I decided to rebrand my websites. Digital Heath has always been sort of a knock-off, and mostly focused on my blog content, which left little room for the distinction between my blog and my books.

So, I’ve decided to split things up a bit.

heathbuckmaster.com will be the official site for me. I’m going to consider it the official home page for author Heath L. Buckmaster, with links to my books, an “about the author” area, and media (photos/videos), but in general everything related to my writing career (which is still in fledgling status).

digitalheath.com will be the official site for my blog. I don’t see any reason to change where the blog resides, and really the only thing I might do in the future is alter the domain name so it matches up with the blog name, Homo sarcasmus. You can already get to my blog via www.homosarcasmus.com, but it redirects to digitalheath.com/. It’s just semantics at this point, but I’m in a rebranding mood so we’ll see.

You shouldn’t notice any differences really, except that the sites are hosted in two different places. The blog stays the same, and remains full of ridiculous content that you’ve come to enjoy. The main site still needs to be built out more, and at this point just features links to a rudimentary About Heath page, and a more prominent link to Transaltar Publishing, the company that handles my books that you need to buy.

Hopefully this allows people to separate things out a bit, and if they read a book and want to learn more, they will hit heathbuckmaster.com, and if they choose to read the blog, they can do that as well. I’m all about being flexible for the audience…well, not THAT flexible.

Cheers!

If you haven’t heard of Lively, check it out. It’s a new offering from Google.

Once you’ve installed it (takes about 45 seconds), you can join me in the Pidgeon Crest Lounge for a chat!

Once you’ve got it, the embed below will show up.

A coworker just pointed me to Wordle, a very cool site that creates an artistic frequency cloud for any text you enter, or even a blog feed.

Here’s what it pulled from the Homo sarcasmus feed…pretty cool. Apparently I talked about Pothos quite a bit lately :-).

I realize that many of you come to me directly for the blog, so you may not have noticed that I’ve been revamping the home page.

Here’s a visual, and if you click the picture it will open up the home page in a new window for you to view.

I’d love to hear your comments / thoughts / ideas / suggestions. I really didn’t spent a HUGE amount of time on it, because after all, it’s just a home page - which to me is more a jumping off point for my blog, gallery, etc. Anyway - give it a view and let me know what you think.
