Steamgeek graciously invited me to this community as an alternative to the raucous and sometimes silly MySpace environment we've been sharing.

So far, I am impressed with the quality of the writing, the breadth of the topics, and the site in general.

The FAQ's, however, do not explain to me what, exactly, is appropriate for publication here. Clarification on which venue to use (forums, articles/blogs) for what type of post would be appreciated.

My blog covers many aspects of my life. I write blogs about my profession. I write blogs about my family. I write blogs about my perception of the world I inhabit. In the main, my blogs are personal. I do have a series of blogs regarding mentoring that are factually based, and could be written as articles, but they are still OpEd pieces.

So. What belongs here?

I have over 200 readers, many of whom also write well and thoughtfully. Once I have figured out what is appropriate for here, I'd like to extend an invitation to them to join me here as well.

Thanks for any input. I look forward to participating in the community, and hopefully to helping it grow.
