Switching to Humzoo
NOTE: This is a blog that I wrote on my new Humzoo site, but I’m posting it here to let you guys know that I’m moving. In the next day or two I will have a large note up in my header somewhere with a direct link to my Humzoo site, which you can find at: 
http://www.humzoo.com/daveheinzel/
I really thought that it would be a long time before I was ready to move daveheinzel.com over to Humzoo. I have been using that site for 8 years now, and have hundreds of blogs, several videos, thousands of photos and countless comments.
But today I am officially starting to use Humzoo as my main site. I am going to set up some large notes on daveheinzel.com that let people know I’ve moved, and at some point I am going to just set up daveheinzel.com to redirect people over here automatically.
The one major area that I am not sure how to handle yet is videos. I have around 60 videos that I have posted on daveheinzel.com, and I plan to add to those in the future as time allows. Humzoo does not have a video section yet, so I’m probably going to have to host them elsewhere and just put up links here. But this will only be more motivation to make a video tool on Humzoo, although I know what’s involved in doing that, and it is not am addition to be taken lightly.
Anyway, I made an executive decision to NOT move over all my old blogs and what not. They will stay at daveheinzel.com for now, and at some point I’ll save them to my hard drive and back them up in a couple places. But I imagine that at some point I will just take down daveheinzel.com all together or use it as a portfolio site or something. Who knows.
What I do know is that we made Humzoo to be very easy to use, and the tools to add blogs and photos are exactly what I want for daveheinzel.com. But my tools there are very outdated, and it is very time consuming and irritating to do so much as to upload a photo album. So I’m hoping that it will be easier here. But if I run into some problems or need better tools, guess what - I’ll make them. And then you can all benefit from them as well hopefully. Sweet!
Anyway, it will be a rough transition for me and I’m sure for my regular visitors. I’m sorry if this inconveniences anyone, and I’m sorry that I’m not porting over all my old content. It’s time to clean the closet, and this is a good time to start anew. 
Whoooaa... Mr. happy delete button man. I think you’d at least need to setup up some kind of archive for the time being. Maybe daveheinzel.com/oldstuffnooneisgoingtoview/ and have daveheinzel.com point to your humzoo page.
Also, what about the bike page? Maybe an additional feature for the Humzoo community? I was looking forward to logging this summer’s mileage and proclaiming yet again my attempt to do a century.

Also let me know if you want me to update the RSS for spfldbloggers.com.

Don’t worry Grant, the bike page is safe. I’m actually working a site dedicated to the bike stats all by itself. It’s basically up and running, but I need to finish up some of the graphics. I should have it ready to go this spring, and it will copy over all existing accounts and stats.
