The light bulb went into overdrive.

Okay I seem to have got myself into a time management fix.  Things would have been easier if I could but:

•  Have started this project a few years ago -like when the Internet first started!!!-
•  I focused only on the one topic.
• Building up a viewer base
• Got this one topic done and went onto another new blog with a different focus
• Utilised the social networking sites.
• knew how to use the social networking sites properly.
• Had guest writers.. 

This last one has had me really stuck.  How does one get guest writers?

I then met an overseas student going back to their home.  I simply asked  if that person would share with me photos of places I might like to visit in a country I might never have the money to visit.  I later suggested that maybe if I invited them as a coauthor they could down load a pictures and write their own blurb directly onto the travel blog describing what the picture was about, the best time to see the place and a little about the places history. 

Well the first invitations have gone out to this person and a few more. It will be interesting to see what else happens and if this actually works.

Then I thought of all the people who cook and the different inforation and backgrounds that collectively we all have.  Would they too like to add photos, recipes, preparations for event and everything to do with food and it's preparation.

After that I got to think about gardening, household management and even Girl Guides things going on line once again. 

Okay simple as it sounds there maybe human factors to consider.  The one like yes well do this but we don't really want to, so we wont replay.  This decision is theirs to make.  However I would like to know up front and I would stop the query there.  However I know that if I could just keep asking I will one day get someone who follows through with a post and article.

I may then have to deal with shock at the on going outcomes.  But what a pleasure. Letting others share something that is free for them to do. while giving other the pleasure of sharing a load of focused, interlinked information on a gradually widening subject curve.  If all the readers and coauthors [guest writers] then share this information along their networks more people have the opportunity of learning something useful, challenging, informative and inclusive.

what is cve4me

I'm into community development. For sustainable community development people have a need to be heard as well as all information to be present.


The use of my business name 'Clear Vision Enertprises' provides a reference focal point . Utilizing this platform type I encourage others to reach out with sustaining communities. Record what they see. People have a right to be heard. In short through the blog and social network mediums advocacy is being achieved. Like developing communities I have found that people are waking up to where they have been and what might be there next dawn.

When information is linked and people are able to find out what information goes where then those same people can be better informed. It is when people are better informed that they can make more appropriate judgements suitable for their own situation perceptions. Simple things like where to take a family out for the day, what to cook for a guest with a diet challenge, just what to do next in the garden, games to play, activities to do, what triggers a change in people, that they get up and travel, start to walk the family pet.

The problem is that history is a fickle thing. There one minute and past the next. All people within communities are effected and have an effect on others. However people are increasingly insular. Not

seeing what there is around them. Social networking is a great benefit as family units and individuals travel and move off. The belonging to some groups and interests may stay the same but the people involved and other distracting influences alter the belonging feelings. Other times just having some tie to a group or community will tied one over until new connections are in situ. Continuity is retained when people have recorded 'things' so that even when away from their presence people can reach back to those community ties.

Using a combination of bloggingg and social networking for future generations to see messages and thoughts of people, their actions, information and experiences make families and ties to history slightly less 'disposable'.

But the stories are left behind, forgotten about as something else starts to take over. Like people looking back where are the stories which used to be told at family gatherings, or around the kitchen tables. Communities are like families. New people move in. Community cultures change. Old ways that have worked may need to be altered... just the same as re birthing of communities at times need to occur. New judgements are made on who walks that pathway now as well as the conditions present . Decisions based on incorrect or not known histories.

So what better way to inform the people than to get many people using a method in which these stories are recorded
