Stepping Down From The Job

I'm young and moving on ...

[chris_f]

Hi All,

I've got some good news and bad news for all you webmasters and seo's. There is more work available to you. Now the bad news. Although I'm young, I am officially retiring my boots as webmaster and seo. I am staying with my full-time job of working in schools in Newham and making sure that their networks are working. I am still going to follow these areas but as a passion rather than a job. I am selling my clients along with my company to a previous colleague of mine. Alas, my cars are going too (with exception to the supped up Lacer Evo and the new, just bought and being picked up on Friday, Renault Clio 1.2l Expression).

However, as I said above, I will be continuing the work, just as a passion. I will be writing articles and starting a blog which I will keep you informed about. I will remain a supporter and I will still post here, it will just be an awful lot less frequent. Of course, I will still be going to the London PubCon.

One final note, I know we have all seen people go or step down of late, however, don't be disheartened. This industry is not dying and you can make it. In fact, now it's probably better. Most of the people we have seen change are due to success rather than failure.

Speak to you all soon

To Brett, the mods and long running loyal supporters,

Thank you for making this such a wonderful place to be. You have all helped me (and others) learn the basic and advanced techniques. I have never met such a bunch of genuine, helpful and wonderful people.

That's it ... it's offical. I am no longer in charge. My blog and articles will be going up as soon as I have enough.

Chris

p.s. I'm FREE :)

[BlobFisk]

What are you going to do with all that free time? ;)

See you tomorrow night!

[chris_f]

What are you going to do with all that free time?

Trying to beat an Irishman at his own game ... Drinking :)

See you tomorrow night!

Chris

I can see that I'm going to be in trouble tomorrow... ;)

[BlobFisk]

I'm going to have to bring some backup in case I don't live up to the Irish stereotyping! ;)

I can always blame the dodgy English beer/ale!
