And…. I’m back.

Ok, so it’s been a bit (read: a TON) crazy in my life lately. My apologies to all my readers for the way that Startgo.com fell off the map this month. Thank you if you’ve hung in there with me. Several changing focuses at work have created less time for me to focus on this blog and it’s new direction over the past weeks.
In personal things, I’ve had several computer upsets. After the death of our computer in February, I’d been using our roommate’s computer for work and online stuff. Needless to say, since I sped about 8-10 hours on the computer doing my job a day they quickly felt like they no longer had their own computer. It became necessary to find a computer of our own. And by find, I do mean find. While the hubby is looking for a job we’re existing on my freelance & independent contracting jobs. This leaves us at about 2K a month, which doesn’t leave any room for a new computer.
Luckily, a daughter of a friend of my mom’s surfaced with a computer she was trying to get rid of. We were wary because the last three ‘getting rid of’ computers we’ve been given/loaned haven’t been the best. However, things are finally seeming to be looking up for us. Our new computer is a rescue from a closing Internet gaming/cafe and seems to be quite powerful. Plus, it’s got a glowing blue case that makes me feel like something out of Star Trek, which is always good.
So I’m back. Thank you for hanging around or not unsubscribing your RSS feed. We’re set with a month’s worth of articles now (plus a few back articles including the rest of the Create Your Own Website Challenge, so make sure to read them!) and at the beginning of May I’m going to post the whole series on website creation as a free ebook.
Our new focus is, as you may or may not remember, is the finances of travel. We’re launching our new podcast “Traveling Money” this month which is interviews and suggestions from fellow travelers who have great advice and suggestions on how to make your travel dollars. Our first episode, due to air on iTunes on April 5th, introduces us to Theresa Backinton who shares with us how she and her husband Jeff have been able to save enough money to travel the world for a year after his PhD defense this fall.
Finally, you’ll notice that we’ve got a new page! I’m working on compiling a list of financial resources for travelers, don’t hesitate to check them out and suggest something if you know a resource I don’t.
Sincerely,
Susan Reed
Welcome back…I look forward to the podcasts and the e-book. I want to learn how to create an e-book.
