One Month in... and things change...

One month in...

Well, it's been a month on the new site now.

I guess at first I thought everyone would just start following the new feed and the traffic would magically appear at WDN, but I still saw a lot of folks hitting GWB, presumably looking for good Silverlight links.

So I announced my postings at GWB to not leave anyone out of the loop.

And now I find that's annoyed some people... sorry about that!

I can't see cross-posting the posts completely, so you'll just have to go to the new site to see them I guess.

SilverlightCream.com is still up and still growing with every post. The aggregation there can be searched as always and if you have a driving desire to submit there vs submitting to WindowsDevNews, I'm still getting those emails.

When I blog, I am posting links to @SilverlightNews in addition to @WindowsDevNews, at least for now.

I am also still blogging all the links I was blogging before, the difference is now I'm also blogging other stuff as well.

The only real thing *YOU* need to change is the Feed location.

I'm not giving up this blog, I will announce new things as I go, and the history is here to be viewed.

As everyone is aware, some things have changed, and that causes other changes.

Stay in the 'Light!

This story is pretty confusing and annoying... I LOVE SilverlightCream, but don't understand why this is happening. First of all, the new site looks just like SilverlightNews.com, which I don't really get. Secondly, it really seems you've started to push this new site way too much and I think it's a valid fear in the community that you're dumping SilverlightCream just like that.

Why not design a more distinct site and stop the cross-posting and cross-promotion. I'm interested in Silverlight, not developing for Windows (which I'm assuming the new site is about)

I tried to respond to your listed email address, but it bounced. If you want a thoughtful response, I'm going to need a real address.

SilverlightCream isn't going anywhere, WindowsDevNews is the aggregate of SilverlightCream plus whatever is next on our radar
