This column (or blog as I’ve finally begun to call it) has been on Blue Mag since September 2004, but changes are afoot. Blue Mag is tightening its focus to concentrate on its features, which is appropriate, I think, and I’ve been thinking about going independent too. As a result, Northern Letter will be moving to a new location soon.

It’s been fun to be part of Blue Mag and to learn more about its publisher Don Zacharias and Rooney and others. Blue Mag has really allowed me to dip my toe into blogging and writing for the web. Special thanks go to Don for encouraging me and spending lots of time on the technical stuff. I hope I’ve been able to bring some extra traffic and attention to Blue Mag.

I’m excited about the new possibilities before me and look forward to embracing the blog format with more gusto. Heretofore I’ve regarded this as more of a column, old guy that I am. That being said, I won’t entirely forego long entries.

If you’ve appreciated Northern Letter, please leave a comment or email me at william.ostrem at gmail dot com. Let me know if you think it should be on a site like Wordpress.com (the probable choice) or on a hosted server (giving me more control). See you out there somewhere on the web!
