Brief Background… Back in 2005, I decided to give blogging a serious go. Not knowing where to turn, I found  BlogHarbor   (now  PressHarbor ) and began public journaling. At the same time, I had completed my first (and only -yes, I know) vocal solo album and (having recorded independently) needed a way to market…for free.
