Great work Chuck I just friended you on twitter as tixrus. It points to my other blog -- maybe I should point twitter to my food blog what do you think?

Chuck, I think the project is going beautifully so far! I really like the idea of featuring more than one blog every two weeks. I don't know about others but I have time to read several blogs a day and there must be others that have that time, also. Naw, we don't want to be burned out but if we're reading blogs anyway.....

I'd like to say how much I appreciate your taking the time to RESPOND to each and every comment on your own blog. I think that makes a whale of a difference! G.
PS--Count me in on your Board, if you need an expert in self-improvement, writing, psychology...all I need is a big readership. :-)

I love the idea of giving a voice to this community. Would a blog be the best way to do that? I'd tried to do some of that on the forums, but I can see some possibility around a blog as well. Could you tell me more about what you are envisioning?

Yep, I'm using a Gravatar. It took me a while, but they're pretty useful.

I'm 100% with you. I will encourage everyone to give each of the blogs a fair shake and to follow AT LEAST one of the blogs but maybe all of them. This will be up to the individual, of course, but I'll make my case for it.

Thanks, Ginger! Again, another good vote for multiple blogs being featured.

That seems to be the consensus that more variety will be a good thing. Thanks for voicing your opinion, and thanks, too, for the kind words!

Thanks, Betsy. : ) I hope to get some involvement from the higher-ups, but if that doesn't work out, it's no big deal.

Thanks, Anya : ) We're on the same page. Some more blogs, but they will still be "featured." I'm going to guard against losing that aspect.

Re: Exciting News and Help Wanted

Chuck Westbrook — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:43:39 -0000

Totally agree. I'm going to try to keep the ratio of readers to featured blogs very very high. And you are welcome!

You've been added to that list and thanks for the point to the EoS blog. : )

Thanks, Kyle. I'm glad you're a part of it as well. I hope to get to work more closely with Brian someday. He's so darn busy that it's hard to break through and reach him.

Thanks, TJ. Z and Okt5 are great, and I too am glad to have found them both.

Thanks, WD. We'll see whether the ball does get rolling faster. At the moment, I think it could very well do that, or it could slow down as the excitement over the initial idea fades. I'm hoping for the former!

Thanks, Blake. I'm glad you're a part of it as well.

I'm not sure I fully understand the vision for a group blog, but I'm willing to listen. Shoot me your thoughts in an email?

Much appreciated, Aaron. I know that the design community is an exciting one from my perspective, and I hope to do a better job of reaching into that group here in the near future.

Thanks, Lizzard. Any recommendations you have, feel free to send them my way. As for critiquing Z's blog, I think that's an important part of the process but not the most important part of the process. Moving more quickly than two weeks at a time would be a nightmare for me to try to manage, but it would also be a bit of a short attention span.
