This evening, I have not one, but two blogging events to attend!
The first is a launch/demo of our Let’s Blog Click06blog the conf blog. Nineteen librarians are coming along to learn about conference blogging, and we want to show them our blog which we hope will serve as a safe space for those who haven’t blogged before to dip their toes (or should that be fingers?) into the blogosphere. We’d like to record our impressions of the conference for those who can’t make it.
I was just thinking about how sirexkat and I have been working on the blog the conf blog together – giving our own time (and our own money! we paid for the server space and domain name), at 9pm every night, on the weekends, thinking, planning and writing – and how amazing it is that this ‘extracurricular’ project is engaging me so much. All this fervour, interest, enthusiasm – I must be a blog evangelist after all.
The second event is the monthly Perth bloggers meetup. I hope I won’t be completely drained by the end of the first event, which goes from 6pm to 8pm, but I hope to pop in to say hello to everyone who’s there when the launch is done.
All this blogging – I’m going to bed every night quite exhausted – who’d have thought blogging could be so exerting?

Who would have thought we’d learn so much about other people from blogging? (And from other people about blogging!!!)
I think you’re missing a tag. I want to see “not one but two” added, as I think you’ve had more than one or two of these types of posts.
Here, here (or hear, hear?)
Spent sooo much time(going to bed at midnight every night!!), reading so much, learning so much!
About 6 months ago I hadn’t even heard of WordPress! (might have even be 4 months ago!)
Oh, and I’m excited to report I have earned enough with adsense to cover my hosting costs! (but I don’t get payed out till I reach 100, so that will be a while, ha ha).
Anyway, good luck tonight, and hopefully see you afterwards!!
Hey CW, Good luck with the launch, I hope it all goes well and people take up the offer of having somewhere to blog about the conference. Hope to catch up with you (and Simone!) at meet up. 🙂
Sirexkat: that’s an idea. I wonder what project I’m going to embark on next that involves not one, but two manifestations… 🙂
Hi Simone, good to see you last night – I’m sorry we didn’t get to catch up much. I actually wanted to ask you something (might email you)..
Hey Dee, good to see you too! Do you still want to check out Vox?
Oh, I’m curious now..! Yes, email me! (enjoyperth at gmail dot com)
There’s to many people to speak to at these meets! It’ll be a long time before I’m bored of them, with all the different people coming each time too, it’s great!
Though I have the same thing as you, beforehand lots of things I want to ask people, and then on the night I forget half of it! lol!
Right, back to work, last day before two weeks holiday!
