This is totally off topic, however, I am somewhat of an insomniac (especially since I am a member now of the ranks of the unemployed). I surf the internet quit a bit (when I am not working on some artwork, or going over articles of interest for MISPI), and I came across an interesting article having to do with blogs, and bloggers. I never really knew what a blogger was, except tha they would write alot. Usually about things that no one but themselves has any interest in................or so I thought. Anyway, I guess it is actually a business! People actually make cash doing this somehow. I have not quite figured out how, except that it has to do with click-traffic, and advertising.
Well, I am always interested in doing new and different things, and I love to talk about myself and my artwork, so, yup you guessed it. I started a blog. I also included a link to the MISPI site on it, in the hopes that anyone who may come and read my little meanderings may visit us here as well. Any way, here is the link for the blog. Check it out, there is not very much on it yet, however, I plan to write quit extensively on it. I plan to use it as a kind of "artist magazine" of sorts. Later, as i become more adept at it, I will figure out how to "monetize" it. This may also be a good thing for us (MISPI) to do in order to expand some fundraising opportunities for MISPI.
If you are interested in the site that I read, and am currently reading on this subject, it is:

Here also is my blog address:

Well, I did figure out how to monetize the blog. It is very easy to do actually. I also changed my blog address because of complications with the whole monetization process. So then, I am really hoping to try to turn this into a sort of artist Ezine. Once I have enough traffic, I plan to expand it quite a bit. Stop on by!
Hopefully, I will be able to talk to you on our wed night meeting!

Dragon,,,I went to your site,,,cool. I tried to email you, and it would not go through.
I write a bit, at one time alot,,,so I may give it a try.
Hey, with your artistic talents, can you dress up our forum a bit? It may draw more traffic so to speak. Pictures etc.
Email me if you can.

Ok. I purchased my domain tonight. Well, rather, last night now........LOL! Anyway the address is dragonbrusher.com when you go there and click on the forum link, take notice of the animated header at the forum. I am thinking of doing something similar for the MISPI site. With different colors and themes of course, and with some flying ghosts or something, however, you will see the point of it. 
Oh yeah, remember to register at the forum too! Pat, drop me an email at d.monroe@dragonbrusher.com to let me know what name you register with so I can get you into the correct spot.
