LITTLESPOON IS MOVING

So…yeah. I finally got completely fed up with WordPress, and decided to shift littlespoon to another host (hence the month-long hiatus). Sorry it took so long; I wanted to make sure that this will be the last move this site will need to make, and that took time.

SO, where is littlespoon moving to?

Site Announcement

Hey everyone, couple of things:

  1. Littlespoon has another new layout! What do you think?
  2. Posting will probably be a little delayed again today (6/27). I’m traveling, and I’m sure WordPress (my server) will be swamped yet again due to all the Michael Jackson coverage. Bear with me through these next few days; I’m in the process of taking Littlespoon to a different server, but it takes a lot of work. I promise I’m not just neglecting the blog– I have a whole slew of articles already written and just waiting to be uploaded.
  3. With school and work and life, I don’t always have enough time to dedicate enough to Littlespoon. Because of this, I’m looking for a few contributing writers to help me out. If you’re interested and/or want to learn more, please check the “Join” tab at the top of the page.

    And last, but most certainly not least:

  4. Check back here later today for another entry of The Grind. We’re catching up with Raw Milk, seeing what’s new, and also premiering another new song! Believe me, you want to listen.
