Oh, Well

The good news is that the site is now officially up and running.

The bad news is that I have all but lost my entire archive, meaning that I have over 500 entries that are in my ftp in html form. In order to re-post them I would have to re-enter them all, removing the html code. So, I have decided that maybe it is time to just give up on this blogging thing.

I actually I have been mulling this over for awhile, really. Losing the archives certainly makes my decision easier. Hot Gun Spy wasn't getting very many hits as it was and I was spending several hours everyday keeping the site updated. It really just doesn't seem worth it.

However, that being said, I have not given up on blogging altogether. My wife and I are launching a new site imakebooks.com, which will launch this Monday, August 1st. The new site will be a blog of sorts, and will act as a resource for Self-Publishers. I hope that any and all of you will come visit us at the new site and let us know what you think.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with this site. It may just become a personal home page, or a place for me to sell my books. Then again, a week may pass and I may get the itch to blog again and then Hot Gun Spy will rise again.

For now, though, I am going to let this site sit dormant until I get imakebooks.com up and buzzing and then I will make an ultimate decision on the future of this site.
