Sometimes life just happens. Blogs serve as both an outlet and a distraction. When they cross that line, that’s a sign that it’s time for a break from them.

Thanks for the clarification. I suppose this is also a danger of the blogosphere, when it’s not always easy to know what’s gone before. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the cynicsm – I think it’s part of what prompted my own comments. The fine line between separating the personal and the business tone is difficult, particularly because, as I said, blogs are meant to come from the ‘heart’. It’s a bit like writing e-mails, it can be easy to misinterpret because of the more relaxed way of writing.

Best of luck with the blogging elsewhere, (send us some links so Net.Mentor can read and track) and also with the personal stuff – I certainly know what that’s about right now!!

Also, I hope it really didn’t come across that I’m leaving NakedPR for a while because of “bitterness.” That’s not the case in the slightest. As I mentioned there, I recently suffered some personal upheavals, and decided to re-evaluate how I was spending some of my time. Talking about problems in online PR that never get fixed just isn’t a priority with so much else going on, from trying to finish a book proposal and launching a few new online publishing ventures to overhauling other blogs I manage (I’m still a very active blogger elsewhere) and taking care of an unusually-increased client load. So am I cynical about much in the online PR realm? Certainly. But “bitter” is a bit off the mark.
