Hello canucks!
I haven’t been cross-posting my blog entries to here at ProudToBeCanadian for a while anyway so this isn’t very newsy, but I won’t bother posting here at all any more. I’m now fully committed to blogging at the new BoldColors.net and .ca (the .net is slightly different from the .ca, for now anyway, one being America-centric and one Canadian, in case you couldn’t figure that out). And no, I haven’t even been posting at BoldColors very much because of other priorities, but that will change as time frees up.
I’m going to try this for a least a while, anyway. So I’d love it if people would look over BoldColors, please! It’s still in its infancy and much needs to be done in terms of excitement and content and nodules of info etc., but it is at least a going concern now. So please link up to articles there, find the BoldColors RSS feeds, and make comments, and so on. You can also follow me on Twitter as I’ve become a bit more active there. And by active I mean snarky of course.
Registering at BoldColors to comment is… a pain in the ass. I’ll just put that out there to save you the need top say it yourselves or write me to tell me. You can only comment using your real, full name, just as I changed PTBC some time time ago (to much failure), and your identity will have to be proven either with ID you upload to us through the registration form, or via a PayPal or credit card payment to us of any small amount of money (that qualifies since that method requires a real names and identity). If you’re already registered here at PTBC, and I know you through email exchanges, or years of “membership” here, or you’ve purchased stuff from PTBC or sent money, no problem, Just contact me and I’ll set you up there. Real name please!
Since I won’t be blogging here, and since all the columnists have agreed to the move to BoldColors, too, I will stop cross-posting their columns here too (I’d more or less stopped that anyway). 
They’re being posted in both BoldColors.net and .ca in some cases, or at just one or the other in some instances, depending on the context of the column or the arrangements I have with the columnist.
I am looking for new columnists who will write FOR BoldColors (both .net and .ca) — separate from any newspaper articles or op/eds they regularly write, to avoid any copyright or other conflict. If interested, write me. I stress you must be able to write like a pro or better yet, be a professional writer. Nobody will be paid. And yet they must write like pros or be a pro. So, this should be easy.
The database of articles and columns is going to live on, as it is a wealth of information and reference not just for me, but for many people and web sites that have links to the material accumulated here over the years. For example at BoldColors I’ve already had to link to articles here, so even I rely on it being here. So all that stuff will remain here. So the face may change, but the guts will remain intact.
Please contact me with any questions.
