It’s been just over a year and a half since I launched Zixpk.com. Since then, this website has gone through a number of changes. Originally, I launched Zixpk with the intention for it to become a gadget blog. Over time, our passion transitioned from gadgets to design. Since the beginning I have produced just about all the content on this site. It's a daunting task to do especially when you have to keep an eye on all the elements of our web page such as our hosting, advertising, answering emails that you guys send in, our forum, comment moderation, resizing wallpapers, making original posts, and on top of all of that I am still a student in high school, and I have a part time job. I’ve been holding off on making a big announcement regarding guest authors because I wanted to slowly transition into it but today I’m finally ready to announce the fact that Zixpk.com is ready to accept guest authors.
