Up to now this blog has served primarily as a soap box. It would be awkward to completely change its purpose. Old readers would be a little confused, and new readers would look through the archives and be even more confused. <br /><br />Of course, since we started New Clarion, this blog has been growing weeds. <br /><br />I think I wanted to change use Myrhaf because if I start a new blog, Myrhaf will be done. Finito, over, moth balls. I was hoping to keep the archives from 2006 on at the new blog.<br /><br />I went ahead and bought the url for 99 cents and 1+1. I looked into a trademark, and they want $159 that I don't have.Myrhafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340507405537605164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-60135610070574371422011-09-26T10:51:52.192-07:002011-09-26T10:51:52.192-07:00Caveat: This is my completely non-expert and off-t...Caveat: This is my completely non-expert and off-the-cuff opinion.<br /><br />I wonder if you need to worry about your non-mainstream views. I think of the authors I've enjoyed over the years, and all of them had publicly held non-mainsteam views. Some of them even influenced the philosophic direction of my life, heh. Especially if you're going to write science fiction or adventure - the audiences for those actively *want* non-mainstream views.<br /><br />But, like I said, non-expert here.Inspectorhttp://newclarion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-40149257794812089142011-09-26T10:29:16.859-07:002011-09-26T10:29:16.859-07:00Wow.

I'll have to change the name of the blog to my real name, William Greeley, and blog more actively. Using this blog might not be a good idea, as my views are not mainstream. I offend everyone, left and right. Is that a good marketing strategy?"</i><br /><br />Why use your existing Myrhaf blog for that instead of just starting a second, brand new one from scratch? There's no rule or anything on blogger that forbids people having more than one blog if the content meets their terms and conditions (i.e., no spam blogs)<br /><br />Also, if you are going to get a URL, you might consider having your blog at that URL. WordPress is free and very easy to install, maintain and update.<br /><br />Anyhow, today's world IS a great opportunity for new writers, musicians, artists, etc to acquire an audience that the "gatekeepers" of the past would have prevented them from reaching. The downside is for those who DO make it big in a big way. Making it "big" in the future will likely involve smaller audiences than it did in the past - as is the case today with music sales. I read somewhere a comment made about the music industry - in the new world there will be far fewer artists who become super rich, but many, many more who will be able to make a living off their music. And for the rest of us it means more options than could have even been imagined in the past.Dismukehttp://dismuke.org/blognoreply@blogger.com
