I have reluctantly decided to sell my pride and joy, Upstart Blogger. My life is moving in other directions and I’ve become so consumed by other projects that I haven’t had the time to design any new themes. I want to find someone who can take over the site, support my themes, and build on what I’ve created.
Update: The auction ended without meeting my reserve price, so I’m keeping the site until I can find a buyer. In the meantime, I’m looking for contributors who want to piggyback on my traffic. See Writers and Web Designers Wanted! for details.
My dream buyer would be an Upstart Blogger who is also a web designer. The site has produced a solid income over the past year and offers an excellent opportunity for the right person—an avid blogger or theme developer—to make a substantial income from an established following.
For more details, visit my auction listing on SitePoint.
I’ll miss Upstart Blogger and my many visitors. It’s given me great pleasure to correspond with some fine people and to see my themes in use on sites from around the world. I want to thank everyone for their support and extend the hope that we won’t lose touch with each other. I won’t be disappearing from the web. And I may design themes in the future.
My main home on the web in the future will be Futurosity. Please subscribe to Futurosity so we can stay connected.

Aw, man. Well, I hope you score, Robert. And I guess I’ll be subscribing to Futurosity. :)
Sad to see it go indeed. Best of luck with the sale and continued success in Futurosity!
Thanks very much for the comments, guys. But care to make a bid? Both of you are perfect to take it over!
Unfortunately, I am also too spread out with other projects and a newborn to continue the direction of the site.
Too bad, Will. I’d love to turn it over to someone like you. But thanks very much for the mention on your blog!
i mean this the positive way: hope you don´t find anyone. would be too bad…
I’m genuinely sorry that you’re moving on but best wishes for Futurosity. (Your Wordpress templates were a delight).
