I loved the Blogopolis Blueprint.
It was fun while it lasted, but alas wasn’t meant to breathe more than a season. One of the biggest strengths you can have if you make your living online is the ability to rapidly evolve. If you can’t do that, you’re dead in the water. Not every fuse you light will lead to a detonation. It’s essential to be able to step back and observe, rather than continue to pour fuel on something that isn’t ever going to burn.
Perhaps the Blueprint could have roared given enough time, but time was far too short for Eric Hamm and I. We both had too much on our plate, and the juice just wasn’t worth the squeeze. We’ve learned an awful lot with the short lived project, however. All stuff that will eventually paste the front pages of this site.
Just not yet.
In the meantime, a bid a fond farewell to the Blueprint. It was a blast while it lasted.
In other news, or actually just because there is no blog like this online and with a single digit active audience I can dance to whatever tune I like:
David Fowler, that email I just received five minutes ago with David Wright’s web design is just, well… WOW. What can I say? You, my friend, are a genius. Please keep your hands off Writer Dad.
Danny Cooper, my friend, are you still alive and breathing? Email me my brother!
Ghostwriter Dad is now kicking it on page 2 for “ghostwriter,” “ghost writer,” and “hire a ghostwriter.”
YAY!
Until tomorrow…

The blueprint may be coming to an end, but the connections you made and the experiences you shared will last a life time.
^That was my comment before I saw my mention. Some how I totally skimmed past my name and only realised when I saw a ‘danny cooper’ tag. Weird.
I am alive, I have been slacking and I’m amazed how many articles I see you writing in a week – all in different places. I will email you by the end of the day. After I’ve given my self a kick in the butt for slacking.
Oh also my brother, I forgot to comment on your new-found rankings. Looking very good, page one is looking like a piece of cake from here. Could this increase be anything to do with correct use of anchor text?!
Dude, you should have seen the designs I didn’t send you. OK I’ll leave WD alone but I think you need my help at the Inkwell. I’ll just get my crayons and my Big Book Of Swear Words.
Page 2! Awesome!
“the ability to rapidly evolve” — so true, although I’m a bit slower at it than you.
