At the begin­ning of Jan­u­ary the Aussie Blog­gers Forum was offi­cially launched, fol­lowed by the Aussie Blog­gers blog on the 21st. I read about the forums and wan­dered on over… and found a group of awe­some, inter­est­ing peo­ple of vary­ing lev­els of expe­ri­ence with blog­ging, talk­ing about every­thing from Word­Press plu­g­ins to mon­eti­sa­tion to get­ting inspi­ra­tion to what’s for din­ner! Some­how I got stuck, and have been there pretty much ever since. I do have a soft spot for forums. In a kind of “if you’re gonna hang around here all the time, you might as well do some­thing use­ful” deal, the forum admin­is­tra­tors have made me a mod­er­a­tor, although I have yet to wield my mighty new powers.

The forum is not just for Aus­tralians — any­one who is inter­ested in blog­ging at any level is wel­come to join. And there’s a really nice bunch of peo­ple over there.

Today, being Aus­tralia Day, the Aussie Blog­gers blog is fea­tur­ing an inter­view with Dar­ren Rowse, prob­a­bly Australia’s most famous ProBlog­ger. Check it out!
