This will be one of my final posts on Pimp My Clarion.

As part of the Tech Evangelist job, I’ve moved the "redesign" of Pimp My Clarion into a separate project, new URL and all that (the URL hasn’t been set in stone yet).

My apologies to all those who have been offended by the use of ‘Pimp’ in the title. And in my language. I’m remedying the title with the new site, and I’ll do my best to clear it out of my vocabulary. Need to find another word .. ‘Bling Bling’? Heh heh.

There has been some renewed newsgroup action on my post from a few days ago, subject line: ‘[Pimp My Clarion] All Hail Clarion’. It’s good to see people sharing their thoughts and concerns. It’s far more important we talk these things through in a private or public arena with clarity, diligence and .. ‘compassion’ might be too strong a word, but something like that. Not jumping around waving a fire brand.

THANKYOU to everyone who I’ve conversed with over the last few days. Without exception I’ve gained more understanding with each conversation. Each email.

There are a lot of plans for the immediate future. I hope that the community not only benefits, but truly succeeds. Not just because of what I do, but because of what people will see _can_ be done, and that sparks them into further action.

That’s a very generic paragraph .. but I can’t be more specific at the moment. Apologies.

The time has come .. Pimp My Clarion is going under the surgeon’s knife. And this time .. it’s not just a change of WordPress template .. { cries of joy are heard across the lands }.

It’s been a while coming. I’ve been lax in posting. I’ve been lax in the generation of enthusiasm on this blog.

Here’s to the new year! Watch this street corner .. soon my Fur Coat, Cane and Bling will be replaced with Starbucks .. or something like that. Ha.

I almost forgot to add .. At this stage the new Pimp My Clarion will be written, appropriately, in Clarion, using NetTalk for the WebServer.

{ Pumps fists in the air, rocky style } Bring it ON!!!

This post was conceived and written at least a month ago. It seems that now the site has been indexed by Google. But the picture was too good to let slip into the dim recess of my memory alone.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working hard to get this site up to scratch, S(earch) E(ngine) O(ptimisation) -wise. It’s got some handy plugins, a Google Sitemap, and pings everything under the sun.

However, it seems I had something wrong even before that (this is my guess). Even searching for the entire Title Tag in Google returns no links to this place.

It’s (obviously now to me) the actual URL. More specifically, "Pimp". Bad word. Bad.

A sad predicament, especially considering I’ll probably have to come up with a different name for the site. Might have to start looking around for others who have faced this predicament.
