About

Hi. Welcome to Healdsburg Magazine, a new media magazine dedicated to life and events (and everything local) in and around Healdsburg, California.

I’m Jennifer. I have been living in Healdsburg since 2001. I am a content developer, an information architect, and a usability designer. That is, I design and create information for online consumption. I’ve also recently started working with search engine optimization (organic rankings of course), creating content strategies–and when I can–creating websites themselves. And now, I’ve started this magazine.

I have been working in the telecommunications industry since 1991. I used to write the user manuals for communications networking equipment. I wrote about how to make a piece of equipment work by itself and to talk to other pieces of network equipment. Basically, I wrote about the equipment and the technology that makes your phone and internet services work.

In my spare time, I write and I blog. That’s just what I do. However, in this world of evolving technology, I also want to start using audio, video, mobile, and other forms of communication. I’ve been blogging at YukonJen.com since April 2005. Over the last few years, I’ve had a lot of questions from people about the area I live in–instead of the area I grew up in. I’ve started a few other websites too, but I’m now making this magazine site my new online home.

I’m starting this magazine to give a local perspective on everyday life in and around Healdsburg, California.

What questions do you have about our town?

What would you like me to investigate?

What do you want to experience?

What sort of things would you like information on?

[Contact me] and let me know what you’d like to know about the area. I’ll investigate and report back to you.

This site is a work-in-progress. So there will be quite a few changes until I can get it settled down.

Welcome. And please bear with me.

Jennifer
