Chris and I have been dancing with each other for months. Time will tell, but I think he’s joining us now because he wants to deliver unto us a deep and difficult-to-master marketing philosophy: Get behind the mule and plow! Sounds like a BloodhoundBlog message to me.<\/p>\n
At the same time, I am pruning our Frequent Contributors roster by a few names, folks who haven’t had as much time for us lately: Lani Anglin, Bill Leider and Galen Ward. We’ve never retired a contributor account, so it could be they’ll rejoin us in future.<\/p>\n
Our recent additions have all been very big dogs, so it will be interesting to see if Chris can out-howl them. Nothing like a big challenge to bring forth big results.
