Hello World - Spyre Studios Is Now Live (finally!)
“Hello world! Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!“
Yep, so this site is now up and running! I finally managed to find some time to do it between 2 blog designs for clients. :)
I guess I should start by telling you what this site is about and introduce myself, right? (hey, if you already know me, just jump to the comment section and say hi!):
Ok, so my name’s Jon, I’m a blogger, writer, designer and musician. I’m from Montreal, Canada. I started drinking because of… wait! what?
How I Got Started
I started blogging on Smart Wealthy Rich, a blog which I have now sold to my very good friend Liz Strauss.
I was writing about blogging, entrepreneurship, and stuff like that. It was a blast to write on this blog (and I hope to write on it again soon), many of the posts on there received over 100 comments. Really a lot of fun! Go check it out! :)
Freelance Folder
Then I started Freelance Folder, a multi-author blog about freelancing, web-working, business, productivity, etc… After almost a year blogging on SWR (smartwealthyrich) I just felt like it’d be cool to share the spotlight with other bloggers. Freelance Folder is my main project right now (apart from this blog), even if I don’t write often, this site keeps me very busy!
What About This Site?
I wanted to start this blog for many reasons. The main reason is because I needed a place to write about my personal experiences as a web designer and blogger and also to give tips on blogging, building an online community and design. :) So here it is: Spyre Studios!
Make yourself at home, enjoy your stay, and leave a comment below (even if it’s just to say hi!)
*note: don’t expect 2-3 posts a day on this blog! I’ll try to write at least 2 per week though, so grab the RSS feed! :)
