My Vision.
Hello out there. I'm sure you've probably noticed a lack of posts/involvement/general interest in SEMO Bloggers as of late. I want to share with you what my original goal and vision for SEMO Bloggers was, and what I'd like to see happen in the future.
First off, check out this website. Do a little browsing. Check out the past events. Scan through the blogger member's page.
Ok, so that's a pretty neat thing the city of Boston is doing, huh?
That really about sums up what I was hoping SEMO Bloggers could become. I wanted to create a group where bloggers young and old could mingle, share advice and learn from each other. I also wanted this group to be about amazing blog content and loving the art of writing.
I wanted bloggers to come together for support, encouragement and all around good times. We had a couple of really great meetings with both new and veteran bloggers, but unfortunately the past couple of months the interest has fizzled out.
That's where you come in. If you're at all interested in doing Blogger meet ups, happy hours, bbq's and more, please comment below. If you're willing to help me spread the word i.e. put up fliers, tell your friends to come, do a little advertising on your blog, please comment below.
The point is, I can't do SEMO Bloggers alone. I'm busy, I have my own blog, family, job etc. I would just love to participate in something big like what I believe SEMO Bloggers could be.

SEMO Bloggers
SEMO Bloggers had their FIRST MEETING yesterday!
It was such a great success! We all had so much fun getting to talk to everyone about the various blog topics and getting to know everyone that much more. So glad everyone could join for the first meeting. Hopefully we will get more people (those who don't blog too) to come next time. Enjoy some pictures from the event!
Emily at Love Woke Me Up This Morning had this awesome salad. Doesn't this look good? It tasted even better! Calix has some AWESOME food if I do say so myself.
Nothing like some blogging with good friends!
We felt SO official with your reserved sign and eveything!
From left to right: Lauren with Livin' On a Prayer, Leslie with Life Told By Leslie, Emily W with Emily, Derek, and Stratton, and Emily H with Love Woke Me Up This Morning. Not pictured is Bobby with Purveyor of Positive.
We had such a great time and I can't wait until next month to meet up again and hopefully see some more new faces!

Don't forget everyone! SEMO Bloggers first meeting will be on Monday, July 11th at 6pm at Calix coffeebar on Broadway. Bring your laptop if you'd like, and a little cash-ola if you want to eat dinner. Calix will have soups and sandwiches available, and also delicious coffee :)
The purpose of this first meeting is to get to know each other a bit, take down each other's info i.e. Twitter accounts, websites, etc, and to discuss blogging goals.
If you have a friend who is an avid blog reader but doesn't yet have a blog themselves, bring em' along! We'd love to meet them and also help them start their own blog if they're interested!
This weekend I'll be putting up posters in local business around town, so look for those as well.

-rules for geocaching
-basic guidelines for geocache
-types of geocache
If you are interested in coming please let me know by messaging me at jacksonink@hotmail.com or by leaving a comment on here. I hope I can get some partakers. See everyone there!

SEMO BLOGGERS FIRST MEETING!
Hello All! Just wanted to send a quick update that we have decided when and where our first meeting will be held. We will meet on Monday, July 11th at Calix Coffee Bar on Broadway from 6-7ish pm. The purpose of this first meeting will be to get each other's blog information, introduce ourselves, and discuss what we would like to learn in the upcoming meetings. We are also interested in finding out what activities each blogger is involved in so we can support each other. If you've got a 5K coming up or if your church is having a VBS and you need volunteers, LET US KNOW! We want to support each other not only with our blogging but with our daily activities and interests as well.
Feel free to bring your laptop, also pen and paper for writing down other bloggers info. Calix Coffee Bar will have soups and sandwiches available if you're hungry....and the coffee is AMAZING as well so get excited!

Bloggers Conference Planning Meeting
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Emily and I will be meeting next week to go over a few things for the SEMO Bloggers Conference we are planning on having this summer. Our goal for SEMO Bloggers is that bloggers, or even blog readers, can come together and share ideas or inspiration that one might have for writing. We would like to eventually have designated professionals come to meetings and share tips with the group as well. To help us with our planning, I have a few questions that I'm hoping you'll help me answer.
1. What are some of your favorite blogs, and what about those blogs keeps you coming back to read more?
2. If you are a blogger, is there an aspect of blogging that you could use some help with? Examples could be graphic design, grammatical skills, post promotion, etc?
3. We are planning to have our first meeting this summer at either a local coffee shop or in a church meeting room. Do weekends or weeknights work best for you to get away for about 2 hours?
Answering these questions will greatly help with our planning, so thanks in advance for taking the time to contribute! Keep checking the site for updates, we hope to have a date set soon!
