about Iamhaiku.com
This blog, haikudjean.com is currently where the domain iamhaiku.com lands. I’ve been trying with no luck to get iamhaiku.com to point to, and then become the primary domain for iamhaikud.com but so far with no luck.
The iamhaikud site is simply a back-up duplicate of haikudjean so the things to read at one site are the same as the other but if I can ever figure out how to point iamhaiku.com to iamhaikud.com it would make a lot more sense, at least in my mind.
