Ever since I bought a .me back in July 2008 when registration was opened, I’ve wanted sort out the multiple domains I had, as I had no clear plan of what I should do with them.

I started out using planetquack.co.uk in 1999, the first domain I ever bought, but then registered zquack.net in 2001. I didn’t really do anything with zquack.net for years. I bought planetquack.net in 2004, and pretty much replaced the .co.uk with it.

After starting a blog in 2003, I used a few different subdomains off planetquack.net before deciding to move it to doesitecho.com in 2005, where it stayed until last week.

I still couldn’t quite decide what I should do with planetquack.net or zquack.net and they stayed separate sites for many years, until last year when I merged them into zquack.net. Even though I’d done that, I still wasn’t completely happy.

Fast forward to 2009, and I finally made a choice that I am happy with. When they opened the .me registrations, I snapped up QUACK.ME. Last week I decided to use this as my main domain for my website, instead of using multiple different domain names.

So now planetquack.net, planetquack.co.uk, zquack.net and doesitecho.com all forward to quack.me.

Since I started using quack.me, I’ve spent many hours re-coding my templates, trying to get everything just right. I set up a lifestream powered by the Action Streams plugin. I did have a lifestream set up on zquack.net but that was in WordPress using data from Profilactic. Now it’s Movable Type based, just like my blog.

I shifted a few things around in the sidebar, and removed the Plurk and Twitter widgets as they now appear on the lifestream page; I decided to leave the last.fm ones as I like them. I added thumbnails to my Flickr posts. I moved the search box from the sidebar to the header under the big RSS icon.

I’ll probably keep finding new things to fiddle around with on my site, as I always do.
