If I have any readers left out there, let me start out with a sincere apology to them for the lack of content on Flee The Cube.  I know a few of my friends used to check the site regularly to see what I was up to, and I hope they’ll come back!

As I mentioned back in April, the reason for the lack of content is that I am focusing my efforts elsewhere.  In terms of my personal projects, I’ve been putting most of my effort into Argentina’s Travel Guide.  The idea was to make that site the traffic and link authority leader in the Kokua Web network.  Argentina’s Travel is now the traffic leader by far, but interestingly enough, Flee The Cube is still the link authority leader.  Must’ve been all those memes I jumped head first into.
Also, I’ve been working on a large web development project for Karen Hill Scott & Co. It’s a portal dedicated to preschool planning in the state of California, and it’s built on Expression Engine.  All I want to say here is that the project is going well, and oh yeah, I *heart* Expression Engine.  In terms of flexibility and power, it leaves most other CMSs I’ve used in the dust. (NB. I haven’t used that many...)

And to complete my disappearing act, this summer I went to three out of town weddings and had both my parents and my little sister visiting me for a month, so I made a conscious decision to take a vacation from my virtual life.

The one [very] interesting result from this period of inactivity is that despite the relative dormancy of the network over the last 45 days, both traffic and income held relatively stable (traffic dropped some, but somehow, income increased).  It’s not how I would have wanted to do such an experiment, but it was a very encouraging thing to discover.

And now, it’s time to jump right back on the horse.  I’m excited to get back to work, and I have a few ideas to grow the content base, the traffic, and perhaps to launch a few new projects.

I don’t necessarily want to say “Stay Tuned” but at least, subscribe to the RSS feed!
