Hi Carl, If you can possibly swing it, then you should look into attending Blog World Expo 2009 in Las Vegas October 15-17, 2009. It is hard to figure out what steps to make when you are trying to come to terms with blogging and social media and…

I’m seeking shelter from the streets

When British Barney lets me in

He offers to help with a cup of coffee.



I’ve made it here to the waters of birdland

I’m relieved to be back again

Hi Ric,

I recently found your blog on TBEX and I thought you might be interested in UpTake's new program called “Travel Gems” that features blog content from across the web on our site. It brings great blog content to a wider audience and helps bloggers like yourself increase traffic to their own blogs. I’d love to speak to you more about how this program works and see if you are interested in participating.
