Some Changes Here
I’ve made a few adjustments to the web site — some are complete, some are in progress, some are pending.
First and foremost: I’ve eliminated the forums because the echoing sound of crickets chirping and pins dropping was keeping all the other websites on the Internet awake at night. This is not a great loss, honestly — participation was low, and even I had trouble deciding what should be a blog post and what should be a forum post. Plus, the next version of WordPress will have threaded comments built in, so every blog post will be very conversation friendly. If you miss the forum… let me know in the comments of this post. (See what I did there?)
Next: Since I’m actively seeking gainful freelance and / or permanent employment at the moment, I’ve added my resumes to the site, as well as a selection of endorsements and recommendations folks have written on my behalf. If you need (or know of anyone who needs) a writer, editor and new media expert with an emphasis on podcasting who is equally admired and respected by dot-com CEOs, social media superstars and independent creative types alike, here I am!
Also: I’m actively promoting freelance activities I’ve done in the past, including story consultation for fiction writers, podcast and new media consultation, and writing and editing. I’ve provided professional critiques and writing assistance for independent authors like podcast novel pioneer Paul Story, created podcasting solutions for companies like Shout! Factory and Gerber & Co. and helped folks with custom WordPress installations and themes. I’m looking to do more.
Soon, I’ll be adding rate cards for my podcasting and other tech services, providing details for folks who want to book me as a speaker and creating a media page. I plan on expanding the Mall with more departments in my Amazon store and a CD Baby store with links to all the bands I’ve played on my podcasts.
Is there anything you think I should add?
