    Does anyone know why the website hasn't been updated since November?  I mean how hard it is to update a blog?  I am sure they can hire an intern to do it.

    I guess it shouldn't make difference since the blog is crappy. They should have database like Ron and Glenn (mackbolan.com) does. 

    Here is the link to the website.

    Cost cutting?

    Perhaps like DL and OL Gold eagle feel that they don't need an editor for the web page also

    ...how hard it is to update a blog?
    I haven't updated the PostApocalyptica blog since February. Which I guess is better than November, but still. Every week I think to myself, I really need to write that blog post. Then I get distracted by other things, and I never get around to it. I'm a bad person.
    I am sure they can hire an intern to do it.

    Heh. That's kinda funny.

     

    In all seriousness, I think the blog was the brainchild of someone who is no longer around and clearly there is nobody else picking up the ball. Part of the reason for that is likely due to the fact that GE is already getting a couple of websites for free (I do this site for my own personal reasons, and I am sure that Glenn has his own reasons as well). Between the two websites we cover pretty much everything that GE publishes.

    No blog entries since February? Ron, you're a piker. I haven't updated the OAP newsletter for three years. As I recall the GE blogger was just some guy in sales, doing it for grins. Good way to crack the back molars, IMO, but the Canadians have excellent health care.

    The tragic thing is, I've had the next blog post lined up since the week it was due - it's about a very excellent novella called "The Old Man and the Wasteland" (as the title implies, an homage to The Old Man and the Sea). I want people to read it, it's really good. I'll totally get that post done this week for publication next Monday. Absolutely.

    Well, probably. Maybe.

    That sounds good, I'm looking forward to reading it.

    Promises, promises, I know, but I'm halfway through the second draft of my vampire novel for people who can't stand fans of vampire novels. (Yeah, finally a horror novel that haters will enjoy.) And SR is getting finished right after that ... after all, I owe it to my seven followers on twitter.
