We've Moved!

this is an audio post - click to play

Hey, cool! You made it! Welcome to the new site - have a look around. I totally couldn't wait for New Year's - so congrats if you decided to click the forwarding link early :) Heh, exactly what I would have done. Anyway, lots to see - mainly in the side bar and above. Mr. Wil designed all of the new icons, the flash animation at the bottom of the page (actually, I took this down for some tweaking per his request - will be back up hopefully soon), and of course the header - so a big thanks to him!

You'll notice the new logo for the site as well up on the left side of the header - kind of a play on the MDot (for those of you not Ironman savvy) - it can go either WDot (Ironwoman) or Iron Wil - so, I'm psyched about that! There are also a few new pieces in the THROUGH TH3 WALL Online Shop, which reflects the new logo, so be sure to stop in. I'm the most geeked about the new yoga pants and shirt!

Special thanks to Okolo for getting me all set up with the new domain and tech advice! And also thanks to Chris for starting me down the favicon (the little logo in the url window - go ahead, look up for a sec- how cool is that!?) path!

ReefAll right, now down to business - here's the deal, guys: I want to get the word out that the site has moved, so I thought a contest would do a pretty groovy job of accomplishing that. Ready then? OK, all you have to do is tell people to leave a comment on this post that says you referred him/her, and you get a point - also, the people can email me if they don't want to comment for some reason. Whoever has the most points by midnight, one week from today (the podcast has an error), will get a newly-designed, free THROUGH TH3 WALL mug!

Thanks for your help, thanks for stopping in, and Happy New Year!

Lemme be the first to welcome you to the new site - it looks great! I've been following your blog for only about a month now (discovered it through trigeekdreams), and it's already one of my favorites in the tri community. Your race reports in particular were captivating reading to this current runner / future triathlete. Happy new year!

I've been reading you for a while. You're a great inspiration and the new site is great. Oh...Jon did send me here the first time when you posted a picture of the body you aspire to so...give him a point for me. I think the guy really needs a mug!

I've been following your blog for about one month after seeing one of the sweatshirts, had to buy one myself as well. Congrats on the new site. You have motivated me to give blogging a tri as well.

KICK ASS SITE WIL!!! I totally love it and it was GREAT to hear your voice...you actually sound a lot like I do which is strange because I had a very definite idea about what your voice would sound like...but then I thought about that sistahood thing we seem to have going and it made sense. Perhaps we WERE related in another life... Keep up the great blog and Happy 2006!!!

Your new site looks fantastic! I'm not exactly sure how I first surfed to your site, but I've been a daily reader for about a month now. I was wondering if there was any way I could get a Triple Threat Mug.. I went to order one today and didn't realize you'd removed it from your store. Please let me know.. sunshineal at gmail dot com Thank you!
