Canada Arts Connect *Update*

Hi everyone!

-
I wanted to post to let you know what's been happening with Canada Arts Connect.
-
First, I had a few issues with the site and while trying to fix them I messed things up quite horribly. I now have everything back to how it originally was -- thank goodness!
-
Second, I've had an opportunity come up that prevents me from doing the daily job postings (which take quite a bit of time each and every weekday morning). I thought I had someone willing to take on the responsibility of these posts while I would continue to handle all other posts (and everything else that goes along with the site). Unfortunately, that fell through.
-
I know some of you have expressed interest in writing for CAC and might be willing to take over the daily job posts -- and thank you for that! The problem I have is that with CAC being such a young site (only a few months old), I don't have the revenue to pay anyone.
-
As you may know, I have an issue with people not paying writers for their work (even though I do agree that there are some exceptions to the rule). It just feels sort of hypocritical of me to ask someone to take on such a huge responsibility for no pay. Maybe I'm being too much of a stickler here...I dunno.
-
Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out what to do next, but as soon as I do, I'll let you know!
-
Oh, and the twitter account and email were deleted in a moment of despair when I couldn't get the site back up and my writer had bailed. I was ready at that point to just give up, honestly. But so many of you have been emailing and contacting me on my personal twitter account to ask if everything is okay, I felt I couldn't let go yet. So thanks everyone! :) If I sort this out I'll put both the twitter account and email back up soon.
-
If you'd like to contact me right away, you can email me at info(at)desireeo(dot)com or you can find me on my twitter account at http://twitter.com/DesireeO (@DesireeO).
-
I promise I'll do my best to figure this out as soon as I can. And sorry for all the confusion and inconvenience this may have caused...trust me, I'm right there with you! ;)
-
Thanks again everyone!
-
:) Desirée

  4. I love the site too, have you considered getting a few people to blog for you? I'm sure lots wouldn't mind posting a day a week, or even just doing a round up of the listings in their field. Don't let it die!
