In a few days, ColtsAuthority.com will launch.

Here's what 18to88.com readers need to know:

1. The URL 18to88.com will redirect to ColtsAuthority.com. In other words, you don't need to do anything to find me. Just come to 18to88.com.

2. All existing articles on 18to88.com will still exist. We are still working out the technical details, but nothing from here will 'vanish'.

3. For the time being, I will keep my 18to88 Twitter handle. I'll still be taking and answering email at 18to88@gmail.com.

4. We hope to launch January 1st, but we want to make sure the site is 100% ready to go. Because this site will redirect, just keep coming here. You'll know it when you see it.

5. I will be writing a regular Monday and Friday column. I will also weigh in whenever anything significant happens. I'm not going anywhere. Most of you are aware that my primary focus has been Mondays and Fridays all season. Eyes in the Backfield WILL be back in 2012 in some form (hopefully 18 points long!).

6. Colts Authority will be a much more 'full service' site than 18to88.com was. Our goal is to be a one-stop shop for news, analysis, film work, fan posts, community...everything.

7. In a few weeks, work will begin on the Marvin Harrison Project. I have a good team assembled, and in the coming days we'll be tackling the important job of making sure everyone understands exactly how great Harrison was. So, if you miss my daily posting, just remember that we all have to sacrifice something for Marv's sake. I can't write another book if I'm too buried blogging every day.

8. This doesn't really fit here, but I will be in Winona Lake, IN (Warsaw) next Saturday the 7th at the Grace College basketball game. I'll be signing Invincible, Indiana and Blue Blood. Books will be on sale if you don't have one already.

It's bitter-sweet coming to the end of this blog, and I thank all of you for your passion and encouragement. This is a major step forward for Colts fans and should lead to much better coverage of the team. So for now, keep typing in 18to88.com and you won't miss a thing!
