So Long, It’s Been Good to Know You
Friends,
It is with a heavy yet satisfied heart that I announce my resignation from HTMLGiant. I have enjoyed just over two wonderful years (roughly equivalent, in internet time, to a decade and a half) as a contributor to this blog. It has been a privilege and a thrill to be part of this site since its inception. Endless thanks are due to Blake Butler and Gene Morgan, for inviting me to join up in the first place, and for all the good times since. A hearty cheers as well to the other contributors here (past and present) and to our legion of commenters and readers. It has been a lot of fun to talk and debate with you (most of you, at any rate) and I’m sure we’ll still be seeing plenty of one another around the web, and maybe in meatspace too. Now, before things get too sentimental, here’s Woody Guthrie to play us out.
Damn, I guess we won’t have Justin Taylor to kick around anymore.
Hats off to you.
I too found my way here because of your nod to HTMLGiant in the back of Everything here is the best thing ever. Glad I found it (your book and the site), good luck, and I look forward to reading your novel.
the reason i ever got into htmlgiant in the first place is because i was teaching a creative writing class to high schoolers in oakland and i came across jt’s posts about his creative writing class while trawling the internets for outre ideas
it did not take long for me to get hooked to this whole crazy internet magazine blog of the future deal
happy trails (sounds corny! but i mean it!) justin
BYE BYE!
Finally reading Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever. Good S.
you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave..
Well, that sucks. It was the election, wasn’t it? WASN’T IT? Finally drove you over the edge…:)
Bye and good luck with whatever’s next, Justin.
Hope you’ll still hang, Justin. Thanks for all of the great posts, informative and inspirational, brother.
i found this blog because of Everything Here like amber im assuming the election drove you to the bottle and not the blog cant wait to read the novel when it comes out
We’ll always have meatspace.

Thanks, guys. And yes, it was the election that changed everything- I’m proud to say that I am going to be Rand Paul’s Chief of Staff.
You were always a force to be reckoned with, Justin. Your work here has always been impressive and I often wondered how you had the time to do it for free. Or did Gene have you on some kind of secret minimum wage plan?
good work, bud, and good luck with whatever’s next!

I disapprove of this post and this decision. Strongly.
Thanks for all the fantastic posts, Justin.
Stomp on my neck.
The end of an era. Damn. Feel like one of my favorite bands is losing a founding member, or a buddy is graduating early from college and getting a job in another state.
At least we’ll still have Brooklyn.
Sad, but no doubt I’ll see you in meatspace. Thanks for all you’ve poured into the Giant house.
Ciao and thanks for the good stuff. Particular thanks for the Zach German review, it made an impression.
now who is going to upset the tao lin groupies
Welcome to Kentucky!
Ditto.
I wonder about this end of an era thing and what it means. What does it meeeean, man?
damn dude
Sorry to see you go JT.
no!
Aw. That’s too bad. I always enjoyed your posts.
Aw man.
