Situation wanted

by Matthew Lasar  Jun 25 2007 - 11:50am     

I've been blogging on this site about the Federal Communications Commission for about a year and a half. I've learned a lot, and perhaps you've learned something from my writings as well. But I need to move on and write elsewhere. If you know of that possible elsewhere, I'd be grateful to hear about it.

Why do I want to abandon my blog? The most immediate reason is that this fancy dancy content management system I set up tends to crash a lot (and so does the mirror site I created as a backup!). So I'm spending a lot more time being a bad systems administrator than I want to.

But the most important reason is because I'm tired of blogging alone, to modify Robert Putnam's famous phrase. It seems to me that I'd learn a lot more, reach more folks, and have more fun writing for an organization, profit or non-profit, than I do blogging solo.

And so I'm putting out the situation wanted sign. I'm open to a lot of scenarios, including a for-profit advertising site. In that context I'd ask for some fraction of the revenue for my writing. I'm also open to a non-profit group. But, caveat emptor, I'm a free spirit, and I tend to stray from party lines on occasion.

If you know of any place to which the migrating is good, please send me a line. And thanks for reading my work.
