It&#8217;s not a joke, though yes, this is April 1.<\/p>\n<p>For the month of April, I&#8217;ve got a whole line up of posts ready to go. And none of them, not one, were written by me. I threw the doors open, invited 29 bloggers in, and for the next 29 days, you&#8217;ll read their posts &#8211; and, in some cases, see their photos or videos &#8212; here on Nerd&#8217;s Eye View.<\/p>\n<p>For one month I decided to tell my inner editor to shut the hell up and let other people just write, mostly. I figured, why not make it a potluck with some very limited guidelines &#8212; there needs to be a travel angle, it&#8217;s best if there&#8217;s a story in there. Sort of the editorially equivalent of &#8220;bring what you like, but no red meat, okay?&#8221; And yes, I have a very limited number of slots left, first come first serve. Details <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/2010\/03\/22\/april-is-guest-post-month\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s bound to be something here you&#8217;ll like, and maybe you&#8217;ll try something and think, &#8220;Meh, that&#8217;s not for me.&#8221; For the posts you like, I hope you&#8217;ll leave a comment saying so. For the posts you don&#8217;t like, I hope you&#8217;ll stick around because every day, it&#8217;s going to be something different.<\/p>\n<p>And for everyone that brought something to share, thank you! I don&#8217;t host a lot of gatherings, but once or twice a year I like to throw open the doors, start the grill, and have my friends, who are all over the planet &#8212; wow, really, there&#8217;s stuff here from everywhere! &#8212; get to know each other.<\/p>\n<p>And hey, a suggestion for you. Do you know about the Community Keynote at TBEX? If\u00a0 you didn&#8217;t get a guest spot here (or even if\u00a0 you did!) but still want a place to tell your great travel story, think about submitting your writing for TBEX 10.
