We've Changed Our URL!

Source.

So on Saturday I thought it'd be a great idea to change the URL of my blog.  I'd originally started The Thrifty Gypsy's Travels under a "justathriftygypsy" URL, but after seven months I found that it just didn't fit.  It was too much of a mouthful, and it didn't match the name of the blog.  Why hadn't I put it under "ThriftyGypsyTravels" in the first place?!

Well, rather impulsively, I decided to synchronize everything with a URL change.  And then over the next three days, I saw my web traffic plummet.

Duh.

I never claimed to be a genius!  Even though my social media accounts are all the same (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest), I think I underestimated the followers I'd gained through Blogger, Disqus, Wordpress, and Bloglovin'.  So I reactivated this particular (old) url to let you guys know...

Please Follow Us at www.ThriftyGypsyTravels.blogspot.com!!!

All my posts (past, present, and future) are there.  And I promise that I will not be making URL changes again in the future -- unless it's to claim my own independent URL, in which case I'll be famous and rich enough by then to hire a professional to set up an automatic redirecting.  ;)

Thanks for your understanding!

We Have Moved!

Please check us out at www.ThriftyGypsyTravels.blogspot.com for all the latest travel tips, recaps, and photos!  An explanation as to the url change can be seen on my post here.

Our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram) have all remained the same. Our Bloglovin' account can be accessed here.

Thanks!
