OMG you guys - I am SLoving SLife. There is just so much good stuff going on. I am going to tell you about two of those things today. (There is party info for the second one so be sure to read that!)
First, I am now the Events Director of the SL Blogger Group. I am really looking forward to this new responsibility. In September, I'll take over the day-to-day operations of the in-world group from Zoe.
When I first started blogging, almost the first thing I did after my first post was to join the SL Blogger group. I have come a long way since hiding shyly behind a plant at my first Blogger Meet-up Party. The only person I even sort of knew was the wonderful Looker Lumet.
I have met some incredible people and had some great fun at group activities. And more than once I have IMd the group in a blind panic because of technical issues with my blog. People were so helpful (even though every other IM was someone trying to be funny - bloggers love to be funny).
What are in my plans for the group?
- Coordinating Blogger Meet-Up Parties!!! - These are a group tradition! Held quarterly, they give everyone a chance to meet in person for some R&R. Watch this space and the SL Blogger NING Networking site for details about the first one! **Hosts are needed - IM or email me if you are interested in doing this!**
- Helping the group increase it visibility and membership numbers.
- Setting up an in-world group HQ office!! This will be a place for all of us to drop by, hang out, share information, etc.
- Supporting and promoting blogger activities and challenges - like the Blogger Mix & Match that Vint Falken and ArminasX Saiman organized last year.
- Planning for an SL Blogger convention.
- Helping the group be an even stronger source of tips, advice and support for one another.
