I Just Rebranded My Blog

by brianlburns on 30 December 2008

in updates

Alright. That should do it for the UPGRADE - I still, as always, have some tinkering to do, and there are still some cool developments in the works… but I guess it’s close enough to talk about some of the changes.

The biggest change, of course, is the URL and the title - I’ve gone from StartupWriting.com to BrianLBurns.com. The idea, at least when I first started writing fulltime, and first started authoring this blog, was to build a brand around StartupWriting. I have, at least to a certain extent. But really, I’m operating under my personal brand much more than anything these days. And on top of that, even though I still love startups (and it’s still an important part of this blog), my copywriting is no longer exclusive to them. I figured I wanted a little more professional flexibility, and thus, I figured it was time for a name change.

Plus, the name change not only gives me professional flexibility, but it gives me more flexibility with the content of the blog. I’m no longer bound to focus just on writing (though that will remain a focus). I can write more universally about what interests me (and what might interest you). I think my new About page speaks well to that. And while you’re at it, check out the new Creds and Links pages, because I’m pretty psyched about those.

Everything else new you see is just design tweaks - I took the name-rebranding opporunity to also freshen up the look, and try to bring it up to date with the evolution of my business. Please, if you see something that I missed, or you just see something that could be improved, let me know - either here in the comments, or through the Contact page.

Of course, if you don’t have anything wrong to point out… you can just let me know how much it ROCKS!

Re-Design

by brianlburns on 30 July 2008

in links, updates

The blog went under an impromtu re-design tonight, inspired by an awesome theme from chris pearson. I like it, and it’s getting there. But do you guys have any ideas? Anything else I should tweak? Any suggestions as to what should go in the header?
