“Successful personal bloggers gain followers based on how they present themselves, and their readers stick around because of the close relationship that is established through those personal touches. On the other hand, building a staff of writers might be the only viable option to continue to grow and develop on the scale that is required once a personal blog reaches a certain level of success.
“For Joanna Goddard, hiring on more writers to A Cup of Jo was the necessary next step in order to expand and take on more projects related to the blog. ‘For the past seven years, I’ve written every post, which has been wonderful, but I started having bigger ideas for posts and series that I simply didn’t have time to pull off on my own,’ Goddard told Racked. “As your blog gets bigger, the workload naturally grows, too. You have more advertising meetings, you have more reader emails, you have more of everything. So it can get overwhelming for one person.’”

Yes, all the links are broken.
On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.
Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to
archive.rocketbomber.com.
I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the
Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.
As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 -
I'll see you back on the main site.
