Blogging is hard work. We all know that. And not all of us have a job that lets us blog as a part of our work (even me, sometimes). To blog successfully (for a broad definition of success) you need to read and comment on other blogs, keep up with happenings in the space your blog covers and ideally, have some regular visitors to keep the traffic flowing
There are now lots of great Australian blogs covering a wealth of topics. And better yet, there’s now a place for bloggers of all levels of experience to go to discuss their issues.
A small group of Australian bloggers – Snoskred, Andrew Boyd and Meg Tsiamis – have set up Aussie Bloggers with the aim of “empowering, encouraging, supporting and promoting Aussie Bloggers and the Australian blogosphere in general”. There is also a group of moderators, including me, who come with years of practical blogging and online experience. The team is:
- Snoskred from Life in the Country
- Meg from Dipping into the Blogpond
- Andrew from On Blogging Australia
- Christine from Semfire Search Engine Marketing
- Karen from Miscellaneous Adventures of an Aussie Mum
- Gavin from Servant of Chaos
- Lani from Blogging Personal (launching in January 2008)
- Jen from Semantically Driven
- Lightening from Lightening Online
- Sue from Blogging Sueblimely
- Squadron from SEO Blog
- Kelley from Magneto Bold Too
- John from Disassociated
- Cellobella from SultanaBlog
- Martin from Small Office Australia
- Stephen from More Than Scratch the Surface
- Colin from Adelaide Green Porridge Cafe
I’m excited to be involved with Aussie Bloggers and hope it grows into a valuable resource for the Australian blogging community.

Hi Steve
Thanks for posting about the forum. We’re certainly off to a roaring start!
It’s great to have you as part of the team – thanks
Meg, my only issue is figuring out how to keep up with forum posts so that I can contribute in a useful way. My attention is already widely spread.
Is there RSS out of the forums?
Yes there is, but I’m pretty sure you get all posts, which doesn’t really help in filtering. I’ll send you an email
