A New Name and a New Home

by Chuck Westbrook on March 30, 2009

Here you have it. Regardless of what the project becomes, you’re looking at its new clothing. Thanks to Tate Linden and Stokefire.com for helping me come up with a name for this thing.

Thanks to Matt Cheney and Sherple.com for designing the logo, customizing the theme, and moving everything over to the new blog and new domain. I think it’s a great look, and they were incredibly helpful in getting everything set up for me too.

There are plenty of others that I would like to thank for their help, and I’ll be doing so in the near future.

Also, I see that I’ve received some great comments on my most recent post on the old site. Rather than respond in the comments section, I’m going to take tomorrow as an opportunity to respond in a post here.

I do appreciate the supportive words and the thoughtful suggestions, and I’m excited to continue this conversation. For now, don’t you think Stokefire and Sherple did a nice job?

Fantastic Chuck, glad you kept it alive. The site looks great and the ‘giving good blogs a lift’ tag line is superb. Looking very forward to the many great introductions to come. I’ve found a few gems in the project’s past…I’m sure you’ll be picking up some more and bringing them down the path a ways.

Cheers…

Yes, very nice change. makes total sense. I would like to say that I did miss the exit interviews. There were certainly blogs that I didnt relate to, but part of the deal is having a commtment to hang around and make the best of things. Like others here there have been featured blogs I am still following, Zoe (from essentialprose.com) has said it well before: ” Reload, Fire, Aim”

You’ve really brought the brand to life, Chuck. Great job. I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops over time.

I shall now begin compulsively checking the mailbox for my t-shirt and poster with the great work from Sherple.

You get a big thumbs up from me.
