I’ve moved to racing reference!
Posted by jamesy18 on December 5, 2009
Hi guys, just a quick notice,
As you may know, I’m looking for the best ways to get into motor sport journalism. It has been an interest of mine for several years now, as I soon realised that if I couldn’t be a driver in a team, I could be the next best thing. My skills in english have always been good at school and my interest for motor sport has never waived.
I came to wordpress this year as a way to hopefully show my writing talent off to other journalists to get a bit of interest going, and of course, have some discussion with you, my readers. Over the space of 2009 I’ve typed up over 60 entries ranging from race reports to rants. On some days I have had over 30 views to this blog, which I think for a private blog that I don’t advertise on any search engines, is a big accheivement.
Now I have a new oppertunity to post my blogs to a bigger audiance. Recently, I applied to a site known as “Racing Reference” to be one of a few regular bloggers that air their thoughts on all things motor sport. The site also have results from recent races in NASCAR and F1, but is looking to expand into other series. This site generates a massive majority of readers compared to a wordpress blog, so it is an honour to be a blogger there to help me a step closer to becoming a journalist.
The new web address for this site is http://www.racing-reference.info/ and I go under the name of “JHS”. Please, read everybody’s blogs there as there are some very interesting thoughts from all the current bloggers. If you want to help, comment, favourite and spread the word to your friends.
However, as good as this new opportunity is for me, it is also why I have to post this announcement here. Starting now, new blogs will be posted on Racing Reference’s site and no longer here. However, this blog will be kept* for your reading pleasure to read everything that I’ve posted this year. Thanks for your incredible support guys, and here’s on to a brilliant 2010!
Oh, and happy holidays whatever you celibrate.
Warm regards,
James.
*-I don’t know how long a WordPress blog can be left before it eventually gets deleted, but TOH will be around for now!
