Open House – Weekly Report 9

It’s always interesting when a neighbor has an open house.  I (not my wife at all) want to go and check it out.

This webpage has been sort of an experiment and I’ve been having a ton of fun doing it.  Months ago I met with John Saddington (Human3rror) to talk about this concept.  It has grown and changed over the last few months.  One of the opportunities that materialized was the chance to do a breakout with John about this page at The Orange Conference.  The topic of the breakout is blogging and we’re using this blog as a case study.  I knew absolutely nothing about blogging a few short months ago and John has been guiding me from day 1.  So, I thought it might be fun, if you like to follow this sort of thing, to give you an update on progress and thoughts on what I’ve learned each week until we do that breakout.  This is literally a “Blogging for Dummies” sort of situation.

So…If you’re one of those neighbors that wants to come to the open house just to see what is going on in the house and how much their asking…Welcome.

If you are considering a blog, I hope this, and the posts like this in the future are helpful.

Come on out to Orange and we can put a bow on this thing and talk about all we’ve learned.
