The blog's moving
This blog is moving and acquiring a new format.
The change is part of some broader developments for 91Èȱ¬ blogging, which were indicated last month by Steve Herrmann, editor of the 91Èȱ¬ News website.
Blogs like mine are being brought within the same software platform used for the news website generally. Among other benefits, it will make it easier to publish a range of material together in one place, and it should also result in a better experience for those reading on mobile devices.
So as from today you can find my reporting and analysis at a new home here.
Various practical consequences will follow:
If you have been using an RSS feed for Open Secrets, you will need to change that to the new page. The new RSS feed may not be available immediately, but I hope it will be within the next few days.
If you link to the main page for Open Secrets from your website, you will need to change that to the new address (although individual entries from the old blog will remain available at their old URLs).
Finally, the title "Open Secrets" will disappear, sadly fading away into the mists of ancient cyberspace. But I hope you will follow me to the new location.

Guy - I'm told by my technical colleagues that experience shows some RSS readers don't pick up redirect instructions, and so we ask readers to update their feeds themselves.
Corum populo - Thanks for asking, and if this gets published you'll know I'm allowed to say. While naturally I have a tinge of regret at the demise of Open Secrets and its recognisable brand name, I feel full of enthusiasm about the many opportunities presented by the new format, which I hope you will see the benefit of in the coming months. Forever change.
