“Gapingblog.com– an offshoot of Hugh MacLeod’s gapingvoid and his Scottish webmaster, Jonathan Alstead– is a blog hosting service for hardcore, professional and corporate bloggers who are damn serious about the medium. No messing around.”
I’ve gone into the blog hosting business. Sort of.
Johnno’s been building and hosting gapingvoid since its inception in 2001. He’s cheap, realiable, good natured and honest. His elder bother is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I trust both of them utterly.
John does all the hosting, technical, design and whatnot. My part is to help advise the client with what I know about blogging and communication strategy (which is a lot).
Clients of gapingblog.com will be able to consult me via e-mail on blog design, marketing and strategy (within reason, of course, please don’t stalk me).
