Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog

My First Week With The Blog Herald

My first week as the editor of The Blog Herald has been fun. A bunch of posts, lots of networking, and even more in the pipeline. Among this is a redesign, which I sincerely hope will be well underway this month, although I doubt a release in April is possible, and some tactical recruitment to fill some holes in the staff.

Speaking of which, the writers over at The Blog Herald have been great in welcoming me. Granted, I know a few of them since before, but still. Being brought on as someone who’ll fill the big shoes of the very talented Tony Hung, as well as tackle the problems that the site have. It could’ve been a problem, but it isn’t, always a nice thing.

I’m not working weekends, so now I’ll have some time to sit down and relax, and reflect on the situation. I do indeed have lots of ideas, and then there’s the design decisions to take into account, all with the goal of making The Blog Herald a natural place for bloggers (and wannabes) to visit. The goals are ambitious, to say the least. The only way to have goals in my opinion.

Have a great weekend, I sure intend to.
