Housekeeping notes

Posted on

I’ve changed the URL to the Editorial Services page, so links on old blog posts might be broken. Static pages have been updated with the new URL, and the page is still available in the header, so hopefully this won’t cause too much disruption to anyone looking for the link.

I also installed a plugin to counter the recent botnet attack targeting WordPress sites (if you run a WordPress site and use “admin” as your username, change it now and change your password) and I deleted a bunch of old files on the back end. This shouldn’t affect the visible parts of the site.


Site tweaks correction

Posted on

I’ve decided to change things up a little (“no dramatic overhauls”: famous last words) and set a landing page for the site, then move the blog off to the side a little. Fun! I think this arrangement will be a little more reader-friendly, though. I don’t think the move has broken RSS subscriptions.

I’m still working on things (here and there, during naps and after bedtime, between packing boxes…) so please pardon my proverbial dust.


Site tweaks

I’m back from the Wheatland Music Festival and much refreshed!

I’ve been making small tweaks around the site, mostly rewriting and retitling some of the static pages. (Those were written during my initial burst of enthusiasm and have benefited from a little time to simmer, I think. And editors gonna edit.) I don’t expect any downtime or dramatic overhauls or anything, but if you can’t find something you were looking for, try the site search or drop me a note to ask about it.



Watch this space

Okay, this is it. I’m taking the big leap and transitioning Last Syllable Communications into a full-time gig. I’ve got business cards coming in the mail and everything.

Seriously, the time is right to do this. I’ve talked about it off and on for years, I’ve got enough editing experience to rely on, I already have just about everything I need stuff-wise so my startup costs will be quite low indeed, and a financial plan to make sure my family stays fed for the next year-ish while I build the business. So I’m putting myself out there as of today: editor, writer, and social media consultant.

Check the About page to see what projects I’ve done and what I might be able to do for you.


Changes, changes

orange construction coneThis site is in the process of being updated to reflect my nascent small business and what we offer.

If you came here looking for Shakespearean analysis to crib for an essay, that did used to be here some time ago, and it’s the origin of the site’s name. That writing is now lost to the mists of time. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move along.
