For many, blogging can be a lonely exercise ... at least at first. It takes time to learn the ropes -- figuring out which blogging system to use, how to promote your blog and how to grow an audience or community around your site.

So off I went into the blogosphere, searching for other blogs to read ... and I was disappointed to find hardly any Australian blogs. Well there was Darren Rowse's ProBlogger, but that was a whole different kettle of fish ... really I was looking for beginners like myself, or someone who could help out, answer questions and so on.

I am proud to be part of this group and look forward to watching this forum and community grow. So make sure you visit the blog ... and REGISTER for the forum. There is a wealth of great material already available. If only it was around a few years ago!
