What's This Website About?

It shouldn't come to a surprise that I used to blog when I was 16, and that blog given another 8 years was made into a book (it's The Sandboarding Book if you weren't sure). I set up this website for my business, Pomerak Ventures; a company that I set up to manage my book & music publishing adventures but given that this app is so user friendly, and actively encourages you to blog on a frequent basis; you could argue that this website is more a personal blog. I'm writing this now thinking that you've got a point, it was intended to be a website of my works and official business but since I'm the only person involved with the daily running of the company, I might as well blog too because if I set up a site strictly for the business and have 2 blogs, the unfortunate consequence will follow that one blog will be neglected.
