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.
