New Life In The Old Blog?
Hello? Anybody out there? I have my doubts. At one time, when this blog was part of a popular boating blog project, I had lots of syndicated traffic. But sadly, after a nice run, that project went kaput…and with it all the fame, glory, and okay, money I was making from it. I may be passionate about my work, but the reality is I’ve got real paying jobs at Boating Magazine, PersonalWatercraft.com, Boats.com, etc. After a while, it just made sense to focus on the people who were paying the bills.
As a result, this blog, well, let’s just politely say it…stalled.
Change, however, is afoot. Boating Magazine recently asked me to start blogging about (surprise!) personal watercraft. It won’t be much at first — just a few posts a month. But rather than start something fresh there, I’ve elected to syndicate things from here. The result is you’ll once again be seeing some activity on this page. And you’ll also find me on the Boating Magazine page as well.
Some new life in the old blog? Let’s see what happens…
