IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 29, 2021
I apologize to everyone who woke early on the 1st to check your screen, disappointed that the Blog88.0rg October Issue was not up. Well, it is still October, and here it is!
Articles by Phoebe Sparrow Wagner in each of the first two issues was a hard act to follow. Phoebe had set a world-class standard. Following an Olympic Gold Medalist long distance runner, we will be happy to amble in her footsteps, enjoying the stroll. I think we ended up with a very nice issue. There is a lovely piece by amazing Justin Cabral. In a uniquely unencumbered style, with 83 exuberant words, Cabral extols an array of 40 things which bring him joy. The October Issue also features an Ask The Broker column, titled, “Black Swans.” And there is more.
Behind the scenes, I struggled with the technology, but finally succeeded in creating an ALL ISSUES button in the main menu. That allows you to access back issues, and it unites Blog88.0rg as a body of work. By December, I hope to have a Patreon account set up for readers, so inclined, to throw something in the hat. My dream-come-true will be when I am able to create a user-friendly readers’ forum.
If you find Blog88.0rg worthwhile, please send links to other people whom you think might appreciate it. Readership is still small but growing. I am not wasting time on “marketing” or “search engine optimization (SEO)” or trying to “create content.” My “marketing strategy” is to attract readers with good writing.
My best wishes to all,
Steven K-Brooks, Editor
