prototype book cover prior to 2011 History Press publication © Frank H. Jump
This was the first design I worked on before getting the publishing deal with the History Press, now bought by Arcadia Press. For the first nine years of the Fading Ad Blog, I posted obsessively daily and enjoyed a large following of over 500 visitors a day. The past year has been a rough one personally and I have posted more sporadically. I am also contemplating the future of blogging in general.
As this year draws to an end, I am self-reflective and open to suggestions from my audience and collaborators. The social media explosion has certainly impacted blogging and I have enjoyed my forays into Instagram and Twitter. But where do we go from here in an era of uncertainty where the Internet is about to undergo an overhaul by service providers with the end of Net Neutrality. So please feel free to express your opinions about the future of blogging, this blog and how you would like to see this project transform in the coming year. Thank you for all of your support and contributions from all of my guest featured contributors and followers. Happy New Year and keep looking up!
Sincerely yours,
Frank H. Jump
