The Society of American Travel Writers announced its Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism awards over the weekend at its annual convention down in Guadalajara, Mexico. Southern Living magazine’s “Tales From the Road” blog garnered the Bronze in the travel blog category.

When I was a lowly “Web-tern” at SouthernLiving.com, I helped the editorial team get the blog off the ground, and even contributed some posts here and there.

Kudos to SL!

An End to the Winter of Solitude…

I had a moment this morning to catch my breath, and realized I’d neglected my personal Web site for more than 3 months. As is always the case, it’s not that I haven’t been busy professionally, but rather the opposite. So here’s what I’ve been up to…

  • Optimizing 100+ Web sites.
  • Attending Podcamp Nashville!
  • Editing the forthcoming editions of two annual magazines.

But, as always, I aim to post here a bit more regularly. Stay tuned…

The convention is in November and preliminary information can be found here. More to come soon…
