Dunno about you, blogging readers, but lately, I find myself with questions. How do I get advertisers? Should I try to go to that trade show? Can I really spin the little vanity that is Nerd’s Eye View into an income earning proposition? Why, if everybody knows who I am and wants me to write for them, is my site traffic so tiny? And do I use too much hyperbole? (Okay, okay, never mind that last one, or the hyperbole in the one before.) For a person with their head full of such questions, it is handy to live in a city full of people grappling with similar questions. And it is even better when they are social types who will share their information with you.<\/p>\n

My advice to you, if you’d like to know more about what goes on at these very freindly sorts of gatherings, is to have your own. Your local coffee shopped is pscyhed for you to bring a handful of people in to buy lattes, just ask them and they’ll even set aside a space for you – thanks SO much, C&P! And hey, if you’re in Seattle, come to our next one. Date, location, TBD, but you’ll hear about it, I promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
