Dear Readers: Change is coming for TravelSkills

Dear TravelSkills Readers: Sorry for the recent gap in our regular posting and email distribution, but we’ve been busy working on a big transition for the blog.

Starting this year, TravelSkills is moving over to a new platform and will be part of the SFGate/Hearst publishing empire. (See it here)

While this is a huge step for TravelSkills, readers should not notice much change. You’ll still get your TravelSkills email bulletins from us (although the cadence may vary). Sign up here if you don’t subscribe already.

And when you click on the links in posts or emails like this one, you’ll now be taken to a page on SFGate.com.

The blog archive– where you can always go to read our latest posts will now live here: TravelSkills with Chris McGinnis on SFGate Please save that URL in your browser menu or bookmarks for easy access to our content.

Our social feeds will remain the same– follow us if you don’t already to get the news as it happens:

Facebook    Twitter    LinkedIn    Flipboard   RSS    Instagram

Our old content will remain here on TravelSkills.com, so you can always return and search for stories you’d like to read or reference again.

As with any big change, we’ll hit a few bumps along the way and we expect to get plenty of feedback. Please stick with us during the transition! That’s how we will learn to make TravelSkills even better and more relevant in the coming year. We welcome your comments and feedback– either here on the post, or directly to me chris@travelskills.com.

With a new platform comes a MUCH larger audience- content will be distributed throughout Hearst outlets, so you’ll notice that comments will be a mixed bag of the usual excellent, helpful and on-point stuff combined with a few crazies– ignore them, please…or enjoy them 😉

With that said, here’s what you’ve been looking for– below are our posts from the last two weeks for your enjoyment and enrichment!

Bear with us as we repeat this message 3-4 times in coming weeks to be sure we get everyone on board.

Stay tuned… there’s much more to come. We’re pleased to have you along for the ride!

Sincerely,

Chris McGinnis, Founder, TravelSkills
