I announced not long ago that I’d joined Examiner.com as the Honolulu Museums Examiner. I was pretty excited about it at the time, even though I realized it probably wouldn’t make me much money. It seemed like a good way to get more into the museum groove here in Honolulu.
Here I am, a month and a half later, busy up to my eyeballs (whatever that means) and unable to keep up with the writing and reviews I’d initially been very excited about. I’m also quite certain that I’m never going to make ANY money off it. So, I thought to myself, why not just ditch the Examiner.com thing (I don’t like their website anyway) and continue writing about museums at my own pace on my own blog? Bingo.
From now on I’ll be trying to write more about museums here – especially innovative public programs, outreach, interesting events, and things along those lines. I’ll also try to migrate my Examiner.com articles over here one at a time, since the company assured me that I have full rights to reprint them wherever I want.
P.S. On a related note, I changed my Twitter name to @EmilyAlbarillo. Now I’m just me.
