We’re moving (again!)
Dear readers, linkers and Googlers,
Hosting Polandian where you are currently reading, namely its own (shared) server, costs money and requires maintenance. It is fair to say that we have not taken advantage of the benefits of being independent from WordPress.com and this, combined with a much reduced flow of new content, means that it is increasingly hard to justify the cost and effort required to stay here. We have therefore decided not to renew the subscriptions for hosting services, domains and so forth which run out at various dates between mid February and early March. As a result this site will soon be tossed in the cyber-waste-bin and any attempt to reach polandian.com, polandian.pl will be met with a “404 get lost!” error message.
The good news is that we have lovingly cared for the old polandian.wordpress.com site in the background and have recently added all the posts from this site (since April 2009) to bring it up to date. You are therefore invited to use that site for links or for reading our comprehensive archive of material as well as new posts that might be added along the way.

Many thanks for your support – past, present & future!
Good luck in your new, old home. Glad to hear that references to old posts will remain.
Thanks, Kolin. See you there.
Great news! It’ll be much easier to follow you, and you’ll get extra readers from wp.com community, which means more Polandian fans.
Oh goody, more fans! ;)
Tu jest spokój. Nic się nie dzieje.
Anyway, if anyone would like to try an English language site about Poland that does not patronise Poles, then you could try:
http://szczecinian.eu/
If you like adverts and Szczecin of course.
There’s a lot more than adverts there. We would really appreciate some fresh contributors/contributions.
Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to host Polandian? maybe a pass the upturned hat post could provide the funding?
Neil,
I don’t know exactly but probably no more than 500 PLN a year when you add up the server hosting package and the domains. It’s not the cost that’s the issue it’s mainly that we’re not making any use of it and it does make life more complicated. As Sylwia said, it is actually more functional when part of WordPress.com as opposed to stand alone.
Hope you’ll keep up with us at polandian.wordpress.com
