bit more details on that.
Office move day is creeping closer all the time.
The ongoing construction activity in Victoria has made things challenging, as well as a some poor weather compounding the issues. There seems to be something of a boom going on, everytime you turn around another condo development is getting built. But things look good for AbeBooks to move shortly (I don’t dare say the date lest I jinx things). We’ve been looking forward to moving for sometime now, and there has been a lot of planning. Perhaps once we are settled in we can post a few pictures on Flickr.
And speaking of moving. We are planning to move this ol’ blog to a new location. It will finally get a location on the abebooks.com domain. Reading Copy will give up the WordPress hosted domain and switch to the self-hosted solution. It should give us more flexibility in terms of design and features. We’ll post more on that as we get a bit closer to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
For those that are so inclined — there is an RSS feed for all the posts here on Reading Copy. Just add http://feeds.feedburner.com/abebooks to your favourite RSS reader.
Not sure what RSS is? Wikipedia has a long technical description or a simpler and more readable description is at this BBC Help page.
Here we are at the beginning of this little project. Let’s push things forward, shall we?
