What Happened to WebbyOnline.com?

Well, I didn’t waste any time with this one. In yesterday’s newsletter, I said I was thinking of converting this site to a blog format. Well, between then and now, I’ve done the setup and imported most of the pre-existing content. What you’re looking at now is the new WebbyOnline, now powered by WordPress. I firmly believe that, as we head into 2007, the blog format will be a much more useful format for myself as well as my readers. Blogs are more personal, can be updated more regularly, and also lend themselves well to networking in the internet community.

As we move forward, you are now going to be seeing an increased level of updates here at Webby. There will be how-to, of course, but I will also routinely document what I am doing with my business and why I am doing it. I work on the internet full-time and am therefore in the position to talk first-hand about business on the internet. My aim is to help others who are working in this medium or are thinking of doing it. I consider myself very lucky to have gotten to the point where I can sustain my lifestyle totally on the income I generate on the internet. I personally HATE the 9-5 lifestyle of working for a boss. I like the freedom of making my own decisions, of being able to exercise my own imagination to increasing my own income rather than waiting for that stroke of luck that may result in a raise.

Lastly, I just want to mention that I am making this move to WordPress for strategic reasons. It WAS powered by Miraserver, the content management system I wrote myself and am still using to power my flagship site PC Mechanic. I still stand behind Miraserver completely, however it is a traditional content management system and is not a blogging platform. Furthermore, I would never even try to make Miraserver compete with WordPress. WordPress is a great product, but it is no Miraserver and vice versa. So, yeah, I’m moving away from my own product, but I do so for the strategic reason of moving this site into the blog format. And, quite frankly, if one wants to run a blog, WordPress is my recommended way to go.
