Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy to Do
It’s been a wonderful two years around here. This blog’s most recent accomplishment, becoming a 2007 Bloggies finalist, was a completely unexpected and amazing surprise. I’ve also been able watch traffic triple since December 06:

I’ve had a great run with this site, but it’s time for me to give all my time and energy to other projects.
My last post here will be in the near future, possibly as soon as the first week of March. I will be starting conversations with potential buyers immediately.
The ideal purchaser of this site is someone with existing advertising contacts and/or agency connections for ad placement. At the present rate of growth, this site will be averaging 500,000 page views monthly by March; this sale is a perfect opportunity for someone to establish or extend a personal brand without having to start from scratch. This site’s domain name has been renewed through 2008. All software, script customization, images, posts, comments and site registrations are negotiable.
Interested parties should contact me here with any questions. I will respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.
If you have a blog, please link to this post to help spread the word that this site is for sale. The more people who know, the more attractive of a sale offer is possible. As my last post here draws closer, I’ll have more information for you on what’s next for DailyDoseofQueer.com.
Do you have a site for sale? Please also contact us and maybe we can combine the offers.
I’ll miss your blog. Now I won’t be able to leave comments that make people think we’re dating.
Fun run, and neat to see you score all these awards and nominations.

It’s been so fun knowing you and I hope you keep in touch!
Boo-hoo! :( But I’m sure there are great things ahead for you and for this site. Say, leave a forwarding address for your personal fans, will ya? ;)
[...] If you don’t already know, Daily Dose of Queer is for sale. I have decided that 3/5/07 will be my last day of posting on this site. As of right now, I can not tell you what will happen to this site after that, but I wanted to share this update. [...]
