Change of Name & Moving!

Thursday, September 15, 2011 | Labels: |

Dear Readers,

I have finally decided to change the name of this blog from "Tastes of Home" to its' new and cuter (?) name,  SMOKY WOK as you can probably gather from the changed title above. I have always wanted to switch to my own custom domain as after a while, always typing 'blogspot' seemed a bit tiresome, but somehow the name stuck and I really came up with "Tastes of Home" a few years ago as I was just so homesick!

Now that I have moved back home to Malaysia (just in case you didn't know), it's almost like starting afresh again so as my blog is a creative extension of myself, I wanted it to have a brand new name as well.  I came up with this new name, bouncing ideas off my family members and I thought since I almost always tell you, dear reader to 'heat wok until almost smoking' in almost every Chinese recipe I feature, I thought it would be a fun name, I do hope you agree.

If you are my fellow blogger friends and have so kindly provided link love to "Tastes of Home", I will really appreciate it if you could take some time to change the name of my blog but do note that the links will still work (phew!). 

Meanwhile, if you type in the old url, you should be automatically directed to the new domain (http://www.smokywok.com/), just to add, you will be doing me a huge favour as well if you care to update your bookmarks with the new domain. :)

Thanks & Happy Cooking!

Why isn't it spelled smokey? Why "smoky"?

Hi Shinta, smokey and smoky are both not wrong, probably it's more smokey in the US...but also for the custom domain purposes..

Hi Shinta, both spellings are not wrong - but also for the custom domain purpose..

Jen, congrats with the change. Love the name blog name 'smoky wok', it makes me think of all the steaming hot wok fried dishes my mom always makes at home.

thanks for your support! haha I'll try my best but I just bought a domain via blogger so I think it's relatively easier compared to other types of moving :D

I really like the name Jen!  We changed our stove from electric to gas just so that we can get smoky wok and can control oil temperature for tempura.  I'm serious about the heat too! ;-)  Congratulations on your own domain!!  Fixed my blogroll as well.
