When Triond Was a Baby
Do you know that Triond was originally Writing4Living? Find out about when Triond was a baby.
Not many Triond writers may know that Triond was not always Triond. Stanza Ltd, the company that owns Triond had a writing site called Writing4living which was launched in 2005. In mid 2006 Triond replaced Writing4living. If you search for Writing4living you will hardly find a trace of it on the net but thanks to Triond’s blogs and archive.org you can see what it used to look like.
The Transition from Writing4Living to Triond
The following photo and links speak about when Triond was about to launch and the transition from Writing4Living to Triond.

A Flashback to Writing4Living and a word about them
In this screenshot you can read the Writing4Living’s About Us Page where they state that they were founded by Stanza Ltd in 2005. That was one year before the advent of Triond.

Writing4Living’s “How it works” Page
On the “How it works” page is explained the procedure we have come to associate with Triond. You can see too that the share was 50% of earnings too.

Early Triond writing guidelines
In the early days of Triond, Triond issued some writing guidelines. Some of them run counter to common Triond writer practices, such as the advice about choosing a title.

To see what Triond looked like in its first year see the article See Triond The Way It Was in 2006! To get an idea of the Triond sites in the order they became accessible to Triond writers from 2006 onwards see Blast From The Past (Triond Sites’ History).
So that is all about when Triond was a baby with another name. Since the first screenshot says that Writing4Living’s writers stayed on and were a part of Triond, maybe Triond writers from 2006 can fill us in on what things were like in Writing4Living.
