Blogging In Public
So my buddy Nick from RomanDock has a fantastic post where he has picked some bloggers and has given them a topic that he wants to see them blog about. The topics are really interesting and I have “blogging in public” as my topic.
I have always thought about blogging in public and have always wondered how that would work out. I know that sometimes I have to blog when I am not at my workstation and that always feels weird for me because my workstation is where I have done most of my blogging. Just this morning, I had written a post from someone else’s house and i dont feel as creative but I am sure that blogging in public could be fun if you get creative. Here are some of the ways that I can see someone blogging
1) NSFW – (not safe for work) – I know some people who blog from work and thats definitely not safe for work (and yes, I know thats not the traditional way that most people say NSFW but it works!). Either way, I dont think the boss would be too happy about it but if you do it before you actually start work then I dont think theres anything too wrong with that.
2) Coffee Shop – I know that this is the most popular location for most bloggers and I know that Justine loves to blog while shes at the coffee shop but I know I wouldnt mind blogging at the coffee shop either.
3) Park – I have seen some people who sit near the lake at a park and use their computer for work and I think that would be a relaxing environment to do some blogging in. I have written one blog post where I sat by a lake and it was really great!
4) Gym – There are some body builders that actually write blog posts while they are at the gym. They usually have a video feed to go along with it but I know that some of them do that. I think that would be interesting although some people at my gym would find it odd that I brought a laptop with me!
I really couldnt think of anywhere else that I would try blogging and even then I would kind of feel out of place because I wouldn’t be at my desk. Plus as many of you know, I really dont like using a laptop but I do have a handheld that I use sometimes and although its a little slow it gets the job done. Well, Nick, I hope that was a good post as I really enjoyed writing it. Thanks again for the chance and if some of the other bloggers don’t pick any of their topics then Ill be sure to pick some later!
I also wanted to call attention to some of the other bloggers that Nick had highlighted and wanted to re-post his list so that you guys can blog about the topics he has picked

That post turned out pretty good! There were a couple different ways that I think you could have written it and I think how you did was great! Thanks for playing the game and thanks for the links as well
I actually want to do a part II on it because after I wrote it I came up with a few more ways so maybe sometime soon Ill have a part II to that post.
