New and Fortified

Posted on September 1, 2008

Walkabout Jones doesn’t operate on the clock of a newspaper or magazine. Instead, we’re more like an old friend visiting, popping in every now and then. But that’s about to change.

Our editorial staff has recently doubled, with talented writer and traveler, Katrina Elder, thumbing a ride. In Katrina’s upcoming story, she’ll be taking us to Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Look for “Oops, My Bad” coming soon.

You might also notice a few new bells and whistles. We’ve added a “ShareThis” feature at the bottom of each story. This allows you to email our stories and pictures to family and friends, or post them to two dozen social networking sites. Most exciting is that we’re launching a Walkabout Jones community. We hope you’ll visit our digital coffeehouse, share art, travel stories, politics and culture. We want this to be a smart and passionate place for debate and discussion.

So you see, there’s a lot to do, which explains our disappearance from time to time. But with improved technology and a growing staff of contributors, we’re heading toward our goal of publishing five times a week. In our final form, Walkabout Jones won’t be another blog or magazine, but a gathering place—a portal—for everyone who dreams of a life worth living. Not only will you have a front row seat to our adventures, but you’ll be able to share your own journeys – epic or personal, book recommendations, photography, art, film and more.

Keep an eye out, we’ll keep it interesting.
