Heading Back to Org

Well, it’s been somewhat interesting trying new things the last few months, but as of next week I’m officially back blogging at Sidedown.org rather than having the WordPress blogs. It just didn’t work for me the way I wanted.

I’ve never been a break up/make up person, but I guess I just needed some time off from ORG, to get my head together, to figure out what I really wanted from that online relationship. Ultimately, I enjoy the custom interface that Pete and I built for Sidedown, it is my blog backend of choice, plain and simple.

So, no more WordPress, no more Blindsided News at WordPress… just back to regular ol’ Sidedown.

To the few people who checked in on the publishing work while I was here, thanks! I hope you head over to Sidedown.org and reconnect with me there.

See you at ORG!~Jw

Go check it out, and pick up a copy for yourself! Of course, since this is a Sidedown product, the book comes with extra surprises and goodies. You can’t lose!

Calm of the Niger: Almost There

We are about a week out from pre-orders for Jared Cohee’s travel book! It’s getting very exciting here at BSB HQ, what with all the final edits and cover design and music composition and all. There’s still time to become a patron of the book if you want to support independent artists, authors, and teeny tiny publishers like us. If you become a patron, you get an autographed, advanced copy of the book, a whole bunch of extras plus a mention in the book, so how can you go wrong?

We’ll be back in a few days to show you the cover!
