Greetings my fine friends out there in the readership audience. I’m here once more to take a pause from the usual course of business to celebrate a website birthday. Believe it or not, today marks the fourth anniversary of the Ken Pierce Media brand and while much of the past year has been a steady as they go operation, there have been some additional efforts that help keep this angle growing and becoming a larger and more important piece of the creative puzzle. Before I continue along, let me share something with the newer visitors to the site since they might not know about it only being created and launched back in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The lockdown and absence of pretty much all activity found me not only working in earnest on older site items for PiercingMetal and “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” but also looking to deliver some good content via another means. The initial goal was to generate some consultancy money by helping others with their own blogs and sites and the other side was to help grow the other two sites under my creative command. It began as a simple Blogspot, then subsumed our long-standing PiercingMetal Tumblr and finally became the WordPress site that you are now reading. Now you are all caught up and on we go. When I wrap this all up I’ll share a few of the topical articles about the whole thing for the interested. Let’s continue along shall we…

Celebrating My 16 Year Anniversary Achievement In WordPress

Before I begin I need to apologize about the lateness in bringing this bit of news to your attention. It wasn’t intentional and as I’ve often mentioned here on the Ken Pierce Media outlet, I love sharing any of the online anniversaries for the websites and even our social media platforms because its a great way to line out what makes this kind of pursuit tick and to celebrate any milestone achievements. Its a lot less self-aggrandizing than it is informational and with that being said onto the news. Back in September I got the notice from the WordPress Administration screen that I had just reached my 16th Anniversary Achievement on the platform. Ordinarily I would rush to share this kind of news but the publishing regimen was a bit chaotic across all brands with some major events being covered and written about along with assorted videos for the family of YouTube Channels. Historically, the delving into WordPress was to have a side blog that was connected to the original version of the PiercingMetal site and while we would call this “PiercingMetal Musings”, it is but a memory at this point in my creative history. Since then the entire original website has been reformatted into WordPress and now it just keeps getting larger in terms of the posts and images I’ve uploaded. Since starting in the HTML Side of publishing, its just amazing to see how much has changed thanks to something like WordPress. Let’s take a look at some standings as far as what the Admin panel of each website tallies up.

Ken Pierce Media Celebrates Its Third Anniversary (2020-2023)

Hello my friends, it’s once again time to take a pause from the usual course of business to celebrate a website birthday. I’m excited to share the news that today is the third anniversary of the Ken Pierce Media brand and a lot has happened with it over the last year so let’s chat. As many know, this idea was launched in June of 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic as a tool to help me with some web-consulting. I had hoped to use the lockdown time to offer up some help with other creators websites and their social media accounts for a modest stipend since there were no shows, conventions or special events of any kind to attend in real life. The idea first manifested as a Blogspot which is a super bare bones medium to use when one doesn’t want to lay down cash for a professional level website or branding. I think I also mentioned that I planned on using this as a place to learn how to take creator content off of such a medium and get it into a more powerful tool like WordPress. The Blogspot’s name led me to using it for the takeover of the PiercingMetal Tumblr and then a full on WordPress was launched which integrated all of that Tumblr stuff and we were off and running. The long-winded full story can be perused over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” by clicking HERE). Now before we get too deep into the goings on from the past year how about that awesome new Birthday logo from our own stalwart Art Director, Jumpin’ Joe Kaufman. Let’s continue.
