Welcome!
This is my new home.
I had a long run on blogger but needed to move.
Why?
My needs outgrew blogger.
I wanted a multi-page layout with a different home page than the article pages. Most of the top financial sites are organized that way. Multiple layouts within a single blog are impossible with Blogger.
WordPress also offers additional features that Blogger doesn’t have.
- Ability to write a post and release it at a scheduled time
- Better development tools
- Email notifications
- A point of contact
Every article on my previous blog globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com has moved over intact except for comments.
I am using the native WordPress comment system now. Disqus and Echo are gone.
I will start with the same page counts as I left off with on blogger. The rest of my history unfortunately cannot be migrated
Daniel Robert and Michelle Langston at WordPress did a fantastic job with the move, converting all internal self-references to MishTalk from blogger.

Nice look, glad to see you on WordPress.
Mish, recommend, if you have not already, have someone programmatically add a link (and text saying you’ve moved) to each of your posts on Blogspot to this new location.
Google may not rank your WordPress site version of your old articles as high (they might not even be on the first few pages) as the ones on Blogspot (which may be on the first page) for anyone who does a topical search.
Thanks Big Maq
It was a mess resolving all those internal links.
But we did it – so it should be possible
Mish
First!
NOOooooo….

Do you have an RSS feed?
Hello to the new site
Hey Mish! Please add an RSS feed to your new site. I’ve been reading your blog for a couple years now via RSS, I hope I can keep doing it with the new platform. Thanks!
Congrats on the new site!!
Changed over without a problem and I see I can post without logging in.
I don’t twitter or facebook, so is WordPress the only other way to log in?
Looks like an upgrade, in any case. Good luck, Mish
please add me to email list
thanks, you do a great job and you have made some great calls!
Congratulations! Even though the WP software is a horrible mess, it has a huge amount of features, very active community and runs over 25% of all websites, so you know that it will be well supported for a long time.
I hope you are planning to add the links to other blogs to your sidebar.
A very appropriate song to go along with the move!
I second the request for RSS. I read all of my news this way.
Well behaved website. Clean layout. Better content than the Wall Street Journal.
Long time follower Mish. Much enjoy your insights.
Good luck with this new site. Cheers. (first time commenting)

Hope you don’t get too uppity with the move ……good luck
I like the new format. Very clean and clear 🙂
Nice clean look, good move,i think it will be more user friendly – if that term isn’t passe
Very clean look. Hope I remember to come here…. and need to update my link to you.
I’d like to say it’s a great new look!
And I also would love to see RSS.
Now all you need to do is get the search engine rankings updated.

The new site looks great! Noticed that search is not working. For example, searching for ‘Goldmoney’ returns ‘No Results’.
Searching for ‘Goldmoney’ on the old site: About 9,060 results (0.27 seconds)
Site not yet indexed to Google search engines
Request made
Seems like you have not redirected your old website to new one. You will lose all your traffic,man. You can’t move sites like this. If Google does not recognize move (by 301 redirect) it will treat your new website like completely new and you will lose years of hard work and gained SEO reputation.
Thanks Riki
We did do a 301 redirect
It may take Google a while
Mish
If you redirected your old website with 301 redirects you don’t have to send any requests to Google, because Google algo realize that and transfer will be smooth. If you didn’t, you may lose all your rankings.
Thanks Riki
We did do a 301 redirect
But blog not indexed yet
Search does not yet work
Mish
@Mish, will you post an analysis of traffic rates post switch? Just curious how the domain change and new site impacts your viewership… I’ve read horror stories about losing traffic in this kind of transition.
I expect to lose traffic initially
Mish
Happy Groundhog Day.
I think you will ultimately like the move. More robust and secure.
Good Luck to you and thanks for doing what you do!
Mish,
Very nice layout, clean, easy on the eyes, and I suspect easier to search for past posts as well as general navigation. Good job, kudos to your advisors. I hope it works out well.
One of the things I liked about the old site was the newest post showed in full on the front page. Please don’t make me click “Continue Reading” to see the whole of the front-page story.
Please.
Pretty please? With cherries on top?
I left a comment but it didn’t post. So I’ll give it another try.
It’s good to have your comment section back, I’m sure all the oldies will return.
Best wishes to you.
Enjoy your insight
Will we see some links to other websites for references?
Scratch that question please:)
I have a dropdown list of links
At the bottom there is a feed portion
I usually view your posts through an aggregator called “Netvibes.” Will I be able to continue to do so with your new host?
They would have to pick up my new site
Woohoo, new site!!!!!
Congrats!
Awesome Mish. Congrats and thans for all you do.
Awesome! I’ve been reading your old blog for a few years now, but I could never get the comments page to work (either to read or to reply). WordPress FTW.
Great news. I’ve been reading your old blog for a couple of years now and I could never get the comments to work (either to read or to respond). WordPress FTW.
Haven’t stopped by for a few days and just now saw that you’ve moved. Hope it works better for you. A few mostly not very positive observations: the mobile version is -predictably- about as visually engaging as a bowl of oatmeal in milk. Blogger was the same in this respect. Switching to the “full” version -from a handheld device- now results in scrambled formatting, graphics on top of text, text on top of text, etc. Blogger on the other hand didn’t do that. Here’s hoping this sort of glitch gets ironed out over the next few days. On the other hand, the comments appear to work well; an item that has been problematic for years across several different computing platforms used around here.
Hi Mish, could you possibly open up your RSS feed to full articles? Right now it just gives the snippet. While I understand this makes it harder to see who’s reading what, it’s a huge convenience for those of us using feed readers (feedly etc). The old site showed full articles in the RSS feed.
Much thanks,
Steve
Steve – I don’t know
I depend on ad revenue I get none on an RSS feed
The Financial Times, NY Time etc send out partial feeds.
Perhaps they have a way of getting full feeds, but even if so, they are on a subscription program, at least partially.
I am not.
