The End of One Day, The Beginning of Another

Coastlines & Tan Lines format will be changing – Hopefully for the best!
Coastlines & Tan Lines is 8 months and 150 posts old. Very young as far as serious blogs are concerned. Nevertheless, as with any well run business, it is always good to evaluate and re-evaluate. After spending two weeks in the Caribbean away from the daily operation of this blog I had some time to do just this with a clear mind. I analyzed the readership, what people seem to like about this blog and also asked for advice from people I respect.
The good news is Coastlines & Tan Lines will continue to be the fun lifestyle blog about life in the little latitudes. Just with a few format changes.
Starting this week the blog will switch almost exclusively to video. The videos that I have produced always get great viewership and generates a lot of interaction. Video is what separates this blog from other great island and lifestyle blogs such as Rumconnection.com, RumShopRyan.com and Zerotocrusing.com. All of which I read daily and have become great friends with. If you don’t read them you should check them out and give them a try.
Because video takes so much more time and effort vs. writing I expect to post only 1 to 2 videos per week. I also plan highlighting and linking to other great lifestyle sites that I follow. This is a great way to give some exposure to people I respect as well as introduce you, my reader/viewer, to more great voices.
I sincerely you hope you enjoy the change and that you will tell your friends about the fun things I’m doing here.
Thanks for following!

I look forward to the new format!
Thanks Wendy. Sounds like you had a great trip to Nevis!
Carl, you’re a professional at all you do. Your videos are not only entertaining but educational. Keep on doing what you love to do, in a format you enjoy doing!!!!
Cheers Jim, appreciate that a lot.
I hate you! You are “That GUY” that masters EVERYTHING you do! If we weren’t friends… we’d have to box!
I am glad that things are OK, as I’ve been a bit concerned at the lack of posts over the last few weeks!
I think that you make a great movie star, despite your innate talent for writing? Want to write for a newspaper or two…. or BigKahunabrew.com?
You are a natural at both, so I accept your new format with renewed excitement!
Looking forward to more great video man. Cheers to moving up!
Good luck! Your work is topnotch, so I’m looking forward to the new CL&TL in the new year.
