Hi everyone... thanks 'Snos' for setting this up!

I'm here to blog and to offer any support I can. I'm a terrific nagger, so if you need cajoling let me know, I'm your gal.

Cheers!
Trish

Oh the pressure! Last month I had 29 posts - so nearly a post a day. Why is the thought of "having to" post daily scaring the c..p out of me! It's all in the mind hey?

Hi Karen,

it is written "no man is fit to be the keeper of another's conscience" (Mists of Avalon from memory) - I seem to be the only boy here, so I am happy to listen to the voice of the majority - does support team mean that we have to watch one another so that we keep up with the post-a-day thing or is this automated via RSS? If it were RSS this would worry me a little as it is not 100% reliable depending on how it is implemented.

So the short answer is "umm, I dunno" :)

Cheers, Andrew

It seems scary but remember - not every post has to be a novel. ;) I suggest you prepare a few photo posts for the days when you're blank, because they do happen from time to time. ;)

As far as watching one another I don't think it means that, I just think it means being a cheerleader for the other Aussies. ;)

Cheers,

Yes, that's precisely what I meant :) I was being cheeky, Andrew, but I do hope we all can gather in here and keep tabs, checkup on each other. And I'm sure there will be other blokes in here soon enough, too ;)

And yes, photos or quotes or YouTube videos are a MUST :)

Thanks Karen (and Snos),

happy to be part of the support team.

I might post a challenge to other Australian males - will resist the impish urge to write "Hey! You blokes! Want to meet lots of women bloggers?" linkbait stupidity - can have some class sometimes :)

Cheers, Andrew

Hi all,

Class....good, Andrew, I'm glad someone is taking care of that so that the rest of us can get on with being crass, irreverent, earthy or whatever other devil takes us ....LOL!

Whoops...someone had better keep an eye on me!

*Taking tongue out of cheek and waving a cheery hello to other Aussie bloggers*

Ah, happy to be here and looking forward to getting to know you all, and support/cheer/poke as required.

Hi Tracy,

it was more that I need to maintain some small sense of decorum rather than quoting any one of about a thousand lines that sprang into my head when I thought about how to address the gender imbalance :)

In other words, I had to try and think about being a bit diplomatic rather than sounding like a late night telephone chatline ad.

Welcome aboard :)

Cheers, Andrew

Hi everyone

Can't believe it's time for NaBloPoMo again... I hope there is another randomiser this year too!

Yay..go Aussies. I must have been half a sleep or very insane when I signed up for this. I have trouble posting a few times a week let a lone EVERY DAY.

I have had a look around, and most likely I'm blind. But what is the go if you have 2 blogs...can you split the posting every day across both of them? Or would that be considered cheating?

Here we are....November the first :)

I'm taking Snoskred's suggestion and profiling a different Australian blog every day this month and I think it is only right to start with blogs belonging to members of The Aussies. There are 29 of us so it is close to a whole month's worth right there! :)

Best regards, Andrew

Andrew,

Sounds like a good plan!

(BTW, since you've already interviewed me I won't feel at left out...)

Hi Meg,

you can't get out of it that easily... of course you will get a The Aussies-member-of-the-day post because:
- you are a true Australian blog Goddess,
- you are a wonderful person,
- you are a great community member, and
- there are only 29 of us and I need 29 days of material after today! :)

Bet regards, Andrew
