Singing My Swan Song

They say all good things must come to an end and I'm afraid that's true of my participation here at Active Rain. This will be my final post.

Starting next week I'm moving to a new job with a different company, one that is not focused on the real estate industry. As much as I enjoy posting here, I can't make a business case for continuing. It has been fun though and my tenure ended on a high note with Blogger's Connect and participation in Project Blogger.

As to the new job, I'll be serving as Director of Production for Bizzuka.com. No, it's not a bubble gum or artillery company. :-) Bizzuka is a web tech company based in the town where I live, Lafayette, Louisiana. Though I had no desire or reason to leave Blogging Systems, Bizzuka made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I know it's the right move and the right time.

Still, I will miss my participation here along with the conversations I've had with many of you. You've given me a warm reception and I've made many new friends. It's my sincere hope those friendships won't end just because I'm no longer blogging here. You can always find me at Facebook you know!

So, let me bid my adieu. I wish you all much success as you continue using blogs as a real estate marketing tool.

I am still in awe about this but wish you the best of luck!! You know we'll keep in touch, so I am not concerned about that....and remember that if you ever have an itch to write about Real Estate Blogging, your input will always be appreciated here in AR.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Paul - Congrats on new beginnings - so glad I got to meet you here - You're going to be a great asset to your new company - thank you for all you shared and taught us. Wishing nothing but the best!!

Paul, I subscribed to you right after reading one of your posts. Your informative posts will be missed but "shift" happens. I wish you all the best in your new position. Thanks for the posts.

We are losing a true pioneer and pillar in the real estate blogging community. Thanks for being the giant shoulders many of us now get to stand on - the view is nice from up here! You'll be missed

Paul- Best wishes on the move and good luck on the transition. You know what they say about opportunities that are too good to pass up... don't pass them up. Thanks for sharing so much here, you will be missed.

Good Luck!!

and.....

Sorry to see you go, I just found out about you blog and this is my first time visiting. I must say it was your location that caught my eye. I grew up in Opelousas and do at times really miss the food of home. Fortunately I am a decent cook.

Good luck with your new venture.

Congrats on the new job Paul. I'm sure that the Active Rain will miss you greatly.

It was a pleasure working together and I'm glad to know that because of these wonderful tools that we utilize we'll run into each other sooner, rather than later.
