Happy Australia Day…

26. January 2008, 3:01 pmAustralia, Blogging, FriendsLulu

Today is Australia day (January 26th)…and I am listening to the Triple J hottest 100 as I write this because I know that this is what most of my friends back in Australia are doing right now! Although they are probably also drinking copious amounts of beer, wine and spirits and swimming…..while I am still in my pajamas!


Aussie Bloggers Forum

Recently I joined the
Aussie Bloggers Forum
 which started at the end of last year and already has over 250 members (In less than a month!) but it would be great to see more bloggers joining up because already I have found it to be a very welcoming and helpful community!

It has even inspired me to move my blog over to wordpress since so many people rave about it and updating my blog was on my life list which means I will finally be making a start on it! So I am in the process of switching it over now (Well Snoskred is doing most of the work!!! Thanks!) and it should be up sometime in February!

Earlier this week they launched the Aussie Bloggers Blog which I advice everyone, not just Australians, to check out because it is set to be filled with lots of great information for anyone blogging!

I started blogging to keep in contact with people back home, but most people that read my blog now were strangers until I started. But this blog, even though it doesn`t create much traffic, nor do I have many readers, has helped me make friends all over! I have blogging friends I always catch up with in Australia, I have other foreign friends who blog here in Japan and I even had one friend who blogs out of Canberra come visit me here in Tokyo while she was traveling around Japan (Hi Enny!!!!). I am sure this year will bring many more meetings between blogging friends!

I hope everyone, where ever they are are having a good weekend! Even if you are not out there celebrating Australia day!!!!

Happy Australia Day 2008!

    I’m a member there too, it’s a great idea and should be a huge success.
