The simple version
Just a quick check-in to advise that if any of you have the address https://yacoob.link/ bookmarked for this site, that will no longer work as of 7th February 2026.
Instead, please change your bookmark address to https://dreamlife.wordpress.com.
The complex version
I’m letting yacoob.link expire, as I’ve moved to an address I prefer: https://dreamlife.page
HOWEVER:
That address needs to be renewed annually, and I don’t know if I will do that. So, the best thing to do is to simply keep the bookmark as https://dreamlife.wordpress.com, as this will lead you to this site no matter what.
Almost back…
Now that the boring stuff is out of the way, keep an eye out for a new series which I hope to begin posting here very soon. It’ll cover my recent trip, complete with pictures and insights, so I hope you stick around for that.
A belated happy new year, folks!
slip-sliding away..... 
Hey Yacoob, enjoy the new site address! Just curious as to what prompted it and whether it’s simple enough to do.
Hi Vance. For my Ramadaan book back in 2023, I decided to move to a custom domain as it would be easier for marketing. I would’ve loved to stick with “dreamlife” in that domain, but all the addresses with that were super expensive. So I just went with one that had my name in it, even though I didn’t really feel comfortable with it. Each year, I review whether to renew the paid plan on WordPress, and saw an opportunity to go back to the “dreamlife” reference at a fairly low cost, so I jumped on it. (Why “dreamlife”? That’s explained here: https://dreamlife.page/about)
It was pretty easy to change, and the WordPress AI chatbot was super helpful in answering my questions. (Easily the most intuitive, useful AI bot I’ve used.)
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year, Yacoob! Look forward to your new series! Kitty
