No, I'm not killing it. In fact, I plan on doing the exact opposite and *gasp* post more often! Shocking, I know. Take a moment to collect your wits.

Done? Good. While I plan on being more active, that in itself doesn't warrant a post. What does, however, are some changes I have in mind. First up, I'm altering the subject of this blog a bit, refocusing it towards military history and war. The reason is simply because I'm more interested in those subjects. I also have plans for a project that will involve history and I want to use this blog to catch the overflow. Second, I'm going to change the name of this blog to something else. History Nerd was always a placeholder until I could come up with a better name. As a result of my planned shift in focus, I want to give it a more appropriate name. I haven't thought of one yet, but when I do, I'll let you know.
I won't merely change the name and URL though, since that would be too disruptive. Instead, I'll create a new blog, transfer everything over to it, then delete everything on here and leave a notice pointing to the new one for two weeks before deleting it.
So, any suggestions on what the new name should be?
As a Napoleonic history nut, how about something based on what the great man himself said; something along the lines of 'History is a myth agreed upon'?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the new direction!
I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe not a Napoleon quote, but from a famous military leader.
ReplyDeleteYes, a historical quote, it could be the first post of the new blog, why you picked it and how you discovered the quote.
ReplyDeleteHow about "A Matter of Expedients"? It's from a variant of a famous quote by Helmuth von Moltke the Elder.
