The Small Living Journal is Back
The Small Living Journal was originally the brain child of Stephanie Reiley, at Coming Unmoored. The idea was to bring together some of the key thinkers in the small house movement and co-blog on specific topics in a bi-weekly journal format. A few months ago we lost momentum… but now it’s back.
We’ve made a few minor changes including moving to a monthly publishing cycle. Michael Janzen of Tiny House Design is also acting as webmaster and project manager with the goal of keeping the quality of content high and focused on topics people want to read. The December issue is focused on Technology and Simple Living.
The next issue will be published on January 1st, 2010 and the topic will be entirely up to our readers. Michael has posted 14 potential topics in a survey. Please take a look and vote for the topic you’d like to see next.
