Today I finalized the sale of Blogging Pro to Jacob Gower. Jacob also owns cssvault.com and blogcatalog.com and has a personal blog here.
I had quite a few bidders but with Jacob I could see the sincerity and excitement in his emails, and even though he was not the highest bidder I felt he would best take care of Blogging Pro.
I will continue posting through the transition period which ends July 5th, 2005. I think Jacob will add more dimension to Blogging Pro and will build upon what I’ve started.
I love WordPress and the WordPress community and will continue to be involved and promote it any way I can.
