This is basically because DietPixie currently has no editor. Our former editor, Holly, recently had a baby and understandably found the stresses and strains of juggling the demands of a full-time job, website and motherhood a little too much.
But don’t worry. We are currently in the process of looking for a new editor and the site should be back up and running soon.
Want to throw your hat into the ring? Well, that’s great. We really believe in DietPixie and we want it to be a success.
Just send me an email at david@hecklerspray.com and tell me why you would be a great editor or writer of Dietpixie and we’ll take it from there.
