We’ve been behind a bit recently, and it’s my job as Editor in Chief to tell you guys exactly what’s going on with us and why it seems like there have been issues. We got hacked. Plain and simple. The hack was to our server I was told, and exploited a frame of our site to try to redirect them to theirs. It’s an unfortunate thing and we’re all pretty upset about it, but life goes on. I would like to take a second to thank Al Kirby of ProRank Studios/OMTC and Ryan Shremp our technical support technician. These two guys worked tirelessly the last week trying to make sure that YPA Press continued to live on tamper free.
In that theme we’ve got a few new things up on YPA that I want to tell everyone about. Joining us for her first column last week was Erin Anding. Erin has been on staff with YPA from the get go, advising all of us what to wear, how to dress professionally, and even cut some of staff’s hair. For some of you who don’t know me personally, I’m a bit of a rebel as far as dress code, but Erin helped me find a clever medium between punk and business. Now she’s here sharing the same expertise she gets paid top dollar for, for free. So check in often, as she’ll be posting her own thoughts and articles from around the world of fashion, hair and entertainment. Making YPA Press your one stop show for all things chic.
Also joining us this month is Chef Dave Pharo. Chef Dave as he likes to be called, is Executive Chef at one of Florida’s top steak houses, Mark’s Prime. He also has traveled around the country, experiencing more than his fair share of both heartache and triumph in his journey towards success. Chef Dave has decided to take all of that time well spent and give us some of his amazing recipes, as well as story to go along with it. Make It With Chef Dave will be a weekly feature I hope you guys start to look forward to, I know I do, mainly because I actually get to eat Chef Dave’s food before his article goes to press.
Just when you thought that was all, we’re dropping a new staff writer as well. Jesseca Bagherpour is a up and coming journalist with a sharp wit and a ferocity for a story that makes the rest of us look tame. We’re excited to have Jesseca out in the trenches digging up the dirt on those who claim themselves lily white.
We’re excited to see the direction YPA Press has taken and all your interest in it. This site doesn’t work without you. That’s why I’m inviting everyone to register for YPA Press. With every user registration you’ll receive posting priveledges on YPA Press, and your name for the week as a contributor when your article gets placed that week. This site is not just ours, it’s yours and we invite you to come share your opinions with all of us.
Thank you,
Justin Newman
Editor in Chief
