In the Crosshairs
|
At long, long last, The Gazette is about to get a dose of high-octane regularity... and some much needed clarity. While this publication remains one of the best newsletters of its kind (in our humble opinion), of late, I've been so vastly overrun with distraction, that it's taken an unfair backseat to other business. As a result, I've not been able to get issues out fast enough, and with enough "meat" in them to please everyone's tastes. In the interest of maintaining the highest levels of journalistic integrity, as well as to meet our goals of bi-monthly issues, I've brought in some outside help, from the inside, to take over the reigns, and get this newsletter back on track, in terms of timing, focus, and energy.
Welcome back into the mix, Ron Carnell. (That's "Ron C" to all you forum dwellers...) Ron's been in the background the last few months tending to his own business, but we've been able to coax him back into a more full-time and public role here at Virtual Promote. Anyone who's had the pleasure of interacting with Ron in the forums knows full well the amount of detail and professionalism that he brings into each and every discussion. Ron is the consummate professional, and like myself, one of Jim Wilson's oldest friends. He brings quite a range of talents to the table, being both a skilled programmer, leader of an extremely successful community of his own, and the unofficial "Poet Laureate" of VirtualPromote. His writing style will both entertain and educate, and his attention to detail will ensure that The Gazette remain informative, educational, and most importantly, on time.
Ron's official title will be "Editor In Chief" of The Gazette. He will be responsible for the organization, publication, and most of the writing that goes into each issue. I will continue to "Ramble" in each issue, and from time to time will point out someone as the next "Scumbag," but the lion's share of The Gazette will now be coming from Ron's desk. We will be having guest writers as often as we can to elaborate on some elements, and perhaps a few regular contributors as well. The ultimate direction of The Gazette will be decided upon by Ron, and by you, our readers. You drive the style and content -- so don't be shy, and let us know what works, what doesn't, when we hit a nerve, and when we're right on target. Your feedback will help us (Ron) to keep The Gazette on top of the eZine heap.
Expect the first issue of the new Gazette out on Wed, Sept 28th, and then every 2 weeks thereafter.
