This blog was started 70 days ago on a whim. Things have been going pretty well since then, and I have some success to report on.
First of all, writing here indirectly led me to an opportunity and I am now the editor of the Seattle and Tacoma City Guide at About.com (part of The New York Times Company). The site features information about all aspects of Seattle and Tacoma with lots of useful information for local residents. This is a paid position, and the more traffic my site receives, the better for me. The best way for you to support this blog is to visit that site as often as you can. It will continue to grow with new resources all the time, and I plan on building out some extensive areas surrounding the Seahawks and other Seattle sports. You can also let me know if there is anything you would like to see included on the site.
The blog itself has been discovered by editors at WriteOnSports.com and Pluck.com.
Write On Sports LLC is in the process of creating a forum for sportswriters (amateur and professional) to be able to write on sports and have their voice heard by a knowledgeable audience. The site should go live towards the end of the month. It's goal is to provide a professional well-organized website in which sportswriters are proud to be published and which fosters an interest in the sportswriters' other work. The site will also feature a searchable sports blog library. It will not be a straight listing of all the blogs that relate to each team, but rather a place where someone can go and find a well written blog that offers information to the knowledgeable reader. I was invited to have this site listed in the sportsblog library, so if someone searches for the Seahawks they will be able to find a link to this blog.
Pluck has just launched a project which involves a news wire service and syndication network for blogs called BlogBurst. The site is live and they're recruiting bloggers on an invite-only basis to join the system. BlogBurst is a news service bringing quality blogs onto highly-trafficked, high-brand mainstream publisher sites like the Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle and San Antonio-Express News. I was also extended an invitation to join their network.
Thank you to everyone who reads this blog and has supported my efforts here.
