I'm with Kelly - we should try to make a decision soon so everyone can start thinking about what they want to write. My preference would be for "what i wish i knew before starting..." "A day in the life of..." would be my second choice. Perhaps we can decide the next three or four themes so we don't have to thrash this out every month.

And are we aiming for the the second Tuesday of the month? If so, that would be September 14.

Are we going to do another one of these next week? If so, let's pick a topic so I can get an early start on procrastinating!

Poll sounds good to me. I could write a polling program, but if you'd rather use poll-daddy then that saves me some effort :)

If once a month I say it should be the first Tuesday.

If Twice, the first and third Tuesday.

Ok. I say that since the third Tuesday is just around the corner, we hold off until the first Tues. of Sept. (which is Sept. 7). If we want to go twice a month, we can start in Sept.

Now go vote for topics! I'll put a blog post this afternoon to solicit reader participation too :)

I also prefer once a month.

Like it!!

How about even finding a famous interview, I dunno, somewhere in Time magazine or something, and we take turns interviewing one another. The interviewer gets to write it up.

OK, I know that sounds a bit kind of campy and self-indulgent, but bear with me...

Firstly, each of us has a style so we get to read an interview written up in that style. I would enjoy that and I could learn a lot by seeing how other people handle situations differently to me. Also, I would be pissed if someone interviewed someone and it was too frivolous or somesuch, and I missed out on my chance to find something out about the pseud behind/ahead of the blogger :)

Oh oh oh!!! Wait, wait wait!!

You could choose to interview the Avatar (Tideliar) or the RL person writing as Tideliar...unless I'm the only that projects through my avatar...or do I. AAARGH CIRCULAR REASONING!!!

I like the interview idea. It'd be a great way to get to know each other better and for our readers to learn more about us. There are some great ideas about how to do it. I wonder if it might be better to do this sort of thing in a round robin fashion, where there's maybe a post a week, instead of posting all within 24 hours. Perhaps someone (Geeka? Evie? Tiddles?) might like to take the reins on this one and set up a new thread.

So what's our next topic?
