Post a commentSite looks good. Why the migration holmes?
Hey Matt, upon closer inspection it looks like I used the same template as your “Upstream in Oregon” blog. Not intentional.
Basically, here’s the really long answer: Last year I switched from blogger to this upstart provider called Eponym, and originally they were great, but then they seemed to pack up ship and disappear overnight. I could never get anyone from tech support ever, and they stopped their upgrade packages months ago I think. Basically I was blogging there without a net until I ran into bandwidth problems earlier in the week and decided to make the switch.
Hey Pete, thanks for adding my blog to your site. You have a nice page here, and I’ll post a link to it on my blog. cheers!

Thanks JP. Stumbled on yours while reading carp on the fly. I’ve never caught carp on fly before but this year I’m going to make a concerted effort.
Pete – much improved over the previous layout, IMHO. I’m sure you’ll be happy with the new software/service too – WordPress is a pleasure working with.
Best.

Love the site man..I am adding you on my blog
Thanks Mike. Reciprocated.
Found through some other sites blogroll and just checked you out. i like your site and its layout. I will add you to my blogroll. You mentioned “In my real life I’m a dead tree journalist who writes about boats and related subjects.” Do you write for a publication. I am aspiring to write fishing articles and am always looking for other peoples stuff.
Cheers

Say Hey,
– Pete, the clean and simple look is great. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks. Always striving for clean and simple.
As always, the blog is great. Especially like the page turn effect on the iPad. Was noticing that the pictures were not showing up on some of the older entries. Just my computer or …?
I migrated from a different host over the summer and some of the photos got lost in translation.
Hi Pete. Glad you liked the Crazy Menhaden. It’s a real crowd pleaser, and the stripers like it too. Thanks for stopping by.
Sure Steve, glad to discover your blog.
