Change-of-address notice
brinbellway.wordpress.com --> wp.brinbellway.net
It's still wordpress.com underneath, but now with the right to move to a new provider at will. brinbellway.wordpress.com URLs will redirect to their wp.brinbellway.net equivalents (and I intend to maintain that, even if I move providers), so old-style links will not break for the foreseeable future, but please use the new-style ones from now on.
Note that brinbellway.net *without* the "wp." on the front still redirects to Dreamwidth. I may be able to arrange a distinct landing page for brinbellway.net if this is too confusing.

I thought I wasn't allowed to do this on my current subscription, but either I'd misread the fine print or they've since expanded the list of benefits of the lowest premium tier: this actually cost me zero marginal dollars. If it was an expansion on Automattic's part, it was a smart move: I'd have left wordpress.com otherwise.
