The Blog and Platform Will Evolve

(Regarding my WordPress Blog)

I know there’s not much traffic here, yet. That’s probably a good thing. I’m not at all pleased with the look and feel right now and I’m still a bit befuddled with the learning curve on WordPress. I’ve maintained a blog for several years elsewhere. That blog format is more user friendly by viture of not having the buffet of awesomeness that is WordPress. So, it’ll take a while for me to get this WordPress house in order to the level I want and need it to be.


I’m thinking, for now, that this blog will be the hub of my writer’s platform. It appears that reaching out from hear can be done, at least adequately, on a large scale. I hope to have a dedicated website someday. It’s still in it’s infancy here: www.creedofkings.com …I may even change the url eventually.

This morning I created the Official A. R. Travis Channel on youtube: www.youtube.com/artravistube. I put up an old video called: Creed of Kings Part I : The Making Of. It’s too long but not horrible. I have more videos to put up, but that’s tomorrow. All the videos so far are mainly for my amusement but they also give an idea for the setting of my book.

In the ongoing quest for making a strong writer’s platform, I created a Twitter account, a yahoo pulse, a Gravatar, Facebook Alton Ray Travis–FB won’t allow periods or I would make it A. R. Travis. I also updated an old MySpace account that needs lots of work. I’ll probably make a LiveJournal and Xanga blogs, and others, connecting them all together creating a vast matrix.


I hope someday to have a Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Lulu, Apple, and Border links sprinkled throughout my platform.
