What's in our name?

Identifier, first impression, signage, brand, arbitrary label...just remember, not what they call you but what you answer to

In case you haven't noticed the change of URL (and why should you, what with running silent for so long), an explanation might be in order. The name is the same, so is the basic url, but the domain name redirect url is gone. That url matched the blog name. I bought domain name to be diplomatic knowing a metaphoric kick in the shins is all it would get me. When time came to renew I didn't because money is too tight to spend on empty diplomacy.

What difference will it make? Depends. None, I hope. Any reader, whether angry, upset, confused or just curious, are welcome to come over here and comment or ask questions.

What's in a name? In a URL?

…Just a quick note announcing our new blog url—short for Uniform Resource Locator—or just plain address, http://www.precariousfacultyblog.com, now matches its name (with 'blog' tacked onto the end just so no one confuses it with Precarious Faculty on Facebook or @precariousfac). Everything is still hosted on Blogger and in the same place, complete with archives and working links. The original address will still bring you here, morphing into the new one before you arrive.

Whether exercising prescience unawares or expressing an unconscious sense of unease, August 13 of last year, I blogged, What does a theory of change look like?
