Mancave, part 3

I’ve been working on this project quite a bit lately. Since my last post I’ve completed the wiring of both external lights, installed new internal track lights, and began installation of insulation and sheetrock on all 4 inside walls.

Yesterday I also purchased 2 recliners for after completion. it might be a bit early but I found a good deal on Craigslist that I didn’t want to pass up.

Next Steps:

  • Run cable for TV and Internet to the building and mount the box inside before sheetrocking the last piece.
  • Finish sheetrock on walls and start on ceiling.
  • Install vent fan in ceiling
  • Tape and bed walls

Google Plus +

By now most people have heard of Google Plus, Google’s new Social Media website.  They are competing with both Facebook and Twitter and apparently are growing quite quickly in members and popularity.  I myself got an invite from a friend and created a G+ account with my Google Profile.

My Google+ Profile – If you have a Google account, come over and follow me.  I will be posting to the site quite a bit.  The application is gaining the attention of many professional bloggers, including Darren Rowse.  They are saying that the G+ Application will be better for promoting blogs and bloggers than Facebook is, but of course only time will tell if that is true.  Still though, with the gaining popularity, it is a great source of social networking for your blog, business or just yourself.

Bloggers Network

For some time now I have been thinking in the back of my mind about setting up some sort of network for bloggers, both professional and hobbyists, to share information, ideas, and post questions about how to run a more efficient and effective blog.  The idea, while sitting in the back of my head, didn’t really hold any form other than a simple fact that I wanted to help bloggers and surround myself with people who were like-minded in blogging.

Thanks to my friend over at dotCommunicable(this is a new site he has started) I think the time has come to put this plan in action.

This is just a preliminary idea for now, but I want to setup a closed discussion forum that is by-invitation only.  Once membership is approved, members will be able to login to share ideas and post questions about all aspects of blogging.  From which software to use, where to host your site, what plugins are best for your niche, links to sites like yours, and advertising plans; we will be able to help each other with our personal and professional blogging websites.  All niches are welcome, too.  Even if we get 15-20 people who all want to blog about cooking and food recipes, I believe each person and each website has their own unique point of view to offer.  The more we can work together, the more we can all benefit together.

I’ve had this website up for a long time, and I realize that my postings are usually few and far between, but each time I go and check my RSS links, I am surprised by how many people follow this blog.  So if you are interested in learning more about this community I am about to build, and if you have anything to offer, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
