It’s been a few months since I moved this blog to jerryhuang.com. In those few months, I noticed that I was not ranking in Google for as many new long tail search phrases as I used to. This has forced me to move back to brilliances.com which I’ve had registered since early 2002. Google absolutely loves this domain… probably because it is a high value dictionary word and that it’s been active for 6 years. It is almost effortless for me to rank for terms like “tag sunglasses” and “guess mega millions today”.

If you subscribe using http://feeds.feedburner.com/MegaMillions, you will not need to change anything you will need to change it to http://feeds.feedburner.com/brilliances. If you used jerryhuang.com/feed, please update it to the feedburner feed. JerryHuang.com will continue pointing back Brilliances.com for another few weeks to allow me to work out which permalinks to selectively redirect.

As you can also see, this blog is getting a makeover. The mandigo theme has gotten too popular and I’ve been seeing it EVERYWHERE. I’ve finally decided to get off my ass and differentiate myself with my very own custom theme. It’s not ready yet but I’m starting off with the famed copyblogger theme and I’ll slowly personalised it as I get time. Chris Pearson’s themes are a gem - He’s also made the cutlines theme which I’ve also used before. Cutlines, however, was bought over and is now managed by someone else so I’m hesistant to use that as my base. Having used my fair share of themes now, I’ve found Chris Peason’s to be consistently clean coded. Some other themes may look more snazzy but they work like a dog in the backend.
