    There hasn’t been much on this blog of late.  That’s primarily because, in the topsy-turvy world of Upstart Blogger/Ashley Morgan, there hasn’t been much going on.  Sure I could comment on the 4 different name changes his “rec…

  • A slow day?

    For those that haven’t noticed it yet, upstartblogger.com has taken yet another turn. Remember the old tagline of the site?  If you don’t, I’ll remind you: Successful blogging made simple. As it turns out, successful blogging just is…

  • alternate covers

    i’m still somewhat undecided on the cover.  i sort of go back and forth between liking it and thinking it’s too abstract or hard to recognize (and then i go back and forth about whether or not i care about recognizability).  i was playing…
