Facebook as well?

I'm back from Italy and apparently finally at long last rid of the awful cough that went everywhere with me. But I managed to enjoy myself a lot nonetheless. So now we all have to decide what exaftly we want to do with this blog-site. I'm quite inclined to set up a Facebook Group called WRÏTERS BLOG or QUEENSLAND WRITERS in conjunction with this site to see if we can coax one another into a little more interaction. Facebook would be a slightly less exposed way of being online but on the other hand likely to miss some of the random hits that bring people to a blog when just googling away from some remote part of the world. Of course with Facebook we can create interest links which will generate more activity, and with quicker response times too. So .. do we have views on this? And if anyone is interested in meeting up soonish let me know. Xmas is looming of course and already our collective dance cards are jostling with invitations. ciao ciao mes amis, Barbara

I think it may be worth experimenting with setting up a Facebook group to stay in touch. Though I do like having our blogs connected as they currently are. Now I have finally set up a reader it should be easier to keep up with what everyone is posting.

I have been playing around with Facebook over the last few weeks and using a tool like NetworkedBlogs to promote my 2 blogs. It has been interesting to discover a huge range of blogs this way. Setting up something like this for the group blog may mean more exposure - I will let other's decide if that is a good idea.

Also have you thought about sharing the load for this blog Barbara?

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a wonderful New Years.

Hi Allison I'm happy to try all sorts of things and I like the idea of using NetworkedBlogs and other new tools, but I think the problem with our little group is that everyone is too busy to put much time into it so there isn't much activity to log. I'd also be very happy for any of us to post to this blog, but I don't want to put the username and password online for unwanted users to find. So far I've been trying to drum up a sense that the Writers Blog is useful enough to keep going. I think it should focus on issues of general interest to us as writers in Queensland so anyone wanting to write in that vein is very welcome to contribute. I'll see if I can find your email address and send the username and password to you, regards Barbara
