Meet the new blog, same as the old blog.

http://blog.pressdemocrat.com/49ers/

That is the new address for Matt Maiocco's blog devoted entirely to the San Francisco 49ers. Check it out, and be sure to replace your book marks and RSS feeds.

See you over there.

Thanks,

Matt M.

Instant 49ers will be undergoing a face lift (with a new URL and everything) in the next few days. This should make things much simpler. I won't have to approve every comment. It is my understanding that those wishing to leave comments must register, and those who leave inappropriate comments (or the same monotonous messages regardless of the blog post) will find their access restricted by the host.
