Hey folks,
Its been a while since my last post, but blogging will continue to be sparse as I am taking stock of all things blogging these days. Late yesterday, with much regret, I stepped down from my post as the Editor of the BlogHerald. The reasons weren’t personal, but, as they say in Hollywood, along the lines of having some “irreconcilable differences”. It was not something I did lightly, and it is something that I am actually doing with a lot of sadness. Over the past year I put a lot of work, time and goodwill into making what it is today, and I hope that I have left it in better shape than when I first took it on.
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and work with some great bloggers, some of whom are my blogging heroes. In that I do feel lucky and blessed to have a chance to learn a few new things and make some coin while doing it. Not everyone gets the chance to do what they love to do and get paid for it, and I did, and for that I am grateful.
At any rate, much like a year ago this date, I am considering what direction I should take, and it may take a while before I am blogging regularly again. For those of you who are faithful readers, thanks for being patient as these past few weeks on DJI have been sparse (reality check: bordering on empty). Things will pick up soon, I hope.
Cheers,
Tony.

Hope we can continue the conversation, Tony. It has been a year packed with great discussions. Taking stock and planning for the future is something to do periodically, or we do ourselves a disservice. You know I’m just an email away, too.

Tony,
I have faith you’ll end up in an even better place than before. You’re a talented blogger and I know you’ll figure it out.
Try to enjoy the break and good luck!

Well, I’ll miss reading your posts - your stuff is getting better and better - but it’s hard to put out good quality writing constantly.
But it will pass - what to write about? Don’t’ know, but it sounds like you’d have a good time and maybe get some ideas from the Blogger Social conf that’s going to be in NYC in a couple of months (I don’t want to sound like a hypocrite - I haven’t yet signed up, but will in the next couple of weeks).
Do what you have to do, and then you’ll be freed up to decide what to do next.

Sounds like something that quite a few bloggers go through. For example, I’ve been taking stock since May 2007… LOL it’s quite addicting to stay direction-less. But nevertheless.. I look forward to reading your written thoughts again. Will be staying subscribed.

Here’s hoping you get back in the fray. Enjoy the time off to decompress.

Sounds like it’s time for something different? Video? It’s working for me.
Good luck, get re-energized and come back strong.
