Blogging for profit
OK, I admit to being an unabashed Capitalist. I got into blogging for fun, but after 2.5 years I think it's time to blog for profit. Accordingly, I'll bid the TSblog a fond farewell on June 30 and shortly thereafter begin a business-related blog on my Justice Served website.
You still have 2-3 more tech-related postings coming between now and then, I just like to let people know what to expect.
Blogging for the TS has been fun. It takes a bit more time that I expected, but it helped me get into a discipline that will come in handy when I go into prime time blogging.
I also got a chance to check out other blogs in order to see what sorts of graphics and functionality I'd like to see in my own. Bob Morse did a good job explaining the blog technical options in two separate Tech Beat articles, so I'm taking his advice to use a commercial package rather that try to build my own. However, in order to get what I really want, I'm going to have to mash-up the presentation a bit.
You may or may not know that I coordinate the Tech Beat articles for the Times-Standard's Thursday Tech business section, and will continue doing so. Frankly, I found myself recycling these blogs into TB articles when authors would flake out. I'm not sure that will be so easy once I switch into business mode.
So thanks for the training, and I'll be back for 2-3 more postings before I say adieu. It's been fun !!
