jkOnTheRun has a new domain URL!

By James Kendrick | Monday, March 17, 2008 | 9:30 AM CT | 10 comments |

Jklogo_customKevin and I have been busily making changes to the back-end servers here at jkOnTheRun and the main change for you to be aware of is a basic domain change.  Previously the URL for the old domain name was …blogs.com but this has now changed to jkontherun.com.  This change makes it easier for everyone to deal with and only makes sense since we’ve always owned that domain name.  Don’t fear, any links you’ve posted on the web to URLs that end in …blogs.com will still work but you need to make note that anything going forward should reflect the jkontherun.com domain.  The home page for instance is now www.jkontherun.com and sub-pages will reflect that domain too.  This will likely not affect anyone in reality but we wanted to point out the change to everyone.  Make sure your bookmarks reflect the new domain just in case the old one goes away somewhere down the road.

Thanks for reading jkOnTheRun!

  • This might screw people (OK, eejit me me me!) up. You should stop posting under the old URL and start all new stuff over there (here? looking at URL bar — see, I’m already bollixed!!!). And eventually have a redirect.

  • Mike, it should not affect you at all. There is a sophisticated redirect taking place no matter which way you come in so don’t complain. The only reason we wanted to point this out is because as you know on the web redirects don’t last forever, although this one might. Just enjoy, it won’t affect you I am certain. That’s the only reason we undertook this.

  • But you *still* have to deal with the CAPTCHA Mike. ;) Seriously, this shouldn’t have any impact. All content (old and new) is accessible with *either* the jkontherun.blogs.com permalinks or the new jkontherun.com naming. Having the “blogs” in our URL has caused some people not to be able to reach the site as many companies are banning any browsing to URLs with the word “blog” in it.

  • I just wish Typepad’s Captcha wasn’t so slow.

  • BUT YOU KNOW GUYS would you believe, I am using JKONTERUN.COM for about 2 or 3 weeks now. And it works before. I wonder when you did the changes.. Yes I run it by mistake jkontherun.com and it works…- since 2 or 3 weeks back..

  • Chris, we used a different and less robust solution up to now. Going to jkontherun.com prior to this change got you here, but the address bar would have shown the blogs.com address. That was just a simple redirect / fowarding. However you find us, we’re glad you’re here. :)

  • It seems to take a little longer to loaded. (Or it could just be me taking longer to get loaded)
