Why newspapers should manage more like Twitter and less like GM
Posted by Mike Wells on February 16, 2009
I sure wish the folks managing big newspapers had read this before they started mass layoffs last year. Reinvention, not reduction. Hmm… Novel concept, huh?

Poynter article spikes my pageviews
Posted by Mike Wells on January 8, 2009
Mega hits for WellsWritten.com!
An article linking to this site was posted on Tuesday at Poynter.org and the result was astounding (at least to me). In about 48 hours, my site experienced more than 2,700 page views. The welcome page alone saw more than 700 individual hits. That means most of the visitors went beyond the home page to explore the site, look over my resume and check out some of my work.
It’s all due to Judy Stark, formerly of the St. Petersburg Times, who wrote up a great set of tips for newspaper journalists who expect the layoff ax to fall. Thanks Judy!
UPDATE: Today (01/12/09), my site’s hits reached 3,369 for the month. I’ll stop counting now, but it was fun to watch the stats rise.

Nearly there
Posted by Mike Wells on July 30, 2008
Over the last few weeks, I’ve tweaked this site’s design and increased its content. So far, the results satisfy me. This site is the starting point in my plan to make Wells Written a recognized brand.
My clips and resume are now available for download in Microsoft Word format. The next step is to upload some video and audio content, followed by samples of my photography.
I also plan to add links to my favorite news and writing websites to make WellsWritten.com useful to visitors.
