This may come as a bit of a surprise, due to it's out of the blue nature, but I have decided to put MicrosoftBlog.com up for sale at SitePoint.

Did I sell my Microsoft stock? No! Do I not like Microsoft anymore? No! But, what I am trying to do is focus myself on the projects that I derive the most personal enjoyment from. I like this site, but I have more fun with other sites that I own, so I have decided that I could pass this one along, so that I could focus more time on them.

I have definitely enjoyed running this site and the relationships that I have cultivated through it (Nathan Weinberg of InsideMicrosoft, one of the best Microsoft bloggers there is, comes to mind) and there is a little bit of sadness, perhaps, but everything must come to an end, I guess.

I did want to let my readers know and say thank you for visiting and supporting MicrosoftBlog.com. I really appreciate it. And the site itself isn't going away. I'm hopeful that whoever I pass it to (assuming I pass it to anyone - it's not a given!) will want to see it grow and improve and I look forward to that. But, I wanted to let everyone know, even though there is a small chance it may not change hands, just to limit any surprise as much as I can.

Thank you for reading and for visiting MicrosoftBlog.com.

Sincerely,

Patrick
