Blogging About Blogging

I'm getting ready to talk about how blogging can transform your community. If you're in the Montreal area and have a green bill to spare, I invite you to participate in Montreal Shift this weekend.

To be honest, this is my first workshop of this sort and I'm a little nervous. While I've been blogging for a year and a half, I only took it seriously as part of a New Years resolution. I've been lucky enough to be in the presence of blogging giants who've been very encouraging and inspirational. I take pride in maintaining a consistent readership and having had some great discussions. I was initially reluctant to blog about food and tech, but when I get a comment like:

I am a programmer and enter to your site to read about zend… and finish commenting on the cuisine.
Delicious . I see there any patterns? (thanks Valugi!)

I realize that developers like to eat food too.

I've also managed to start a small business that's been accredited and has produced web video for all the major festivals in Montreal. We were even the Montreal Jazz Festival's official podcaster when people didn't know what that was!

Like a film critic who may know nothing about making movies, I've been around the web long enough to know what works and what doesn't, and if you can stand my voice and my french grammar slips, I invite you to come!
