New address (and name) for Endangered Languages and Cultures blog

[Aidan Wilson]

Hi RoNaLDos,

We've migrated the Transient Languages and Cultures blog out of Sydney 
University's blogging system to a self-hosted Wordpress blog located at 
Melbourne University on PARADISEC servers. The reasons for the move were mainly 
that the user authentication system meant that contributors had to have been 
either staff or students of the university. Most writers however, are neither, 
and have been using Jane Simpson's user account. We have been intending to do 
something about this for a long time but inertia took hold. Jane's recent move 
to the ANU provided the much-needed impetus to get it over and done with.

Anyway, if you could be so kind as to update you feed readers, blogrolls, links 
pages and so forth, and above all, come and check it out! Peter Austin already 
has a great post about why he began studying linguistics, 40 years ago.

If you've referenced the blog previously in print, fear not, as all posts and 
comments will be maintained for posterity by the University of Sydney (in 
perpetuity we hope), in addition to having been migrated across to the new 
blog.

The new addresses are as follows:
Main: 		http://paradisec.org.au/blog
Entries RSS: 	http://paradisec.org.au/blog/feed
Comments RSS:	http://paradisec.org.au/blog/comments/feed

In addition, each author has their own RSS feed which is available at:
http://paradisec.org.au/blog/author/NAME/feed

PS: The new name reflects the fact that 'Transient' is no longer an appropriate 
title; we used it initially because of PARADISEC's and the Sydney Linguistics 
department's residence in the Transient Building. You may recall that the URL 
for the Sydney blog contained 'elac' as opposed to 'tlac', reflecting the fact 
that 'Endangered Languages and Cultures' was in fact the original name anyway.
