The New Owner Of Webpuffs.com
I really want to hand my blog over to the new owner with ease. I want my readers to feel like I never left. From ministry experience I believe when there is a transition of leadership, it is always better for the new leader to always come from the inside and not the outside. When I took my current job, I came from out of state. There was a team of 20-30 volunteers. The former leader moved out of state and never raised up a leader under them. If the former leader would have raised up a leader under them, the new leader would have known the way things were before. The new leader would have even known the volunteers well. The new leader would already be adapted to the areas culture. But it didn’t go down like that. Me, the new leader, comes in doesn’t know a single one of the volunteers. I had no clue what the culture was like since I was from a different region. I also had no clue what the volunteers were used to doing in the past. I was literally handed the keys and told to get ‘er done. I had to work hard to gain the trust of each of my volunteers. I also had to learn what my volunteers did in the past to understand how they thought. I also had to learn what the culture was like. It would have been a lot easier for me if I was brought on under the last leader.
I would like to give the new owner of Webpuffs.com a little bit better of an intro than I was given as I started my new job a little over two years ago. The new owner of Webpuffs.com is Jeff Schollaart, my brother-in-law.
Here’s a little bit of Jeff’s background so you can get an idea of who he is and what direction this blog will probably go in. Jeff, in my opinion is a programming guru. He does a lot of hand coding. Most of the time he rattles stuff off to me and I’m thinking, “What in the world are you talking about?”. I wish I had half of Jeff’s knowledge. Jeff has built quite a few database driven websites. He is currently being contracted by two different places to devise elaborate data-driven sites that cater to their specific needs. Although he has taken college courses on computer programming and more, most of his skill is self-taught stemming from his love of the field. My intro doesn’t give it justice, but you will soon experience his wealth of knowledge first hand.
This is how the blog transfer will happen. Right now I’m working on transferring my domain over to Jeff, and then we will go from there. I will be communicating with Jeff throughout the transition as well as commenting here and there on the blog.
Thanks,
Jon
