Just a few weeks ago, we were celebrating our 19th birthday, and our 5,000th post.

Then came the news that our long-time hosting service, Typepad, was shutting down on September 30, 2025, and that if we did not migrate the blog to a new host, it was going dark … permanently.

The Typepad service did its best to make it difficult, which might be an explanation for why we noticed the daily visits to the blog went from way-more-than-zero to … flatlined.

Time to move.

So we did.

We have now found a new home: an old friend to legal blogs, LexBlog.

This is a behind-the-scenes fix, so from your side, you shouldn’t see any big changes. You can still find us on the web right here at inversecondemnation.com. For readers who follow along by email, you should continue to see posts showing up in your inbox via Feedblitz or now, LexBlog. Anyone still use RSS? If so, same.

We have also decided that with the move, it is also time to do a little updating of our look. The Geocities vibe may work for the Seventh Circuit, but we strive to be a bit less retro and a bit more useful. Which means you may see some design and layout changes, as we try different things.

But the content will remain the same: takings, eminent domain, and property rights goodness. As we always say, stay tuned.

Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye!
