WordPress Jail

Bustin' out!
WordPress Jail. That’s what brings me to Extreme Writing Now, a suspension over some unnamed TOS violation. I have written support and have seen not a peep, in fact I found out about the suspension through a friend who trying to read one of my blogs there. Honestly, I can’t fathom what it is I did, but I’m not overly upset about it. The life sentence just forced my hand in starting the “stand alone” blog I’ve been wanting to start for sometime anyway.
The one thing I am a little pissed about is all the time I am having to spend setting this up. A lot of work is getting suspended until I fire this beast up. I have projects just starting, projects I’m in the middle of, and Squidoo lenses to build. I am attempting to get to the Giant 100 club by the September 30 deadline, and this move is putting a crunch on it. But, I’ll be on track in no time, and those of you that know me understand I won’t quit until it’s done.
Just like the now defunct, Extreme Writing blog, I’ll be writing about writing here. Freelance, article, content and more. I’ll also be blogging about Squidoo here, just because I’m lazy. Well, that and I am a typical male who will chase a shiny piece of foil if it floats past.
I will continue to write for SquidLog, the e-zine ran by Squidoo lensmasters for Squidoo lensmasters, as well as Two Peas In A Pod, one of the most fun blogs I’ve ever written for. Oh, I’ll continue to whore myself out for the right price too. Writing is what I love, and I’m always looking for new projects to wrap some ink around.
Pretty much what WordPress has done for me is kick my ass on the front end, but provided me with the motivation to step it up on the backside.
Thanks guys!

I’m really loving this layout! A gorgeous design.. wonder who thought this one up? I think this will work much better than the other.. free to work now!
Yea sometimes it takes an action by someone to spark a reaction in you! Good for you for following through, I am looking forward to what you add here
Welcome to the world of stand-alone blog owners! As long as we know where to find you, we don’t care what site it’s on or who hosts it or what jail we might find you in next.
Miss ya, friend. I need to get back to my lenses (and team!), too, before Willow kicks my shiny piece of foil right off the campus!
