Those Magic Changes

Big changes are underway here at corporate headquarters. I recently registered EngagedGroom.com. There's nothing there now, but sometime this fall I'll begin moving my groom-related posts and wedding ephemera to that site. I'm hoping that PlanetGordon.com will grow into more of a showcase for my writing and personal news as I continue building up a freelance career.

To that end, I must encourage the couch potatoes among you to tune into the History Channel for the remaining episodes of Modern Marvels on which I served as the supervising producer. You can watch World's Fastest - which is about record-breaking cars, boats and rollercoasters and not, as you might think, about loose women - on August 24. Wiring America airs August 31. September 7 will see the broadcast of a food-themed night on THC: Coffee followed by Sugar. Who wants to see an hour-long documentary on coffee, you ask? The show is actually one of my favorites and should be of interest to anyone who steps into their local java joint on a regular basis.

As for the new site, EngagedGroom.com - I figured that was easier to rattle off in, say, an interview with Oprah than TheEngagedGroom.com - will tie in nicely with the book and I hope to turn it into an online resource for grooms. Message boards, helpful hints, sample budgets and other related information will be part of what I'm envisioning, but I'd love to take input from readers. What do you think should go up there? What's missing from the Web that would be of use to you as a groom? (Women are, of course, welcome to offer their opinions as well.)

In the meantime, barring any other big news, PlanetGordon will be on hiatus until after Labor Day. Check back then for more updates.

As always, thanks for your support.

Oh, yeah. Did I happen to mention that you can preorder the book on Amazon?

A schedule! Hard to know when to do what.

that sure is a lot of ads on your future web page. how many ads will there be once you have content on it?
