So last week I decided to get from behind my computer and meet some real people in Atlanta doing the same things I was doing.

How did it turn out?

Well it was pretty interesting connecting with a new group of people and trying to fit in when it seems like they’ve all been meeting together for a while. I wasn’t the only new newbie to be sacrificed at tha altar, there were also a few others who were welcomed into the fold.

There was of course brief discusions between everyone, finding out what they were doing and then there was a quick presentation on building your blog readership by David of Tutorial9 fame. The presentation was life altering or anything, but it went over some of the blogging basics that we sometimes overlook.

Blogging Tips David Covered Were:

• Being Consistent in Your Blogging
• Focusing on The Quality of Your Posts
• Making Your Content Appealing to Your Audience

Sometimes in trying to keep up with all the latest tips and tricks, twitter, facebook, on and on and on, we tend to forget that providing valuable content for your audience is often the most important thing you can do to market your blog and website.

All in all it was good meeting some new folks and I definitely plan to make the monthly meetings so I don’t get warped and start blending in to the walls at home.

Other cool bloggers I met were Redd, Chuck and Go Green In Style, check em out.

Do you find yourself feeling claustraphobic working from home as well? What’s some of the ways you’ve been coping with it? Lemmi know.

Thanks,
