I hope you all had a great New Year’s. I spent mine moving my blog to a new domain name. What fun! The Aussie domain destinationeurope.com.au is no more and you can now find Destination Europe at destinationeurope.net. Not a big difference I know but I wanted to get away from the .com.au domain to a non-country specific one. Obviously I would have liked to get the .com but the $25,000 price tag was a little out of my budget.

So what does this change of address mean? If you subscribe to updates via RSS, email or Facebook then nothing changes. Otherwise I ask that you update your bookmarks and if you have been kind enough to link here in the past I would appreciate if you could update your links and blogrolls to the new URL. Merci mille fois!

Pinterest

In other news, I recently started using Pinterest and have taken a bit of a liking to it. If you don’t know, Pinterest is a site where you can ‘pin’ on ‘boards’ your favourite or inspirational things/photos from around the web. I’ve set up boards for each country in Europe and am pinning photos of places I have been or would like to visit. You can find me over there at pinterest.com/destinationeu and if you follow me I will follow you back. If you haven’t signed up yet and would like an invite, just let me know in the comments and I’ll happily send you one.

Social Buttons

The other small change I made is getting new social media buttons which you can see over in the sidebar. These minimalist buttons are much more my style and I thank Design Deck for designing and sharing them.

The change over to the new domain went fairly smoothly but if anything looks a bit off please let me know. Thanks!
