As I gingerly take a step outside of the confines of the Colbert Nation

I just thought I’d take a quick moment to promote a little writing I’ve been doing elsewhere. My buddy Lorelle VanFossen, WordPress guru and all-around snazzy lady, invited me to write a series about the steps it takes to run a fan blog. While I am a fan, I am also a webmaster and blogger, and decided to step up to her challenge. I have created a blog post series for her site called “The Art of the Fan-based Blog“. I talk about some of the behind-the-scenes workings of this site and give lots of tips for anyone who has ever considered starting a fan site of their own.

Please go check Lorelle’s site out and my blog series if you’ve got a few minutes – I made sure to include some Stephen Colbert eye candy for her to use with the posts in the series, and you may learn a few more things about me, and about how we do what we do here at No Fact Zone.

And speaking of eye candy …

    Congrats on the series! I think it’s sorta funny how your ten steps are “The 10 Cs” as opposed to another letter. Hehehe… There’s always a connection back to the Nation in just about everything. : )

      You know, I didn’t even think about it. That’s how deeply I have this fandom in my subconscious. :)

    DB,

    I loved reading the article and look forward to reading the rest of the series!

    If I did create a fan-based blog, it would be for Stephen Colbert, but you’ve already got it covered!
