I believe I had admitted before that I don't subscribe to any RSS feeds. If not, I am admitting it now.

In that situation attending something like WordCamp might be very beneficial to your new brand. At these events, you are able to network with the interesting people that represent the blog that you might read.

Having an Ego

Every time that you get together in a large group setting with other designers or developers, there happens to be people that have larger ego's than others. Don't approach people with an ego, try and be as friendly as possible, if you have a good project - be proud of it. But don't let ...
