\"Ebooks<\/a><\/p>\n

For some time now we\u2019ve been intending to move Ebooks Direct<\/a> off the subdomain at dianeduane.com<\/a> where it presently resides. Over the last couple\/few years things have been changing in the search-engine optimization world, and the way SEO is working now makes hosting a store on a subdomain, rather than on its own dedicated full domain, a less effective way to do business than it once was.<\/p>\n

So some time around the middle of next week we\u2019ll be moving EBD away from\u00a0 dianeduane.com and over to its own domain at ebooksdirect.co. (I would have preferred the .com TLD, but someone is squatting on it and I have no intention of wasting the eyerolls I\u2019d inevitably spend on being invited to pay umpty-ump bucks for the privilege of buying the domain from them.)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing the store\u2019s patrons need to do about this (except change their browser bookmarks if they feel inclined). Fortunately the tech end of the change is fairly simple: a change or two at the Shopify end and the installation of a redirect instruction at dianeduane.com that\u2019ll send anyone who types an old page address to its equivalent new one.<\/p>\n

For those of you who\u2019ve been in contact with the store\u2019s help email address: there\u2019ll be a new address to deal with, yeah, but all your emails from the old help account will be forwarded to the new one before the domain change kicks in. The old help address will continue operating as previously for a couple\/few weeks before it starts automatically forwarding all incoming mail to the new help address.<\/p>\n

So otherwise everything will be business as usual. I just thought I\u2019d give everybody a heads up about this before the fact.<\/p>\n

Thanks, all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
