Some time ago after a particularly long string of tweets on my @collis account, someone sent me a twitter message saying “If you have so much to say, get a blog!”. Well I thought about it and 6 months later I’ve decided the mysterious twitterer was right. So today I’m moving in to my new blog The Netsetter!
What Can You Expect
So the blog is going to be about all the things I love thinking about, which basically equates to my work – startups, business online, marketing, design. I like sitting in the bath or in a coffee shop pondering these things and I suspect my very patient wife gets tired of hearing about them … so now my dear reader, that burden falls on you instead!
I’d say I’m going to have a regular posting schedule, but really who knows. I’d also say this will always be a personal blog, but there’s a pretty good chance that at some point I’ll turn it into some sort of business (notice I decided not to use my name as the URL … coincidence, I think not!)
In any case if you’re into the same sorts of things then I hope you enjoy the blog posts and get something out of them!
The Theme
If you’re liking the theme I’m using, you can grab it along with three other colour variations over at ThemeForest’s WordPress Library for just $20. Normally I don’t use off-the-shelf themes as I’m a web designer, but I have to say it was pretty satisfying having a blog up in an hour. Always nice to use your own products and discover they really are worthwhile!
Hey Collis, I for one am happy to see your new blog, and plan to be a regular reader!
Looks like you’ll be posting mostly on topics I’m interested in too!

Well, I will be subscribing. I read North X East from the early days, all the way until you sold. (it’s been inactive for awhile) I’ve casually read FreelanceSwitch for nearly as long, and I’m a huge fan of the *TUTS blogs.
Grats on the new blog. Can’t wait to see what you have to say!
