Here's something that FMF fans might be interested in...

As many of you know, I have started a new website. On that site, I post more in-depth articles. They are longer than what was usually posted on FMF and generally much more detailed. I like the format as it makes the pieces more thoughtful IMO.

That said, I do miss a few things about the "here's a quick quote and my top three thoughts" sort of posts that were the majority of what was on FMF. And as I'm looking at posts and ideas for the new site, I'm finding more and more articles that I simply want to make a quick comment on -- not write an entire piece about. I'm also seeing other articles that I'd just like to point to and say "check this out -- I liked it." But neither of these sorts of posts will work on the new site.

It seems that every time I think I've reached everyone who wants to be notified of my new site, another 100 people or so seem to show up asking for access.

So my plan is to keep posting here every couple of weeks or so until no one asks for the site's address.

If you want an email sent to you with my new site listed, simply leave a comment below like "please send me the URL to your new site". Include your email address in the email box when you leave your comment. I will get both the message and the email address, but no one else will be able to see the email address (no one wants their email to be public, right?)

As a reminder why I'm sending emails instead of simply announcing the new site, you can see my reasons here.

Just wanted to let you know that I have launched my new site and have sent out emails to all those who requested them.

If you did not receive an email but wanted one, please drop me a note and I'll try again. You may want to check your spam folder too.

Note, there were a couple that had spam protection levels where I needed to verify myself to send an email to a particular address. I'm not going to do that.

Hope you all are having a great New Year!

Just wanted to give you all an update on the new site.

Things are progressing at a good pace. I have selected a designer and given her my guidelines, logo design has started, and I've written the first few articles. They will be pretty standard "launch" posts and very familiar to FMF readers.

My plan is to soft launch the site in late November, fill it with a post a week or so through the end of 2015, and then officially launch in the new year. This is when I would send emails to those of you requesting notification of the new site. So look for those in late December/early January.

If anyone else would like to be added to the announcement list, just email me.

Hope you all are doing well!
