Hi, it’s Chris Unitt here. In what was rapidly becoming the worst-kept secret of modern times, Pete Ashton and I are taking on Created in Birmingham again.
It’s really good to be back.
Thanks for all the comments after Adrienne’s post, ‘Moving forwards’. We’ve taken some of those on board. There are likely to be a few tweaks and changes over the next few months – nothing too radical, but the site needs to evolve a bit if it’s to sustain itself and stay relevant.
On a related note, we’ve got a couple of new things:
- A Facebook Page
- A forthcoming weekly newsletter
Please do sign up if you’re interested in either.
However, the most important thing is CiB isn’t about whoever’s running it – it’s about all the fantastic and fascinating stuff happening in Birmingham. Which means I need to get on with writing some blog posts.
Nice nice! :)
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
Great stuff!
welcome back!
Welcome back guys, and well done to everyone else who’s been involved over the last few months for taking things in different directions and provoking conversation.
Woo! Welcome home boys :)
Yeah! CiB feels like a warm hug again!
Wellcome back!
woo hoo!
This is relevant to my interests
… and welcome back!
Have been missing the variety that CiB used to have.
Welcome back Pete and Chris, Ashton and Unitt! I’m delighted to see you guys back and yes, a big thanks to Kate and Adrienne for moving the blog forward in different directions to see what it was we wanted.
Of course the terrain has changed a lot since CiB first got off the ground – not least in the number blogs that creative a nd other cultural organisations now have: and of course there is the mighty Twitter now…
But to my mind that does not mean that the need for a “entrepot” site like Created in Birmingham – and y’know, I always thought that both Unitt and Ashton were delightful guides as they negotiated the maze that is the cultural scene in Birmingham and beyond.
So welcome back – not so wide-eyed and naieve as once you were, but with a clear sighted commitment to curating all things Created in Birmingham (well maybe not all, but you get my drift). To paraphrase a song by a now disgraced rock star – Hello, Hello, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back. Hello….. (etc etc).
Coo-ee :)
