Hello World – SpyreStudios Is Now Live (finally!)

April 6, 2008 by Jon 15 Comments

“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 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 eventually), 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 was my main project (apart from this blog) till I sold it to Mason Hipp.

What About This Site?

We (the Spyre team) wanted to start this blog for many reasons. The main reason is that we needed a place to write about SpyreStudios and our projects and personally because I wanted to write about my personal experiences as a web-designer and also give some tips on blogging, building an online community, social media and of course, design. :)

So here it is: SpyreStudios!

Make yourself at home, enjoy your stay, and leave a comment below (even if it’s just to say hi!)

*note: don’t forget to grab the RSS feed! :)

    Hey jon, yup! I just checked my other email and found all your messages. Sorry!

    I hardly check that email anymore so when you send me an email please send it to my usual one. that’s the one I use all the time. I might be online later not sure though.
