Anniversary

It’s been just over a year since I posted my first blog entry on the Incidental Cyclist. What a year it has been. The site has gone over many changes during that time. Learning the ins and outs of WordPress. Learning how to extend it’s capabilities to provide value to my readers. It’s all been a steep but fun learning curve. We also went through a couple of iterations of how the site looks. It started out dark with light text then moved to this easier on the eyes theme a few months ago.

Site updates

Poll archives are now working. If you click on the link below the poll it will open a page to allow you to see the results of all the polls to date.

The weather widget has been updated to show the current evening’s weather beside the day’s weather.

I will no longer be updating The Incidental Cyclist calendar with weekly or recurring rides, all special rides and events will continue to be updated. For information about weekly or recurring rides please contact your local area clubs, visit their web sites or go to the Weekly Rides web site maintained by Jeff Viscount.

Welcome a new author

I would like to welcome a new post author to the Incidental Cyclist. Richard Paul, my nephew, will be writing about various aspects of riding and training in Union County. He is not a novice to cycling, but is new to riding on the road. If you are a regular reader you may have already read his first post, if not it is the post just before this one.

Moved and Upgraded

It appears that the moving of The Incidental Cyclist has been successful. The new domain home is http://www.incidentalcyclist.com. The old site, while still having all the files and data intact is no longer accessible and you will be redirected to this new home if you try to access it. Please note that this redirection will only be available for approximately 6-8 weeks. At that time all bookmarks need to be pointed to the new web site URL.

Over the upcoming weekend The Incidental Cyclist is changing home address and moving to the new WordPress 2.5 platform.

The Incidental Cyclist will now be located at http://www.incidentalcyclist.com, make sure you update your bookmarks and favorites links. For the month following the move if you go to the old site address you will be redirected automagically to the new site. For the more technically minded the site will use a 301 Redirect to allow Google and others to still find us at our new home.

Over the course of the next few weeks I will also be tweaking the site and playing around with various layouts until I find something that feels right. Especially now that I seem to have a little time on my hands. The move will also ensure that The Incidental Cyclist has a home for many years to come!

The Mid-Saturday ride now has a route map and elevation chart included in the post. Come see what the ride is like before you even venture outside!
