Thank you to the people who have been playing along with the Creative Commons. It has made it much easier to post at Think New Orleans. Because we’re sharing our photos in Flickr photo groups, I can pluck an image to put a post in context, in the context of our lives that we’re all living together.

Thank you for visiting Blogometer. I’m working to help people get started with web publishing in New Orleans, to share information through the recovery, and beyond. That’s at Think New Orleans.

I’m looking to pay more attention to blogs outside of New Orleans with an interest in New Orleans. Let me know about you blog. I’ll be blogging about the local bloggers in the coming days, so stay tuned. I promise, I’ll link you out of here, to every darn blogger I know. You’ll get to meet everybody.

In fact, I promise that I’ll introduce you to a New Orleans blogger every seven days. I’d start with whichever blogger wants to introduce a new blogger every seven days. They could start the next dy by introducing another blogger who could in turn introduce a new blogger every seven days. At the same time, I’m going to introduce friends of New Orleans bloggers, because if we pay attention to others, they’ll pay attention to us.

I’ll really make the introduction too. I’ll pull quote and link and you’ll have every reason to read that person and you’ll know why I read that person.

Fellow New Orleans bloggers my attention is all yours.

If you love conferences, come down for the Rising Tide Conference. You can also attend a number of commemorations of the anniversary of Katrina.

You could also help me get some new bloggers off the ground. I teach people how to use WordPress to communicate with their neighborhood. I’m starting new web sites every week. New voices from New Orleans.

Update: Hey, I’ll give a proper introduction tomorrow, but you can go and read Adrastos writing about the Katrina memorials right now. I’m busy this morning, and need to compile some examples of his work. Sorry, I thought I’d have a post already, but this isn’t as easy as you would think.

The first Geek Dinner with wine supplied by Stormhoek. This dinner will be held at Alan’s ghetto French Quarter courtyard and apartment, on July 14th, 2006 a Friday, at or about 7:00 pm.

It will take the form of a pot luck. I’ll buy as much food as my “budget” will allow, but you should all consider bringing something of your own.

Now go ahead, and RSVP. You can leave a message in the comments. I’m writing a nice document that says who is attending and who is who at the Geek Dinners page of the New Orleans Wiki.
