Moving in
by | June 28, 2007 | 40 Comments

I’ve moved!

Please update bookmarks and feeds and all that good stuff. The javabeans.wordpress.com site will stay up indefinitely, but I’ll be updating here instead.

I’d been thinking of upgrading to my own host for a while now, but I’m lazy. I should’ve done it earlier — it’s a pain moving once you’re settled in. I love WordPress.com, but I’m amazed at how quickly I outgrew their services and found myself itching to play around a little more. And finally, thanks to the lovely mily2, I moved off my butt AND got the idea for the new domain name.

Why Dramabeans? Partly because I wasn’t going to spend $5,000 to buy Javabeans.com. Also because someone once misheard “javabeans” as “dramabeans,” and I thought, how appropriate.

It’s basically the same as before, but few nifty features here include:

  • Much, much more web space! Now I can post files without feeling guilty for encroaching on my file limit.
  • You guys can now edit your own comments! You can only edit them within 10 minutes after the initial post, but that should be enough to fix any errors, etc. If it’s not, you can always post another comment. :D (If you’d like a bigger window of time, let me know and I should be able to tweak it.)
  • Spoiler tags! I’m not sure if I’ll be using them yet, but it’s a nifty feature.
  • Ads. Yep, I’ve sold out. I’d been resistant to the idea, but I figure if I spent all this time on this blog, a few pennies never hurt. If I end up hating them, I’ll remove them.
  • And lots of other little details that only matter on my end.

I’m betting there are tons of little bugs in some of the older posts, which I’ll be fixing slowly. Thanks for moving along with me!

    congrats on your new place & new name –> dramabeans, very cute!

  9. javabeans

    thundie, i tried editing (my own post) and i got an error message, BUT it let the edit go through! i figure i’d rather have the feature AND the glitch for now, so i’ll leave it until i can figure out how to get rid of the error message. hopefully editing still works on future commenting…

    Marzy, i think the new feed should work now. As I suspected, I still have to work out a lot of little bugs… but i was too impatient to do them all perfectly first. hehe.

  13. 13 wandergirl

    congratulations on the move!
    i love the name :)

  14. 14 Samantha

    Congrats on moving, and yes i do think that the new name is more appropriate since you are blogging your k DRAMA obsession. :D … it’s also funny how as your ads you see where to buy good cocoa beans and such, i guess thats the confusion with your name.

  15. 15 ripgal

    Sarahbeans! Congrats on your move!
    And I totally dig your new blog name…dramabeans HAHAHAH…

  16. 16 Samantha

    i also have a question can we still listen to music directly the same page as the drama post that they’re on?

    Congratulations to having your own domain name!
    Yelp, there’s nothing wrong making about some side money; you absolutely deserve it for all your efforts and personal time.
    Here’s wishing that this site will grow into the one of the top kdrama review site for english speakers on the internet.
    Cheers.

  18. 18 ginnie

    Congratulations!
    Toast to a wonderful new experience!

    The edit function is cool! tee-hee….
    Since moi hate re-reading what I wrote…so please forgive my grammar/spelling errors..

  19. 19 LW

    WOW! Congratulations on the move. ^^ Have updated my bookmarks. I don’t mind the ads. Eh, how do you use the spoiler tag ?? O_O

  20. 20 lollipop2000

    Congratulations on your move. the new domain name is so appropriate because you can be such a drama mama when the occasion arises for certain caps which I so love the style. Its like watching the actual episode and feeling the emotions. I hve recommended other friends to visit your site for their daily k drama caps fix.

  21. 21 Anne

    Congrats! And be sure to play with the thousand templates that are available :)

    [edit] i accidentally placed your site url under my name, oops! and this editing feature is rad!

  22. 22 its_trish

    oooohhh CONGRATULATIONS!
    Finally, your own site ^^ *it’s already bookmarked*
    I also agree that you deserve being able to have ads – so many people read and appreciate your summaries and commentaries – why not put it to some benefit~
    Thanks again for your incredible devotion and willingness to translate and share!
    K drama addicts forever! *cheesy I know but..

    *I just had to test out this feature..

    Congrats on the move Javabeans! Very cute new domain name! Looking forward to continue following your KDrama blogs here! Good luck with settling in! ^_^

    Hey Javabeans…(I am so used to this name….)
    I am glad that you have your own dot come now…but at the same time, the silly me can’t help but worry that you’ll change into a commercialized site. I like the sorta personal space you have in your blog that is made purely because you love watching k-dramas. I think none of that has changed and it does not look like it’ll change but I just can’t help but worry. I really like your blog and of course your honesty in all of your reviews. Hope you’ll continue the “Javabeans” style.

    p.s. Can you tell I am a worry-freak?

  39. 39 secret admirer

    Dramabeans,
    So happy that you are moving to a better home. I am all for the commercialization of your blog (as long as you continue to do what you are doing for us non-Korean viewers). You’re absolutely right. For all the time and effort that you’ve put into this blog, you deserve to get something back. It was always mind-boggling for me to see how much work you’ve put into this site to enable us to appreciate these K-dramas. Hope that your site and works will always be as witty, frank, cool and entertaining as they’ve always been. I don’t think that you’ve realized how much influence your blogs have over all these artists that have been featured here. Your web-celebrity status is just going to get bigger from here on. Can you believe that my first time here on your blog was hit # 68,450 (and that was the beginning of this year!)? Blog on, Sarah! You’re awesome.
