I think that would be a great idea. I don't have the first clue about starting a blog.

This is a wonderful idea Gary. I would have loved something like that the first time I was starting a blog.

I would be very happy to get advice in that area. I have struggled with my blog from time to time.

I'd love to participate but would have to fight with my sister as to who will get the computer lol.

She had some great ideas about creating a guide to seo and a few other blog related things like hosting, platforms etc etc

Ok, I didn't want to rush form the one thing to the other... but I just threw it in as we might run out of time.

I'd sign up for it if it were marked CEC... personally... I streamline my emails a lot!

Yeah, everyone one is at different places. So by getting together we could all ask each other questions. In theory that would help us all individually, but it would also help us all collectively as a group. (and if its anything like these discussions, it would also just be a lot of fun!)

I am not at the office today (Victoria is in NYC tonight), so I don't have to rush off like normal. But I know a lot of you have had long days so if we squeeze it all in in by 8, then everyone is good!

Or if you're purchasing off a registry/wish list, automatic free shipping...

Could you make it more structured? Maybe have a few people that are leading the discussions almost come up with an agenda to cover each session. That way people know what's being discussed and might have questions prepared.

I was thinking of each week/month whatever there could be a post that covered an aspect of blogging and a few days after its published there could be a discussion that could work like an faq, so any points that people weren't sure about could be discussed (ScreamingViolet typing not Lovebuzz)

I'm confused about this. I didn't even know compensation was part of the equation.

It could be anything. I was just throwing a general idea out there. Of course we could structure it and take suggestions. We could have certain topics or themes per discussion.

I have no idea still. I'll absolutely love compensation but... what is a fair amount? What is the general guideline?
