qdoba-sound

I got an email recently from Qdoba letting me know I could now visit their website and download a free music file and learn more about "our sound" at their website. Honestly the "sound" of Qdoba is something I’d probably prefer not to hear about if you know what I mean.

To me it’s not too much different than Pizza Hut and their Wing Street brand. Pizza Hut , you’re really not doing pizza that well anymore, how about you just focus on improving that before you start also offering less than average buffalo wings too.

You’ve obviously had some great things to say and are a talented writer, but now you may not know where to do it.

Invest in yourself.

You should be able to request your past posts from b5media and get them as an WordPress export file that you can then use to setup your own WordPress site. Don’t know how to do that? Here’s my offer.

If you’d like to setup your own domain and setup WordPress but don’t know how, I’d like to help.

Just email me and let me know you’re interested. I’ll take care of the following for you:

  1. Register and setup your domain
  2. Setup web hosting
  3. Install WordPress on your domain
  4. Import your old b5 posts into your new site
  5. Help you install a template of your choice

Then you can get back to doing what you love. Writing and blogging.

I’ll take care of all of this for you for $100, which will pay for my time, the domain name and hosting for the first year. After that you’ll just need to pay for the annual renewal of your domain name and hosting each year.

I’ll help you keep things updated with WordPress and try and take care of all the other tech stuff that b5media handled for you in the past.

Email me or leave a comment if you’re interested.

If you’d like to read more about my history with b5, just read my previous post, The End of My b5media Days.

I received my termination letter this morning from b5media President & CEO, Elaine Kunda. There’s been quite a bit of chaos around the b5media world the last few weeks as they continued to dump bloggers as part of their ongoing quest to re-focus and reconfigure themselves as a new media company.

b5-EveryJoe

I’ve been writing for b5 since the early days, and actually started when original CEO and founder Jeremy Wright invited me to the team back in December of 2004. Since that time I’ve written for a number of sites and on a variety of topics for the network.

As the company continued to grow and gain funding, I surfed the wave of bumps and bruises along the way and enjoyed the community around the network. It was a great time and I learned a ton about myself and the topics I wrote about.

I’ve always thought that the strength of b5media didn’t necessarily lie with the idea behind the network, but it was because of who was involved, both at the top, in tech support and all of the individual bloggers. It was a great community.

As things began to shake-up and shake-out, I avoided numerous rounds of cuts, pay contract changes and restructures. I wasn’t sure how long the ride was going to last, but I committed to continue writing and just "keep my head down" and see where I ended up.

I ended up at today.

My time with b5media is over.

I’ll miss the memories of b5, but I’m looking forward to taking a little bit of a breather and starting to write on my own sites again. They’ve been sorely ignored with everything else I’ve had going on.

If you enjoyed my writing on all of these topics, stayed tuned here to see what I’ll be doing next and be sure and follow me on twitter as I’ll continue to be active there.

So long to the past and here’s to the future with more of my investment and time going to my own deal with Bnpositive Communication & Design.
