I didn’t realize that you had went independent too. That’s great! I went independent (I call it “going indie” or “living The Life”) last December. I’ll be writing a “One Year Later” post soon. Oh yea, I’m also a Hokie Alum.

I also started up a Northern VA Small Business group to discuss issues related to folks like us – http://groups.google.com/group/novasb – Maybe I’ll organize a meet-up after the holidays.

BTW, when I switched my blog over from TypePad to my own host, I put in a permanent redirect via an .htaccess file. Something like:

Redirect /blog/atom.xml http://www.luisdelarosa.com/feed/

That might help your readers switch over.
