This may be a bit off topic, but I wanted to just give an update on all the exciting opportunities that have been coming my way. As many people know I have a music blog which I’ve haven’t been paying much attention to, but still try to maintain. Well a music publicist has gotten in contact with me, asking if I was interested in doing an interview of one of their bands. The band in question is called MM9 or Many Machines On Nine, which have been getting some decent airplay from my favourite radio station (five different songs) and their debut is doing quiet well in the Australian Indie Charts. See how this pans out but is quiet interesting.
Also another opportunity that has come up is a chance to write for a newly formed local street press. I was offered the chance and have written two music based articles (one on Powerdfinger and the other about The Butterfly Effect and Calling All Cars). Though the good thing about this is, the fact is this will give me an opportunity to write more articles, and get my name out there. I’m not planning on focusing on just music based articles, I have actually been writing one about Social Networking.
These opportunities are awesome but my main focus will remain with knowledgelost, though I feel like I’m coming to the end of the wordpress.com platform and may have to look at upgrading sometime soon. Readership has increased heaps, but there is only a small, but growing community leaving comments.
My biggest concern is losing readers or failing to keep the growth from the move. But I have been focusing a lot of getting my blog out there. I have been using twitter for awhile now, but only recently added a facebook page, as well as adding links into Stumble, Delicious, Reddit and Digg.
So while I’m at a crossroads with this blog, expect good things to come soon.
thank you very much. i have a lot of knowledge from your blog. Great information! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!
We are all lookin for knowledge, I’m glad you found some here.
Oh, congrats and good luck with your writing gigs!
And just concentrate on continuing to have quality posts. Readers will follow you whether you stay at wordpress or change.
I will never give up writing on these topics; this has become a new passion and I want to explore it continuously. I just feel moving to a wordpress.org blog will make it look professional with more options than wordpress.com can offer.
Also I have been toying with the idea of a forum to go along with it. I consider calling it Knowledge found.
That’s an interesting idea. And I like the name for it.
That’s part of my future plans of my blogging. I think I would need to build a bigger community before adding that feature to it.
