I don’t mean, “I love Chinese food; I should totally move to China.” I mean, “In 7 hours I’ll be on a plane headed to Hong Kong.” For reals, I’m moving to effin China. If you want the whole background story and detailed scoop, check out the post I wrote on my giving-shit-away blog.

But I don’t want to get into that again. Read the post if you want details. What I want to address here is…

What’s going to happen to Food Goes In Mouth?

I’ve been way too damn absent from food blogging over the past few months, in large part so that I could focus on making the move. Now that I don’t have a steady 9-5 I can come back to this thing I love, cooking. That I will have to do it in a new country with a whole new setup in a wildly new phase of my life will keep me from flooding the web with recipes in the near future. But I’ll return in force soon enough.

On top of just returning, I want to expand the scope of what I do here. Holy crap if there aren’t plenty of great sites out there full of inspiring recipes. I’d like to start aiming the occasional post not at you, the reading eater, but at you (possibly), the food blogger.

After attending the first BlogHer Food conference I couldn’t help but walk away with one overwhelming thought: The conference could really use a Technical track. Our community could really use some technical voice. I think I can help. From some real low-level beginner shit you can plug and play to some gritty in-the-mud hacking, I’d like to explore the occasional bit of code, plugin, blogging feature, all that nerdy stuff.

So when this all gets swinging again there will be the inevitable redesign. This boring old crap I threw together in ’08 has to go. Maybe this would make a good series of posts for you, the food blogger? The anatomy of a blog redesign? What do you think?
