Moving on…

Just did the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do… but it’s for the best… I think.

I tweeted that yesterday at around the same time I’m writing this. What does it mean?

Well… it means I left The Web Squeeze. It was a hard decision, very hard decision for me to take since Jacob, Linda and I (along with Marc Fraser) started it all almost 2 years ago. It was something we all really loved doing. At first it was a hobby and that was great but lately, it’s become something more. Owning a Web Magazine is a full time job (as most of you know) and I couldn’t keep up. I don’t have the luxury of sending request to people to write for us, or deal with advertisers, etc… I have a full time job already. And I have a family that I enjoy being with. With client work (that I freelance on the side) and TWS, it wasn’t leaving me a lot of time to spend with my darling little girl who’s growing up too fast and that bass-playing husband of mine that I love so much.

You’ll still see me roaming around the forums once in a while. But I won’t be there very often.

So what’s going to happen now? What am I going to do?

Not much will change actually tho I’ll have more time to deal with client stuff. And there are a few things I want to do, projects I’ve been eager to start so I might jump into that. One thing is for sure tho… this blog will finally get it’s much needed redesign! I’m going more tumblr-like. I’ve a got a few mock-up in PSD that I’m playing around with so you can look to me posting a bit more on here now.

So that’s it… Jacob, Linda and I are still friends and I wish them the best of luck with The Web Squeeze.

Even tho I ain’t part of @thewebsqueeze anymore, be sure to check ‘em out yeah? Promise? Ok good! Moving along!

Tweeted this morning … and I mean it! :)

    Hey Karinne,

    I think it’s a measure of how little time I have been committing to The Squeeze lately (and Twitter for that matter) that I stumbled across this sad — but exciting for you — news this morning.

    Having known you from way back at WebForumz all I can say is that it’s been an honour working alongside you for the last three years. You have a great sense of humour and amazing talent in this industry.

    I wish you all the happiness you desire (the success is a given anyway) and hope we still cross virtual paths regularly in the future.

    Cheers,

    Luke

    Thank you so much Luke! And yes, I’m sure we will cross virtual paths. Maybe I’ll have to send some good spam through the contact form so I can get one of those Oh so funny replies from you ;)

    See you on the forums :)
