BMWK Update

What’s up BMWK family? It’s been a while since Ronnie or I have talked directly to you to tell you about what’s going on with the site and our other offshoot projects. Well here’s a quick rundown as we get close to the end of 2009.

• Our documentary Happily Ever After is a constant on Amazon.com’s bestseller list for African American documentaries and has peaked as high as #3  on their overall AA films list. We just completed a four city tour of the film and now are scheduling smaller screenings with local churches, marriage organizations and groups across the U.S. so stay posted because we may be coming to a town near you real soon. If you haven’t gotten your copy yet what are you waiting for? Click here.
• We’ll be redesigning the site again real soon. It’s about that time to launch BMWK ver 3.0. As we constantly try to evolve the site and keep it fresh we’ll be using a new layout that will hopefully increase your ease of use and make it easier for you read all of the new content we’ll be adding.
• BMWK is looking for additional writers. If you have any interest drop us a line at info [at] blackandmarriedwithkids.com and we’ll give you the details. As we head into 2010 we want to make another leap in the amount of content we offer. When we first started off we were 1 post per day. Then we brought on a few great contributors and moved up to 3-4 per day now we’re ready for the next step. We want to become the Huffington Post of black marriage and we’re looking for people that want to be involved.
• BMWK is turning 2 next week! It seems like an eternity but it’s only been two years. In this two years it’s been an amazing journey that has catapulted the site into becoming the #1 Black Marriage and Parenting site on the web! We thank you for being a part of that success and for embracing the community here on the site.
• On that same note it’s time for some of the old heads from the early days to come on back. Kimh20s, Mrs. D, Constance, SingLikeSassy etc… do I have to keep naming names? LOL. You know who you are and we expect comments like the old days when we hit 2010. Jonesi this includes you the honeymoon is over, come on back now.
• Over these two years I’ve committed to bringing you more video content but that hasn’t actually happened yet on a regular basis but it will soon. We’ll also be starting back up with the “Featured Couples” segment we used to run that was very popular and some of this will be video based as well.
• We have two very big things on the horizon that we can’t share yet but just pray for us that everything comes through and I’m sure we’ll be making those announcements on the site within the next 2 months.

Thanks again for your support, your time and for truly making this a family that doesn’t just nit pick on each others comments and on the articles like a lot of blogs but that truly cares about the relationships and families that make up our community. Until next time…
