I’ve been slowly getting back up to speed over the last three or four days and am getting to the point of catching up on a couple of weeks of unread emails and RSS feeds.
A big thanks to Aaron (who has a great new blog design) and Brian for their posts while I was away (I think Brian might have one more to finish his mini-series) and also to those bloggers who agreed to be featured in the One Question Interview series which I’ve had some great feedback on.
Sorry to those who I’ve not answered emails of in the last couple of weeks. I’m doing my best to get through them all but it is an uphill battle at the moment. If I’ve forgotten to get back to you it might be best if you try resending your email to get it back on my radar.
Thanks to everyone for your emails and comments of well wishes and congratulations after Xavier’s birth. Both he and V are doing really well. We’re finding a rhythm to our day (the nights are a little harder) and are doing really well. It’s probably going to take me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things with work as I find ways to deal with the challenges of sharing my work space with a mother and child (nice distractions – but at times not that conducive to work). For those who have been asking for another picture of Xavier (pronounced like ‘Zavier’ for those unfamiliar with it – more people than we thought) – I’ve posted one above. I’m not going to get in the habit of posting too many pictures of him but seeing is this is my ‘I’m back’ post I thought I should show you what I’ve been doing.
In terms of ProBlogger and where it’s headed next – I’ve got a long list of tips and posts that I want to write over the coming weeks and as always am dreaming up ways to take this blog to the next level in terms of how helpful it is to readers.
There will be more group writing projects (don’t forget the current one), lots of tips on how to improve your blog and make money along the way and perhaps even a rant of two (I know – it’s been a while but fatherhood has mellowed me).
