It is GOOD to be back with the radio and website presence.
I have built a site on WordPress. The pages and sidebar need some fleshing out but essentially all the info you need about me and the show are in one place
www.radiocrystalblue.netThe Google site was fleeced this week as well. I’ve left a statement encouraging you to change bookmarks.

I’m getting disciplined to post every 1-2 days on the site. Thus far I’ve made an intro post, and reposted some audio from 2011.  All the older content from my RSS feeds are missing because of media limitations
You will also see posts about the shows I attend as I share audio and photos of the experiences. I don’t have video on the site but that’s what my YouTube channel’s for!

I truly hope you like the experience. Please tweet, RT, post about my posts. If you have a WordPress site I should follow, let me know. I will follow back.

FINALLY I have the opportunity to post and publicly fit media again on the Web.

You know this is as the holiday edition of Radio Crystal Blue.
