Nick Reviews: Now With 100% Less “WordPress” In The URL!

Well, I finally bit the bullet and spent 25 bucks on a domain!  Honestly, my funds are running a little low right now, but the lack of “.wordpress” in the URL makes it a lot simpler to tell people about my blog.  It also gives an air of “professionalism” to it as well, at least to me (ignore the fact that I’m using a default wordpress theme that probably many others are using.  It’s the content that matters…at least for now).

With this air of professionalism and official…ness surrounding the blog, things are about to get a lot more serious here at Nick Reviews.  I’ve actually put money into this project now, and I want to succeed.  I finally feel driven; I could see myself doing this as a career, really.  And one of the coolest things about popular blogs or music sites is the fact that they get to do a lot of awesome stuff – like hear albums before they’re released (or even leaked) and get interviews with the artists.  I would love to be able to work my way up to that level.  And to be completely honest, it wouldn’t be for the popularity or an ego boost (although those things are certainly nice).  Simply speaking, it would make me happy to get to interview artists I enjoy, or review their albums for the public.  Nick Reviews has been and always will be about recommending cool things to people, showing people new things – and I will never review or write about something on this blog that I don’t enjoy, or I that I expected to enjoy.  There will be negative reviews and write-ups, yes – but they will be reviews of artists I had enjoyed in the past.

I have a loose schedule for the next few months, and I’m really excited to bring new content to you guys on a consistent basis.  There’s a real preparation for the future of this site, and I have high hopes for it.  On tap for the next few months: weekly (for real this time) Nicklists, and weekly or monthly Records of the Week (Or Month).  I’ll also be delivering almost weekly movie and music reviews starting in a few weeks, and there will be some reviews of all media (I even have a video game review planned!) scattered in between these weekly posts.

In addition, I hope to do some pieces that focus more on music as a whole that even feature some of my friend’s opinions on the subject.

I hope those of you reading this are going to at least give the site a try for a while to see what you think.  If you like what you read, bookmark it or subscribe to the RSS feed (and most of all, share it with your friends).  And remember, comments are always appreciated!
