New Mailing Service

Posted in General Stuff

This is a quick post to let you know that I’ve changed my mailing list service provider.

If you have signed up for the mailing list in the last week or you signed up a long time ago and didn’t get the message I sent out letting you know about the change, then please just pop your name and email in the box to the right again.

I’m really sorry for the inconvenience! :cry:

Things should be all hunky-dory from here on in, though.

Leave of Absence…s

Posted in General Stuff

As you will notice from the dates between the last post and this one, I’ve been away from this blog for a while.

I’m likely to be away from it for a while longer. Apologies.

I’m finishing up my MA this semester.

And my current contract finishes in July so I’m in the process of making plans for moving on from this job, which most likely involves moving country.

And I’ve got a couple of other things going on at present.

As I’ve outlined in the “About” post and on the homepage, this blog was a bit premature given my other obligations and time constraints, and was really just an extension of the delivery mechanism for the Halloween and Christmas packs.

I have a lot of ideas and things I’d like to share here, but I haven’t had much time these last 6 months, and I’ve done hardly anything to “get the word out”.

The feedback has been more than a little thin on the ground as well (I think I know why) so when I come back I’ll be changing a few things there.

I’m also having a few back-end technical issues at the moment. For example, I’m going to change my mailing service provider very soon. And I noticed today that the survey database has been corrupted in some way. (Thanks again to the folks who took the time to fill it out. There weren’t actually many of you, but the information was useful to me. More data would, of course, be nice) So, I’ll try and fix it. And failing that look into redoing it somehow. But I’m not a php-programmer so I’m not really sure where to start diagnosing… which is another story.

Please feel free to take a look around the site; there are a few articles that I think you’ll find useful.

If you’re on the mailing list you’ll get an email soon outlining the changes to come.

I’ll be back later in the year. The site may or may not be the same. The articles currently here might be moved or even removed. I’m really not sure yet.

I’ve been spreading myself far too thin and I haven’t been able to post the sort of content I’d like to, as often as I’d like to.

So I’m going to take a little leave of absence.

If you like the (few) articles here and/or you used the Halloween and/or Christmas packs, then make sure you check back to see how it’s going in a few months.

In the meantime, all comments and emails will still reach me via all the same channels so feel free to contact me with questions or comments.

Till then!
