Readers,
Unfortunately, economic realities have slapped me in the face and made me realize that this website is no longer viable.
I need to find a position that pays me on a regular basis. I can't work full days and earn $2.20 an hour, and have intermittent checks. It just doesn't work for me.
I've tried to make it work. I've partnered with Cincinnati.com. I've sold ads.
Still, I haven't been able to make ends meet. It's likely time to move on.
The only way I can continue is for someone to step up and sponsor the site and pay me a reasonable salary.
Failing that, please consider this website my online portfolio. I'm entertaining any job ideas, especially work related to writing.
I will wish myself luck....

Best of luck to you. BC is the best development news site in the tristate. I hear Cincy magazine is hiring. They could use you!
Good luck with everything Kevin...it's been great following your posts!!!
Best of luck Kevin, this site has been wonderful and regular 'must read'. Here's to hoping you pull another Brett Favre.
You've been a tremendous source of information for the community. The loss of this site would be a great loss, but given your situation I think most will understand. Good luck in all your future endeavors.
Good luck Kevin. I consider this to be the best local blog, and of tremendous value to the community. Someone should pick it up.
Can you scale back and post only once a day? Most bloggers-- here and elsewhere-- have day jobs and do their blogs on the side. Find a day job and then write in your spare time?
You know, of course, that I wish you the best and if you need anything, I'm there.
I'm so sorry to hear this news but it's completely understandable. I'll miss all of the positive incite this website provided but just the same best wishes for a successful writing career!
Come on dude, you really thought you could make a living posting blogs? Really? Like someone else commented, most bloggers actually have real jobs too...sounds like you might just be lazy.
Unfortunately, nobody wants constructive news.
Have you considered a "BC babe of the week"? Maybe pics of construction accidents?
Hope you can keep the site for awhile even if you have to give up contributing. As so many of the projects you have written about are in progress, what you have posted will still be relevant for some months.
Maybe you can get a slot at the Beacon?
Since you're into writing, maybe you could turn your attentions into writing a book?
This blog is a great read.
I saw your tweet regarding using this as an online portfolio. Certainly, use the contacts you've made through this blog as leverage. Good luck, we are all rooting for you!
How much money are you short?
Kevin, break a leg, it sucks to see BC go. Hopefully once you've stabilized your life you can throw a blog post up once in awhile to feed our BC fix?
Thanks for what you've done...the things we take for granted. Will miss this page.
Godspeed, Kevin.
Sad to see such a good thing die.
BTW - the CincinnatiBlog people have figured out how to put ads in Google Reader. Maybe if you could do that, your ad revenue would jump. I have to think the majority of your followers are not simply going to buildingcincinnati.com on occasion, but have you on a feed.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is the only REAL news source I have for Cincy. Thank you for all of your hard work and best of luck on your next ventures.
Kevin,
Perhaps you could teach. Actually, I know you could teach. Writing and web design seem to come natural but I also deduce that you must work hard at it. I'd bet you cover all the bases to where any genre out there has been utilized in your head. My brother contracts out as a technical writer and he's never been out of work for long. I'm in the phone book.
Regards,
Kent Evans
Hope someone is smart enough to pick up this very valuable site. Good luck!
