A new home for the Scotsman
The original Greensboro racin' blogger has left AOL for Blogspot. Think of it as leaving, oh, I dunno, Roush Racing for Penske, but without the brush with the law.
It looks like The Scotsman is in reruns for a couple of days until he gets the new site tested and tuned. His new site is here. Make sure to update your bookmarks.
Stay tuned ...
Update, 2 p.m.: It's silly season among the racing blogs, too. The Diecast Dude is drafting behind The Scotsman and heading to blogspot as well. He rips AOL's new banner ads here, which is why he and Bram both made the move.
I'd be irritated, too, if I were blogging on my time. But I'm blogging on company time, so, yeah, The Spotter always will have ads.
What, you thought I was doing this because I loved to ramble on about racin'? ;)
Thursday update: CJ's Happy Hour also has a new home.

Hmmm... interesting... I've used blogspot before but didn't really like it, hope he finds it of better use than I did.

Good move for both. AOL has been, is and will always be a piece of garbage.
I'll bet the number of commenters raises. The AOL sign-in feature sucks beyond belief and has kept me and a lot of other people from both sports and political blogs from commenting.

Since I was an AIM blogger, mine had ads any way. Therefore, I'm not going anywhere. Besides, I'm too lazy to do the linkage AGAIN.

Although I moved my Nascar blog to blogspot, I still kept my personal journal on aol. As of 4 hours ago that journal has been moved to blogspot as well. There is a mass exodus from aol j-landers,it's incredible.

CJ just e-mailed ... she has moved her place from AOL to livejournal for now.
Which is where I might be shortly ... for the first time ever, MT has locked up and won't let me in, so there won't be any blogging from me this morning.
Whether that's a cause for celebration or concern, well, that's up to you. ;)
