If I have a blogging mentor it is Bill Hobbs. Bill got me into this about two years ago. He walked into my office and asked me if I wanted to blog. Since I had no idea what blogging was, I was more than just a little uncomfortable. Once I realized that it had something to do with the Internet (Whew!!), I decided to give it a try. The visitors to my site have grown from a handful in the first few months to several hundreds a day from around the world today. Bill had coached and guided me all the way.
Bill has decided to take break from the daily grind of blogging.
Today I am announcing major changes to BillHobbs.com, effective immediately, that will alter this blog’s content and its role in the blogosphere for the foreseeable future. The short version: I am putting my writing of political commentary on indefinite hiatus. I am not, repeat, not completely shutting BillHobbs.com down or disappearing from the blogosphere. I am merely taking a break from what has become a rather time-consuming and uncompensated hobby in order to put more focus on my family, my career, and an increasing workload of blog-related consulting for corporate and political clients.
Thanks, Mr. Hobbs, for all of your support and help.
