Dustin. I don’t know that I’d have time for dinner, but I do look forward to finally meeting you in person. I’ll be there Tuesday afternoon and then fly out Wednesday.

This should be fun. Looking forward to meeting some of you bloggy blog types in SF at Inman.

Anil,

So glad you stopped by… I definitely look forward to meeting you as well!

And I know at least one of the contributors users TypePad for her blogs, so I imagine you’ll definitely see some support around here for the great job you’ve done building up that platform!

Hi Dustin, thanks for the shout-out. I’ll be happy to fill you in on what you might be missing about the benefits of our platforms, if you want. The important thing is that you’re excited about getting new people blogging — the rest is just details. Our mission’s about helping people discover blogs, not about which software they use, though of course I think our platforms are the best.

Looking forward to meeting!

I only wish I had access to some pixie dust… My daughter outmaneuvers me on a regular basis, and I always blame it on her amazing stash of the stuff!

“I think there is a misconception that creating a vibrant community requires some form of pixie dust…”

We don’t have pixie dust? I thought we had pixie dust

Great point Joe… It’s definitely been interesting to watch many people with the real estate professions succeed when they do get out of their comfort zone!

Hi Dustin,

As always, another great post about blogging!

I’ve been so impressed with what you’ve done with RCG. I’m trying to get a group of fellow illustrators/artists/authors I know into blogging to better promote ourselves; and your various posts about blogging have been very helpful in that regard. I’m making slow but steady progress on that front (I think )….jeesh, trying to get people out of their old comfort zone can be very difficult.
